‘Thor: Love and Thunder‘ is gaining praise everywhere. But, Chris Hemsworth’s daughter India, has also gained the limelight because of the film. It seems she has a potential future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Despite being the daughter of the star, India didn’t get her role in the film easily. Hemsworth, along with his wife Elsa Pataky, helped her in tape recording for director Taika Waititi, which paved the path for her entry. Hemsworth said he “was feeling nervous when she was on set”, but India seems to have natural talent.
Introducing Chris Hemsworth’s Daughter In ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’
In the film, India plays the role of Love and eventually dies. But in the end, she comes back to life by her father, Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale). India is also seen raised by her uncle Thor, where she argues with him over the topic of wearing boots.
Talking about shooting with his daughter, Hemsworth said, “It was just like when I’m at home, trying to tell her to do anything, she’s like, ‘Pfft, no, I’ll do it my way.’ And power to her, good on her, because she did an incredible job.”
Thor and Love both have magical power weapons. Thor has Mjolnir – a magic hammer while Love has Stormbreaker – an enchanted axe used to kill Thanos.
India’s successful entry in the movie made this a family movie. Her mom Pataky has been seen, “as the wolf woman whom Thor passionately kisses in the flashback.”

The director talked about India’s casting: “It was not always the plan. The idea started really when Chris was talking about India. And he was like, ‘Oh, you know, it would kind of be quite cool for me to be in a scene with my daughter.’ I started looking around like, Oh, everyone has kids. All of these actors have kids.”
Christian Bale said, “Chris was a wonderfully attentive dad, just off-camera all the time, just checking she was all right, giving me thumbs up, me giving him thumbs up, checking. It was really endearing seeing the two of them. He sort of let her be, and she did it herself.”
Hemsworth also was happy. “I love the ownership the kids have in moments like that,” It’s a good reminder, of it, for all of us just to stay true to who we are and not get caught up in the self-importance of it all. They really bring you back to Earth and ground the whole experience,” he said.
“I really love the idea that my kids can look back on this moment and be like, oh wow, we were there. There’s a record of it,” Waititi emphasized.
