In a recent Instagram video, the Thor actor swapped his hammer for some MMA moves. The 41-year-old showed off his skills wearing nothing but short black shorts, sneakers, and an intense determination to teach that punching bag who’s boss.
The clip shows Hemsworth throwing punches, kicks, and knees mercilessly at the bag. His toned body is impossibly shredded, with his shoulders and arms sporting muscles atop of muscles.
The actor teased that the training was for his role in his next Marvel Cinematic Universe project, Avengers: Doomsday.
“A little Avengers pre-game warm up, coming in hot,” Hemsworth wrote alongside the footage.
