Elsa Pataky, the spouse of Chris Hemsworth, unexpectedly appears in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, playing not one, but two different roles.

The film is a dystopian action movie starring Hemsworth, 40, and Anya Taylor-Joy. Pataky, a talented performer in her own right, plays two very different parts. Her first role is that of Vuvalini General, a resolute leader who goes out of his way to save Furiosa (Taylor-Joy), who has been abducted from the “Green Place of Many Mothers.” In Pataky’s second appearance, she assumes the evil persona of Mr. Norton, a menacing comrade of the biker gang lead by Hemsworth’s Dementus. Pataky, 47, is almost unrecognizable as Mr. Norton, with yellowed teeth, facial scars, and a weathered skin. In a moment where Dementus has a captive Furiosa watch as his followers torture a man, she appears, according to Entertainment Weekly, which released images of Pataky’s remarkable dual roles

Three children together are Hemsworth and Pataky’s 12-year-old daughter India and their 10-year-old twin sons, Tristan and Sasha. The couple was married in late 2010. Although the actress from Thor is Australian, Pataky is originally from Spain, where she starred in a number of movies before launching as Elena Neves in the Fast & Furious trilogy. In Hemsworth’s Marvel blockbuster Thor: Love and Thunder, she too had a small role.

Celebrating Milestones: Hemsworth and Pataky Mark Career Achievements with Family

Pataky accompanied Hemsworth in Hollywood last week when he was awarded a star on the Walk of Fame. Alongside their twins, they celebrated this important turning point in Hemsworth’s career by posing for the picture. Hemsworth said to E! News earlier this month that he and Pataky were able to spend quality time together away from their regular family duties while filming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. At the international premiere of Furiosa on Wednesday, May 15, at the Cannes Film Festival, Hemsworth remarked, “It’s kind of like date night for us.” “We get some alone time when we go to work together.”

Hemsworth honored his wife on Instagram in July with a sincere post on her 47th birthday. He posted a number of images and videos from the celebration, which featured three cakes. He wrote, “Happy birthday to my crime-fighting partner, love you forever, here’s to many more 😘😘😘 @elsapataky,” as the post’s caption.

Not only does Pataky’s surprising cameo in Furiosa demonstrate her ability as an actress, but it also emphasizes the couple’s strong bond—both personal and professional. Pataky gives compelling performances in both her heroic and psychotic roles, elevating her unexpected cameos to a noteworthy high point. Because of their cooperation on this much awaited Mad Max movie, the two will have a special chance to spend precious time together in between their hectic work schedules. Their connection off-screen and their shared screen time highlight their dynamic relationship as a couple and as working actors.
