The Marvel movie star, better known by some for his role as God of Thunder, Thor, Mr Hemsworth has seen Cowra Tourism's "Get Chris To Cowra" campaign and says he would love to visit the town and region.
The Avenger shared Cowra Tourism's now viral video on his Instagram on Monday with the caption highlighting the difficulty COVID-19 has had on regional and rural tourism.
"Big love to all the folks in Cowra for this amazing campaign, warmed my heart and made me smile," Mr Hemsworth said in the post.
"I'm off shooting a film overseas soon but upon return next year I'm comin [sic] in hot!!
"Like many regional towns around Australia, Cowra has suffered from a lack of tourism due to COVID-19 pandemic.
So when things open up be sure to check out all the amazing places Australia has to offer.

"So when things open up be sure to check out all the amazing places Australia has to offer!"
The idea to have the Thor fly in with the Mjolnir was a top secret project over the last few months for Cowra Tourism, who produced a three minute, 41 second video encouraging the Hollywood heartthrob, often based in Bryon Bay, to visit the Lachlan Valley town.
The video was released on October 12, and has since been viewed over 6,500 times, with viewers enamoured with what Cowra has to offer.
Tourism also encouraged residents to get involved by sharing the hashtag #GetChrisToCowra and visiting the website www.getchristocowra.com.au or Facebook page www.facebook.com/GetChrisToCowra/
The result has seen Mr Hemsworth appearing (albeit photoshopped) at a number of businesses and locations around town.
The campaign even snagged an appearance on the TODAY show.
