You don’t have to be a Marvel fan to like Thor. Ask any Aussie.
Today will have been a day of celebration if you are as low-key nerdy as some at the Original Ballers. The long-anticipated Thor: Love And Thunder trailer was unleashed globally, and Hemsworth fans rejoice. The ‘Thor bod’ is back in all its glory.
Hemsworth, who has been the only person to play the role of the Norse God Thor, is back, and he isn’t alone. We aren’t about to spoil the trailer for you. However, we have included the link below for your viewing pleasure. Hemsworth has been known to many as the ripped-Norse God who, in fact, is as Aussie as they come. The Norse God loves watching his AFL team the Western Bulldogs, loves to surf and above all, loves to keep in shape.
Many who have fallen in love with the Marvel franchise have become somewhat obsessed with superhero workouts. There’s no questioning why, from Captain America to Thor, the hero body has amassed much support from both men and women aspiring to either lose weight or put on some muscle. We thought we would share the Norse God’s intense workout for some inspiration as winter rolls in.
