Elsa Pataky has shared a gallery of loved-up snaps with her husband Chris Hemsworth on the set of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
The Spanish actress, 47, took to Instagram on Saturday to reflect on her time filming for the Mad Max prequel as she revealed her role in the blockbuster.
Elsa, who had two small roles in the film, shared an array of snaps of herself and Chris looking almost unrecognisable while sporting their apocalyptic costumes.
Elsa was seen with a huge scar across her lip and staples on her head as she played a biker gang member while Chris, who starred as villain Dr Dementus, sported a huge beard and long grey hair.
The Thor actor looked very different with a prosthetic nose and crooked teeth, while he also had bloody gashes across his face as he got into character as the warlord.

The couple looked as loved-up as ever as Chris posed with his arms around his wife of 14 years as she sat on a motorbike decked out in full biking leathers.
She also shared another picture of herself grinning at her husband as they both sat in front of a green screen as she gave an insight into the filming process.
Elsa also posted a snap of herself with leading star Anya Taylor-Joy, who starred as the titular character Imperator Furiosa, originally played by Charlize Theron.
Model Elsa had two small cameos in the film, first as Vuvalini General, who helps Furiosa’s mother Mary Jabassa (Charlee Fraser) go after her young daughter when she is kidnapped.
She later played a strikingly different character as she reappeared as Mr. Norton, a member of the evil biker gang led by Dementus (Chris).

Chris recently gave an insight into what it was like filming with his wife Elsa, describing it as like a ‘date’ because they had time away from their kids.
‘It’s kinda like date night for us because we have three kids,’ he told E! News during Cannes Film Festival. ‘Going to work together is when we get some alone time.’
Chris and Elsa, who tied the knot in 2010, share daughter India, 12, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 10.
Furiosa tells the origin story of a young Imperator Furiosa and was told over a 15-year period – much different from Fury Road, which spanned three days in its timeframe.

The latest Mad Max epic was filmed in New South Wales in 2022 and was expected to become the biggest movie ever to be made in Australia.
However, the prequel is fighting to break even on its USD $168million (AUD $251million) budget, despite a huge marketing campaign.
Furiosa managed to top the box office with an estimated USD $25.5million, via Deadline, with The Garfield Movie just behind at USD $24.8million.
But it was the lowest Memorial Day weekend at the box office in 29 years, since Casper topped the box office in late May 1995 with USD $22million, not counting the 2020 box office when theatres were closed due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

There is a long road ahead for the film, which has a lofty production budget of USD $168million, not counting publicity and advertising.
Many box office analysts had projected a debut for Furiosa in the USD $40million to USD $50million range, but, much like competing movie The Fall Guy, it fell well under expectations.
Australian audiences also failed to show up to see the apocalyptic thriller, with box office website Numero reporting it earned just AUD $3.3million on its opening weekend.
