When Thor: Ragnarok hit theaters in 2017, one of the most pleasant surprises of the film was the chemistry on display between Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie), who was making her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. The two paired on-screen perfectly, making for a hilarious duo in the film. Thus, when it was announced that they would reunite to star in Men in Black: International, it was hard to look at it as anything but good news.
Now, with the movie available now on digital release and headed to 4K and Blu-ray on September 3, a little light is being shed on the reunion. "It was great to not have to, sort of, work on the chemistry and find that rhythm," Hemsworth explained in a home release featurette, debuting exclusively on GameSpot. "We came off of Thor 3 and Avengers [Endgame], straight into this and picked up where we left off."

Now Playing: Men in Black: International - New Recruits, Classic Suits - Chemistry
For Thompson, though, it was less about continuing the chemistry from Ragnarok and more about looking for something new. "We're constantly trying to figure out how is this dynamic different," she said. "What can we bring?"
What they brought, it seems, is a fair amount of improvised dialogue. "I think the best parts of our performance has been when [director F.] Gary [Gray] gives us our take at the end of each sort of setup," Hemsworth admitted. "We get to rub the edges off of it and improvise."
As for whether the improvised dialogue and working relationship between the pair make a good movie, that's debatable. In his review, GameSpot's Chris E. Hayner called Men in Black: International "a predictable, cliched, and plodding affair that somehow loses the charm of both the franchise and the chemistry we all know exists between Hemsworth and Thompson."
