Marvel is popular for its unexpected cameos in its films. A brief appearance from a particular character or actor has become the hallmark of the franchise. Topping the list of memorable cameos are those of the late Stan Lee, who appeared in every MCU film. An interesting cameo occurred in Hemsworth’s Thor franchise by his wife, Elsa Pataky, and the two shared an on-screen kiss.

Chris Hemsworth has been playing the superhero character Thor for a long time. There are a total of four movies in the Thor franchise that the actor has been part of. Playing the superhero has been an interesting role for Hemsworth.

Natalie Portman is known for playing Jane Foster, the love interest of Thor. The duo shared a passionate kiss at the end of Thor: The Dark World, but to everyone’s surprise, Portman was unable to reprise her role while shooting that scene.
To work on this a special stunt double was brought in, and that was none other than Hemsworth real wife Elsa Pataky.

The Fast and Furious actress stepped in for Portman during reshoots. She was traveling with her husband and their daughter India Rose, at the time.
With the use of perfect technology and camera angle, the scene was seamlessly executed.

The 41-year-old actress spoke about the kiss during an interview. She said, “It was such a perfect solution, wasn’t it? They put his wife in my wig and costume, that’s why it was so passionate.”

The 39-year-old actor’s wife had appeared several times in the Thor franchise. She has made three cameo appearances, all in the Extraction stars movie. She appeared in Thor: Ragnarök as one of the Sakaaran nurses who treated Thor’s wounds during his battle with the Hulk. Pataky played the role of Wolf Woman in Thor: Love and Thunder.
