God of War Ragnarok Director Reveals Why Thor Doesn't Look Like Chris Hemsworth - ComicBook.com
Developer Santa Monica Studio revealed a little over a week ago that its own version of Thor that is slated to appear in the upcoming PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 title God of War Ragnarok will look a bit different than other iterations of the character that we have seen in popular media.Notably, Ragnarok's take on Thor represents an almost night and day difference between the version played by Chris Hemsworth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In short, Williams explained that they wanted to create a version of Thor that was more accurate to Norse mythology.
He went on to say that even though Thor has a bit larger of a gut compared to the MCU version of Thor, this added weight is almost more reflective of real strongmen.
