On a serious note the actor added that there was a huge amunt of pressume going into the film. "Thor is the only character to make a fourth film so far (in the MCU), so I wanted to do something different. I want to always do better with this character."

Earlier, the actor had opened up about Christian Bale, who essays the role of Gorr the God Butcher, saying, "You can’t take your eyes off him. The character is fascinating because, like all good villains, Gorr has a point. He may not be going about it the right way, but there’s empathy in the script, and Christian brought so many more layers and so much more depth to Gorr."

The Taika Waititi directorial is slated for release on July 7 in India.
