It's a wrap on the shooting of Thor: Love and Thunder and Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth on Wednesday promised fans that the upcoming movie will be "crazy off the wall funny".

The actor, who reprises his role as the titular superhero in the Taika Waititi directorial, said working on the film was an "incredible Marvel journey".

"That's a wrap on Thor Love and Thunder, it's also national don't flex day so I thought this super relaxed photo was appropriate," Chris Hemsworth wrote alongside a photo of his with Waititi on Instagram.
