‘Are you crazy?! I’m not going into any retirement period,’ he said.

‘Thor is far too young for that. He’s only 1,500 years old. It’s definitely not a film that I say goodbye to. At least I hope so.’

The movie, the fourth in the action franchise, reunites Chris with Tessa Thompson and Natalie, and also features Christian Bale.
