Have you ever wanted to see a photo of the sometime-God Of Thunder on horseback? Well, this exclusive new look at Chris Hemsworth in new war film 12 Strong: The Declassified True Story Of The Horse Soldiers –
plucked from the pages of the brand new issue of Empire, on sale now – offers just that. Take a look below.
12 Strong tells the true story of a small band of American soldiers in Afghanistan joining forces with local Afghan troops to fight the Taliban on horseback, navigating the unforgiving terrain with WWI-era tactics. To prepare, Hemsworth, who plays Captain Mitch Nelson, took the chance to quiz some of the US soldiers who were there. “You’re hanging on to every word they say,” he tells Empire in the new issue, “because half your brain is thinking, ‘That couldn’t have happened,’ and the second half is immediately thinking, ‘How do we put that in the film?’”
Hemsworth is joined in the cast by Michael Peña, Michael Shannon and Moonlight’s Trevante Rhodes. Nicolai Fuglsig is directing. 12 Strong arrives in cinemas next year.
