"I met with Joss Whedon, the director, a few times and discussed a rough outline of it," Chris Hemsworth told E! Online in a recent interview when asked for an update on the upcoming movie. "I haven't seen a hard copy yet so I'm looking forward to it... Just working with that cast and Joss. Every step of this has been exciting. I'm looking forward to the rest of it."
The 27-year-old actor has already talked about training to play the God of Thunder, but how is he maintaining that superhero body in the gap between when
Thor wrapped and the start of filming for
The Avengers next year?
"I'm trying to sort of maintain the strength I built up. The actual weight, and size wise, has a lot to do with the food intake. So I've lessened that just because half the battle was to eat that much chicken."
How much chicken?
"My body weight in protein pretty much!" Hemsworth laughed. "A number of chicken breasts a day and fish and steak and eggs... There's worse things to complain about but it was certainly an effort."
Thor is set to be released on May 6, 2011 with
The Avengers following a year later on May 4, 2012!
