Chris Hemsworth left fans confused as he made his debut in the trailer for the new Mad Max movie.
The former Thor star appears as warlord Dementus in the movie, which will follow the origins of Imperator Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy. The role was previously played by Charlize Theron in the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road.
The 40-year-old appears with long, scraggly shoulder-length hair, a long bushy beard and a huge moustache in the film. In a strange turn of events, Chris also wears a prosthetic nose, leaving him completely unrecognisable from his usual self.

Mad Max is a post-apocalyptic action film series created by George Miller and Byron Kennedy. The story takes place in a desolate Australian wasteland where society is on the brink of war due to a global oil crisis.
The first three movies - Mad Max (1979), Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) - were led by Mel Gibson, before Tom Hardy became the protagonist, Max, in the 2015 film.

The movie's synopsis reads: "As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus.
"Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home."
