Chris Hemsworth reveals that Thor sports a CGI eyepatch in Marvel's baddest villain Thanos.

Things have changed a lot for Thor since his last appearance with the Avengers in Age of Ultron. In lost his trusty hammer Mjolnir, he also shed his long blond locks in favor of a more manageable, shorter haircut. During the film's final battle, Thor also had his eye clawed out by Cate Blanchett's Hela. As the trailer revealed, Thor still has the eyepatch in Infinity War. He also doesn't appear to have bathed or shaved in quite awhile.

Speaking to Cinema Blend, Chris Hemsworth revealed some behind-the-scenes details about that new eyepatch of Thor's. Hemsworth explains that the real eyepatch they gave him on-set didn't work. So, the movie resorted to some CGI magic:

It was... yeah, I ed being... with the eyepatch, the story unrolling, 'Yeah, cool, this is interesting.' And then the day that we put the eyepatch on I was like, 'This is ridiculous.' The thing kept falling off, and we didn't have the thing [gestures an eyepatch strap]. So it became a CG eyepatch, which I was stoked about... But I'm happy with that trade [for the wig]. It has its downsides. But the upside is that it's an hour less in hair and makeup without the wig on.

Unlike Avengers 4.

Thor emerged from Ragnarok a harder, tougher character, an interesting development given the film's overall comedic tone. Thor arguably felt out of place in earlier Avengers movies, a little too "comic book" compared to Iron Man and Captain America. That incongruity likely explains why Thor found himself left out of Captain America: Civil War. In essence, Thor went off to be re-made in Thor: Ragnarok. Perhaps this new, gritty version of Thor will blend more seamlessly with his fellow heroes in Avengers: Infinity War.
