Chris Hemsworth is staying agile and explosive while on set for Extraction 3. In an October 7 Instagram post, the 43-year-old showed off his intense kickboxing pad work in Thailand.
For years, Hemsworth has remained in tremendous shape. His superhero physique helped him land several blockbuster movie roles, including the Extraction franchise, Thor, The Avengers, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Always on the go, Hemsworth has prioritized his fitness and health despite his busy acting schedule. He’ll train anywhere; fans have spotted him working out in Kenya, Africa; others have seen him tackle a no-equipment session in the middle of the ocean.
To realistically portray these roles, his regimen has also required significant strength and endurance training. The Marvel superstar still finds a way to sweat when he’s short on time. He showcased a 20-minute upper body workout that he’s credited with helping him stay fit, functional, and athletic.
Hemsworth is set to play Tyler Rake, a black ops mercenary. From hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, and stunts, the role demands his full attention. Though shooting for the movie is well underway, the Australian superstar gave fans a sneak peek into some of the drills keeping him sharp for the big screen.

Hemsworth has invited high-profile YouTubers to join him for training. He recently linked up with MrBeast for a full-body workout with the sole mission of burning extra calories. During the collaboration, Hemsworth revealed that he typically trains one hour a day and focuses on intensity.
Beyond Hemsworth, fellow Australian star Hugh Jackman also strength trains consistently. He surprised his fans with a weighted-chain workout at 57, led by his personal trainer, Beth Lewis.
“Best to stay fit. Rather than chase it. I remind myself of this every time Beth wants another set,” shared Hugh Jackman.
Hemsworth shows that squeezing in an intense workout is possible even on set for movies. As of this writing, Netflix has not announced the official release date for Extraction 3.
