Chris Hemsworth shows off his ripped physique as he strips off for intense boxing session while preparing for next Avengers role

Chris Hemsworth is proving once again that he's more than worthy of wielding Thor's mighty hammer.

Clad in just a pair of black shorts and gold training shoes, the Marvel star threw a flurry of powerful punches at a heavy teardrop bag attached to an outdoor home gym setup. The video, set against the lush greenery of his Byron Bay estate, shows Chris' sculpted physique in full display as he delivers quick jabs and hooks with flawless precision - his red boxing gloves a blur with the force and speed of his strikes. While Hemsworth hasn't officially confirmed his return as Thor for the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars instalment, fans were quick to speculate that the post was a not-so-subtle hint that the God of Thunder will be back on the big screen.
