Once again the cast of Thor: Ragnarok have proven that filming a Marvel movie is more fun than your average day job.

After recently crashing Tom Hiddleston's TV Choice Award acceptance speech, Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba (and Tom Hiddleston) have recorded a promotional video, giving a cheeky shout-out to a small-fry film festival held in town of Byron Bay, Australia.

The film festival, held in the hippy-cum-hipster holiday hot spot, is celebrating its tenth year, you see. Hemsworth looks to have pulled in a favour or two from his Thor: Ragnarok co-stars to throw together the short promo video for the event.

The always-energetic Hemsworth even goes so far as to attest that Byron Bay Film Festival is the best in the world, though Hiddleston wasn't quite as convinced.

Byron Bay Film Festival runs for 10 days from Friday 10th October to Sunday 23rd October. Hey, if it's good enough for a Hemsworth, it's good enough for us.
