Chris Hemsworth Would Be Open To Another Thor Movie

By Patrick Fitzgerald On Nov 18, 2022

Since Phase Three, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen significant alteration, particularly in terms of the hero roster. Many new faces have appeared on both large and small screens, advancing the franchise toward the future as the old guard fades further and deeper into the past.

Only a few of the original six Avengers are still waging the good fight with Phase Five just around the corner. Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo’s characters Clint “Hawkeye” Barton and Bruce “Hulk” Banner appear to be retiring from their roles as superheroes, based on recent media coverage. The fourth Thor film, “Thor: Love and Thunder,” from filmmaker Taika Waititi, is currently the only fourth film for an original Avenger.

The sequel to “Thor: Ragnarok“ debuted in the summer of 2022, but it wasn’t particularly successful despite reuniting Hemsworth with Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, aka the Mighty Thor, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, and Taika Waititi as Korg against Gorr the God-Butcher (Christian Bale). Although this chapter in the “Thor” saga succeeded reasonably well critically and financially, more people appear to loathe it than like it.

Many have questioned what Thor’s future in the MCU will be in the wake of “Love and Thunder.” While Chris Hemsworth isn’t opposed to playing Thor again, he anticipates that his upcoming performance will be his last.

Hemsworth Seemed Unsure of Thor’s Future in the MCU.

A recent interview between Chris Hemsworth and Vanity Fair included a discussion of his time as Thor. When questioned about whether he would be interested in playing the role in the future, he responded that he wouldn’t mind doing so provided the God of Thunder would be given an intriguing role in the MCU’s ongoing narrative.

“I’m completely open to it if there is something unique and fresh and unexpected to do with the character and the world,” he said, adding that fan demand for more Thor in the MCU is also an important consideration in regard to his potential comeback.

Hemsworth then brought up the length of time he can envision himself continuing to play Thor. Even while he realizes that the conclusion is drawing closer, he still values the run he’s had so far and is eager to explore new creative directions with the part.

As he goes on, “In my opinion, if I ever did it again, we would have to call it a day. I’m not sure if I’ve reached that point yet, but you have the hero’s journey, their life, and finally their death. Nobody knows.”

In light of these remarks, it appears that Hemsworth is preparing for his upcoming portrayal of Thor to be his final, wherever it may occur. We won’t know Thor’s MCU story’s conclusion for some time, but when it does, it will unquestionably be a significant event in the vast Marvel series.
