14 DAY TRIAL // Because the release date of Marvel’s next blockbuster, “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” is drawing near, Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor in this ensemble franchise and his standalone movies, will be hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend.
The first promo for the show has been released: it also stars Kate McKinnon and you will find it embedded below.
McKinnon most recently made headlines for her hilarious Justin Bieber impersonation, but she does a very convincing job as a Hemsworth fangirl as well.
Because he is such a big and muscular guy, she asks him to grant her an old wish, that of recreating the lift made famous by the 1987 classic film “Dirty Dancing,” starring the late Patrick Swayze. You wouldn’t think he wasn’t able to do it by looking at him, but it turns out that Chris has never seen the movie - so instead, he puts Kate in a chokehold.
The promo also includes plenty of obvious (but still hilarious) jokes about how he’s Australia’s most handsome import, his muscles and a rumored rivalry with his brother, Liam. You might remember him from “The Hunger Games” franchise and Miley Cyrus’ arm a while back.
Hemsworth has not had much success outside the Marvel universe, but he’s always a pleasure to look at. And not just because he’s so incredibly handsome, though that helps.
