Speaking to Men's Journal, the Extraction actor shared that he tore ligaments and injured his back completing the series, all while simultaneously training to play Thor.

"The aim is to kick off the bottom 20 times, giving me just a split second to give me enough air," Hemsworth explains in an exclusive teaser clip
