According to The Daily Telegraph, Elsa, who is a horse lover, has urged Interceptor creator Matthew Reilly to write in ‘riding scenes’ for the sequel.

The Spanish actress, 45, is the wife of Chris Hemsworth and played the part of an Army officer in Interceptor.

In the highly physical role, her character fought off a group of terrorists who attempted to over-run a facility designed to shoot down missiles in the event of a nuclear strike.

Elsa, who lives in Byron Bay and shares three children with the Thor star, said the Interceptor sequel needs ‘scenes with horses’.

In January, she will act as show jumping ambassador at the Magic Millions race day and carnival on the Gold Coast.

Despite the hammering from arm-chair critics, Interceptor was a huge hit for Netflix.

According to the streamer, the film, directed by best-selling author Matthew Reilly clocked up over 35 million viewing hours across dozens of countries, only days after it was released.

But many viewers were left unimpressed, with one fan tweeting, ‘If you haven’t watched it yet. Don’t. That’s the review.’
