Chris Pratt says Chris Hemsworth 'is like Thor in real life' and he 'loved every minute' of filming 'Thor: Love and Thunder'

• Chris Pratt told SFX magazine he loved working with Chris Hemsworth for "Thor: Love and Thunder."
• "He is like Thor in real life," Pratt said. "He's the sweetest dude. Super-funny. Works so hard."

Chris Pratt gushed about being part of the upcoming fourth installment of "Thor" and acting alongside fellow Marvel star Chris Hemsworth.

"I love being able to work with Chris Hemsworth," Pratt, who plays Peter Quill/Star-Lord, told SFX magazine in the new issue. "He is like Thor in real life. He's the sweetest dude. Super-funny. Works so hard."

"It was great. I loved every minute of shooting," Pratt added of his experience filming "Thor: Love and Thunder," which will include characters from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films.

"I'm so grateful that they brought us along," the actor said. "It was neat to see him bring this to Australia and shoot it there, with all of his fellow countrymen. And with director Taika Waititi, who is just outrageous. His style is so unique."

"Thor: Love and Thunder" follows Hemsworth's titular God of Thunder as he embarks on a journey of inner peace and self-discovery following the events of "Avengers: Endgame."

In the 2019 blockbuster film, Thor was last seen on a spacecraft with Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), Drax (Dave Bautista), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), and Nebula (Karen Gillan). Before leaving, he gave Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) his blessing to become the "king" of New Asgard.

The first trailer for "Thor: Love and Thunder" showed Valkyrie on the throne, Thor interacting with Star-Lord, Russell Crowe as Zeus, and Natalie Portman's Jane Foster wielding the hammer as Mighty Thor.

The movie will also star Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher, though Marvel has yet to release an official look at the actor as the villain.

"Thor: Love and Thunder" hits theaters on Friday, July 8
