Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky's children are following in the footsteps of their famous parents.

People Magazine has reported that during a recent interview with Kevin McCarthy, Hemsworth revealed two of his children will make their blockbuster debut in his upcoming film, Thor: Love and Thunder.

The star - who shares a daughter India, 10, and twin sons, Tristan and Sasha, 8, with Pataky - said one of his twin boys and his daughter made cameos in the film revealing that his son plays a young version of Thor while his daughter "plays the character of Love".

"It felt like a one-off fun family experience. I don't want them to now go and be child stars and actors. It was just a special experience we all had," added Hemsworth. "They loved it, they had a great time."

The news comes after Hemsworth and Pataky hit the red carpet in Sydney for the premiere of the upcoming film earlier this week and brought along two of their three kids in a rare public outing.

The star's daughter did not attend.

The actor, who has led the Thor franchise from the original film in 2011, smiled as he posed alongside his wife and their sons on the red carpet before the exclusive screening.

Hemsworth, 38, looked dapper in a shining black tuxedo and black shirt, while Pataky looked elegant in a black sequined evening gown, featuring a plunging neckline and cut-outs, and accessorised with gold heels and Bvlgari jewellery.

Waititi, the film's New Zealand-born director, was also at the premiere and dressed up in a striped navy suit and white shirt.

Thor: Love and Thunder is set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, which saw Thor take off with the Guardians of the Galaxy, leaving Valkyrie in charge of New Asgard.
