<p>Chris Hemsworth may be one of the most popular actors in the world, but the actors states he is not taken seriously by critics for a particular reason.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Hemsworth opened up about to E! News and said that movie fanatics and critics do not consider him in the same league as Leonardo DiCaprio or Daniel Day Lewis simply because he`s muscular.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
He explained, "Bodybuilding is seen as vanity, whereas if I put on a bunch of unhealthy weight, or got unhealthily skinny for a role, I`d probably be called a serious actor."<br />
<br />
Talking about portraying Thor as not being an easy task, the actor said, "The training across 10 years of doing it is a full-time job."<br />
<br />
He continued, "That and then a 12-hour shooting day--it`s real grind. It`s incredibly rewarding, too--you have to look at it like a professional athlete."<br />
<br />
Indeed, as the Marvel star explains, "there`s an aesthetic that the role requires." After all, Thor is a literal Norse god.<br />
<br />
Hemsworth and the rest of the crew have started filming on the fourth installment of the franchise, `Thor: Love and Thunder`, following a postponement caused by the coronavirus pandemic.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
He said the nearly five-month delay was for the best, as it gave him more time to prepare for the role.&nbsp;</p>

'Jojo Rabbit' filmmaker Taika Waititi to direct and co-write new 'Star Wars' movie

<p>Hitler's hegemony over Germany and the fascist rule that broke the country's spine is a topic that has been well explored. World War and its futility is one of Hollywood's most tried and tested themes. But Taika Waititi's latest film 'Jojo Rabbit' is the most endearing story on Nazi Germany that one has seen in a long time.</p>

<p>Now, Hitler's brutal rule and his oppression can never have the word endearment attached to it. But Waititi narrates the story of a 10-year-old Jojo- who lives with free-spirited mother Rosie(Scarlett Johansson) in Hitler-ruled Germany. Jojo is part of the young boys' scout club - where young children are trained to be a part of the German army in the future.</p>

<p>While Jojo is a supreme worshipper of Hitler and even has an imaginary friend Adolf (Waititi himself) who is basically the dictator himself--the 10-year-old is still scared of explosions, guns and can't even kill a rabbit much to the amusement of his friends at the camp.</p>

<p>Jojo is obviously brainwashed about Jews and he knows for sure that he will be able to spot one from distance and kill 'it'. Things are fine untill he discovers his mother has hidden a Jew girl in the attic of their house.</p>

<p>Will he turn her in or use it for his convenience, forms the rest of the story.</p>

<p>'Jojo Rabbit' comes at a time when the world over the youth is resisting fascist leaders and state oppression. Slyly and in the most humourous way, the film highlights the way Nazi brainwashed young children to think in certain ways -- that how it would resist any kind of questioning or free-thinking.</p>

<p>Waititi's film is sprinkled with hilarious moments between Jojo and his imaginary friend Adolf who looks like the fascist leader but behaves and reacts like a 10-year-old. The two run at the sight of violence or explosion and even though they keep 'hail hitlering' around they are actually both scared of any kind of aggression.</p>

<p>Young actor Roman Griffin Davis plays Jojo with absolute perfection. He holds the film together and it's from his perspective that the entire story is narrated. Davis is a confident performer and with his charm and perfect comic timing - delivers the most heartwarming performance.</p>

Hitler's hegemony over Germany and the fascist rule that broke the country's spine is a topic that has been well explored. World War and its futility is one of Hollywood's most tried and tested themes.

Hitler's hegemony over Germany and the fascist rule that broke the country's spine is a topic that has been well explored. World War and its futility is one of Hollywood's most tried and tested themes. But Taika Waititi's latest film 'Jojo Rabbit' is the most endearing story on Nazi Germany that one has seen in a long time. Now, Hitler's brutal rule and his oppression can never have the word endearment attached to it. But Waititi narrates the story of a 10-year-old Jojo- who lives with free-spirited mother Rosie(Scarlett Johansson) in Hitler-ruled Germany. Jojo is part of the young boys' scout club - where young children are trained to be a part of the German army in the future. While Jojo is a supreme worshipper of Hitler and even has an imaginary friend Adolf (Waititi himself) who is basically the dictator himself--the 10-year-old is still scared of explosions, guns and can't even kill a rabbit much to the amusement of his friends at the camp. Jojo is obviously brainwashed about Jews and he knows for sure that he will be able to spot one from distance and kill 'it'. Things are fine untill he discovers his mother has hidden a Jew girl in the attic of their house. Will he turn her in or use it for his convenience, forms the rest of the story. 'Jojo Rabbit' comes at a time when the world over the youth is resisting fascist leaders and state oppression. Slyly and in the most humourous way, the film highlights the way Nazi brainwashed young children to think in certain ways -- that how it would resist any kind of questioning or free-thinking. Waititi's film is sprinkled with hilarious moments between Jojo and his imaginary friend Adolf who looks like the fascist leader but behaves and reacts like a 10-year-old. The two run at the sight of violence or explosion and even though they keep 'hail hitlering' around they are actually both scared of any kind of aggression. Young actor Roman Griffin Davis plays Jojo with absolute perfection. He holds the film together and it's from his perspective that the entire story is narrated. Davis is a confident performer and with his charm and perfect comic timing - delivers the most heartwarming performance. Scarlett Johansson is like a breath of fresh air whenever she comes on the screen. The adult in the house, she tries to reason with her fanatic 10-year-old son with humour and love.

