During a conversation with ABC News, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Hemsworth, and Scarlett Johansson shared the details about their outfits and how uncomfortable they were during the shoot.

After Johansson, Chris Hemsworth also shared that his Thor costume had an attached air-conditioning unit. The ‘Extraction’ actor explained the functionality of it saying, “It was like this T-shirt you’d wear with like a hose that you’d plug in, and there was cool water.”

Tom confided in her about his costume, explaining the difficulty of surviving in the heavy costume.
