Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo are no strangers to sharing the screen, having previously starred together in Marvel films such as Thor and Hulk.
Now the pair have reunited for a very different type of film.
They are starring alongside each other in Crime 101, a tense thriller that swaps superhero spectacle for a game of psychological cat and mouse.
Speaking at the premiere, Hemsworth told the BBC that their long-standing friendship brought both energy and challenges to the set.
“The two of us get together and we’re like a couple of naughty kids at school that need to be wrangled to be focused,” he said.
In the film, Hemsworth plays an elusive jewel thief planning one final heist, while Ruffalo stars as a determined detective intent on catching him.
While the pair are well known for their comedic chemistry, Crime 101 marks a shift into darker territory.
“We have a familiarity in the comedic space,” Hemsworth said. “This is a dramatic film so it was quite an adjustment and discomfort at first.”