'Jojo Rabbit' review: Taika Waititi's satire on fascism is all heart

Critics' Choice Awards 2020: Billy Porter, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya dazzle on the red carpet

<p>Director Taika Waititi explains why he agreed to essay the role of Adolf Hitler in 'Jojo Rabbit'. During the film's premiere at American Legion Post 43 on Tuesday night, Waititi explained why despite other actors being on his wish list to play the role, he took on the part himself.<br />
<br />
"You start out&nbsp;thinking of bigger stars to be part of a film like this or to play this imaginary Hitler. But at the end of the day, it came down to the simple fact that if we had done that, that would have overshadowed the heart of the story which is this beautiful story, this relationship story between these two kids," he told a magazine.<br />
<br />
"And if there was a big celebrity then it would have become the so-and-so Hitler film,&nbsp;which is not at all what this is," added the filmmaker.<br />
<br />
The upcoming satirical comedy revolves around a lonely German boy Jojo Rabbit, whose life is turned upside after discovering that his mother Rosie, played by Scarlet Johansson, is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic during World War II.</p>

<p>The only person he feels he can truly count on is his imaginary friend Adolf Hitler, portrayed by Taika Waititi. Apart from starring in the film, Waititi has also directed the upcoming movie. It is set to hit the big screens on October 18.<br />

'Jojo Rabbit' is a comic satire about a 10-year-old German boy Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) during the World War Two, who finds out his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic and turns for help to his imaginary friend Adolph Hitler (Waititi).<br />

'Jojo Rabbit' wins audience award at Toronto film festival; next stop, Oscars?

<p>Sometimes real-life experiences can be really helpful, especially when you are taking inspiration for a specific character. Something similar happened with actor Scarlett Johansson, who revealed that being a mother helped her for the upcoming movie `Jojo Rabbit`.<br />
<br />
Being a real-life mother to a five-year-old Rose helped Johansson portray a parent on the big screen twice in 2019, reported Entertainment Weekly.<br />
<br />
The `Avengers` actor opened up about the same while visiting the EW and PEOPLE studio at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) where her next outing <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/scarlett-johansson-unveils-jojo-rabbit-marriage-story-in-toronto-248643">`Jojo Rabbit`</a> premiered on Sunday."It`s a parent`s job to protect their kids," Johansson said at TIFF."I think that by not involving Roman`s character in the reality of what`s going on at home. I think I`m basically keeping him alive that way. I`ve never had a child in a film before. And then this year, I made two films where suddenly I had 10 and 11-year-olds -- so I kind of became this insta-parent," she added.</p>

<p>The `Black Widow` actor noted that being a parent herself has been "invaluably helpful" in portraying the role of Rosie on screen."I think for actors, of course, there are ways of getting yourself where you need to go. Being a parent myself was just invaluably helpful to me," Johansson said.</p>

Sometimes real-life experiences can be really helpful, especially when you are taking inspiration for a specific character. Something similar happened with actor Scarlett Johansson, who revealed that being a mother helped her for the upcoming movie `Jojo Rabbit`. Being a real-life mother to a five-year-old Rose helped Johansson portray a parent on the big screen twice in 2019, reported Entertainment Weekly. The `Avengers` actor opened up about the same while visiting the EW and PEOPLE studio at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) where her next outing `Jojo Rabbit` premiered on Sunday."It`s a parent`s job to protect their kids," Johansson said at TIFF."I think that by not involving Roman`s character in the reality of what`s going on at home. I think I`m basically keeping him alive that way. I`ve never had a child in a film before. And then this year, I made two films where suddenly I had 10 and 11-year-olds -- so I kind of became this insta-parent," she added. The `Black Widow` actor noted that being a parent herself has been "invaluably helpful" in portraying the role of Rosie on screen."I think for actors, of course, there are ways of getting yourself where you need to go. Being a parent myself was just invaluably helpful to me," Johansson said. "I had empathy for Rosie`s plate that I may not have had insight on otherwise. She was just a joy to play. She`s a warm, lovable character that felt really comfy to me. And I wanted that to come across, that she`s just comfortable and kind of sugary and warm," she said of her character. The satirical comedy revolves around a lonely German boy JoJo "Rabbit" Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis), whose life is turned upside after discovering that his mother Rosie (Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic during World War II. The only person he feels he can truly count on is his imaginary friend Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi). Apart from starring in the film, Waititi has also directed the upcoming drama. It is set to hit the big screens on October 18.
