Chris Hemsworth has agreed to pay Cowra in regional New South Wales a visit after the tourism board launched a massive campaign to get him there.
The Central West town was desperate to nab the Thor actor as their next ambassador after they saw how successful he was at promoting Lord Howe Island.
They set up a brilliant and hilarious video to attract his attention and it looks like it worked.

Cowra Tourism manager Glenn Daley said he got the news he very much didn't expect he would get: Chris is coming.
He told the ABC News: "A little bit of disbelief. I was actually out in the paddock doing some farm stuff, and the assistant manager called and said 'we've got him'!"
Chris has agreed to visit Cowra sometime next year after he's done shooting his next film and the whole town is absolutely buzzing.

To honour the megastar, Glenn suggested they could construct a massive statue dubbed The Big Chris.
Anyone who has gone on a road trip around Australia will know it's full of big things but a 40-metre tall and 10-metre wide construct of an Aussie actor would certainly be a sight to be seen.
"Standing over 40 metres tall, the proposed Big Chris will stand testament to mankind's ingenuity, daring, and engineering skills, and will be a glimmering beacon for international and domestic visitors alike," the website states.
"The Big Chris will be the crown jewel in the rich tapestry of visitor sights and experiences that is Cowra.

Glenn said about the idea: "That's just a bit of fun but I think it's a great concept. I love the idea of having a Big Chris.
"Can you imagine how glorious it would be having a picnic in the shade of his massive guns?
"I definitely imagine there would be far more ladies of the town frequent the Big Chris than the gents."

He added that Chris simply coming to Cowra will be a massive win for the region, which has been one of many struggling from a lack of tourism due to the pandemic.
"It would mean a lot to the town and the region," he said. "Tourism has done it pretty tough over the past couple of years with COVID.
"I think it would give it a real boost to the town and a real boost to the morale of the town too."
I's not yet known exactly when Chris will be visiting but no doubt he will time it perfectly for when the town's canola fields are in full bloom.
