'Ghostbusters' Reboot Movie Featurette Revolves Around Chris Hemsworth's "Ken Doll" Role

Best known for playing Marvel's Thor, Chris Hemsworth has been choosing a series of fairly projects outside the franchise that made him famous, tapping different dramas -- but he might be a comedy genius and we didn't know it. In a new featurette from the Ghostbusters 2016 movie reboot, the cast discusses his role as secretary Kevin, who's apparently a real-life "Ken doll."

According to io9 Gizmodo, the new featurette was released on the unofficial Administrative Professionals Day holiday, highlighting the non-Ghostbuster main character from the movie; the adorable but dumb secretary.

While a lot has been said about the four female leads from the Ghostbusters reboot (three of which have been involved with Saturday Night Live currently or were part of the cast at some point), Hemsworth's character, who is something of a male bimbo secretary, hasn't been talked about too much. The new featurette, however, changes things up at last. It seems we're getting a lot of fun from the Avenger!

Hemsworth describes his character as a "big, dumb, puppy dog" while co-star Kate McKinnon calls him a "Ken doll with the insides scooped out."

"He has no idea what they do. Kevin thinks he's going to become a Ghostbuster," Hemsworth explains on the clip, via Blastr. "He takes ahold of the equipment, gets a bike, builds his own uniform and says, 'Look, I'm one of the gang now."

As ridiculously handsome as he is, Hemsworth (and his brother Liam) could have it made by just showing up, but the Australian star isn't letting things go by that easily. The cast and crew agree he's actually a great addition to the team. Director Paul Feig calls the 32-year-old a "huge comedic talent" and his hilarious co-star Leslie Jones says it's "not fair" that he can be "this sweet, this funny, this fine."

The Ghostbusters reboot, which also stars Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, will premiere on July 15.
