NEED TO KNOW

• Chris Hemsworth said he’s “taken lots of weapons” from his movies at the premiere of his latest film, Crime 101
• “I did Snow White and the Huntsman and I took the axe,” he shared
• Hemsworth will also reprise his role as Thor in Avengers: Doomsday on Dec. 18

Chris Hemsworth is revealing the props he's taken from his movie sets over the course of his career.

"I mean, sneakily or not so sneakily, I’ve taken a lot of weapons," Hemsworth, 42, told reporters at the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie Crime 101 on Tuesday, Feb. 10. "I did Snow White and the Huntsman and I took the axe. With Thor, I’ve taken hammers and I took Stormbreaker, and I wanted to steal the '69 Camaro but the steering wheel is on the wrong side if I took it back to Australia."

Hemsworth is best known for portraying superhero Thor across the Marvel Cinematic Universe dating back to the character's introduction in a 2011 solo movie. Thor typically wields a hammer named Mjolnir in the movies; the character upgrades for the battle axe Stormbreaker, as Hemsworth noted, in 2018's Avengers: Infinity War and has wielded the weapon in each of his MCU film appearances since then.

As the Australian star nodded to on the red carpet, he drives a 1969 Camaro in Crime 101, a heist thriller in which Hemsworth portrays an L.A.-based jewel thief "whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police," per an official synopsis for the movie.

"When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads," Crime 101's synopsis adds. "Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realization that there can be no turning back."

Hemsworth additionally told reporters that "it feels wonderful" to step out of his long-running role as Thor for a change of pace with the heist film. "Yeah, I was looking for something different. And the character was unexpected, and this is a creative sort of venture, something that would ignite a different experience, and this did that and more with this incredible cast."
