Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Aug 9 (ANI): It has been five weeks since ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ hit the theaters in India and the makers of the film are quite happy with the film’s performance in the country. The film recently completed its fifth weekend and has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark!
‘Thor’ is the second Hollywood film to cross the magical Rs 100 crore mark this year. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his social media handle to share the news. According to him, the film earned Rs 79.07 crore in first week, Rs 14.46 crore in week 2, Rs 4.34 crore in week 3, Rs 1.69 crore in week 4 and Rs 46 lakh in week 5.
The film hit theaters on July 7. The film stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman in the lead roles.
Recently, Chris Hemsworth revealed that his younger brother Liam Hemsworth was almost cast as Marvel’s Thor instead of him.
According to E! News, while promoting the franchise’s latest installment, “Thor: Love and Thunder,” the 38-year-old revealed how close Liam Mjolnir was to playing the swinging character.
While many recent Marvel Cinematic Universe projects are exploring the multiverse, the same is not the case with Thor: Love and Thunder.
Chris told an entertainment outlet, “In this film, it’s not something that we explore. But who knows there is more in the future, as you say it has opened up a lot of options in which we may proceed or join in.
He said he wants his brother Liam to play an alternate version of Thor if the movies ever explore the multiverse.
“My little brother was almost cast as Thor. He was one of the first people who went right over the wire when I got the part, I don’t know, I could have crossed paths with him. It’s funny Will,” Chris admitted.
Last month, during a show, Chris recalled not getting a call-back for the role after his initial audition. “I think my audition sucked. I think that’s the reaction I got,” he said.
Although Chris didn’t make the next round, Liam decided to pursue the gig soon after—and effectively considered it “the last five guys”.
“They were like, ‘Look, he’s great, but he’s a little short.’ My manager then said, ‘Well, he has an older brother,’ which I was,” he explained, “I came back, re-audited a few times, and just had a different attitude.
Chris eventually joined the MCU, with the first Thor film premiering in 2011. But Liam didn’t get the short end of the stick as he debuted a year later in ‘The Hunger Games’ in 2012.
The franchise has proven to have deep family ties to the Hemsworth brothers. Chris and Liam’s older brother, Luke, has appeared in both “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Thor: Love and Thunder” playing Thor as an Asgardian actor in a cameo, as E! news. (ANI)
