Idle speculation!

This is just my idle speculation and probably means nothing, except for me to 'stop procrastinating and get back to work'.

However you may have seen a photo doing the rounds at the moment, taken by Luke Hemsworth of himself, Chris and friends. In the photo Chris has obviously ramped up the workouts and has a pronounced very dark sculptured beard.

So this is where the speculation happens. Thor doesn't start filming until about June, and he has mentioned that because of muscle memory it only takes about 3 months to get back to Thor size (if he's coming off his previous normal size). Therefore bulking up in January doesn't make sense. Also of course he can grow a beard anytime he wants but this isn't a Thor beard, as I mentioned it's dark and very sculptured. He has also mentioned that he might be able to slot a role in before shooting Thor 3. So is he currently getting ready for a new role that hasn't been announced??
