Last week,Spider-Man: Homecomingstar Tom Holland suited up as Spidey to visit a local Atlanta Children’s Hospital while on-location shooting the Marvel Phase 3 adventure. The superhero charity train continued this week, asThor: Ragnarokstars took a break from shooting their sequel to drop in on some unexacting kids. And trust us, they were all very excited!
Tom Hiddleston showed up at the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital wearing the same black suit he’s been spotted shooting in on the streets of Brisbane this past week. He was accompanied by co-star and leading man Chris Hemsworth, who dropped by this Australia hospital in Thor’s civilian wardrobe. He didn’t need his Asgardian armor to be immediately recognized by the patients, though!
Marvel Studiosand Chris Hemsworth shared photos from the fun meet and greet, which included an appearance by Thor’s mighty hammerMjolnir. TheThorpair even appeared on the hospital’s own TV show called Juiced TV, which is a series created by the kids for the kids who are visiting the hospital. You can also see some of that video below. Chris Hemsworth had this to say about the experience.
