Chris Hemsworth's reaction to being chosen to play Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have required a leap of faith, but it's a humorous one. In the 2011 movie of the same name, Hemsworth makes his screen debut as the Norse mythical god who was banished to Earth by his father Odin after almost starting a war between Jotunheim and Asgard. Hemsworth has gotten repeated praise from critics for his portrayal of Thor, despite the fact that the Kenneth Branagh-directed movie and character initially received negative reviews.
All four Avengers films as well as the two Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok sequels that were released featured Hemsworth in the title role. Additionally, Hemsworth provided the voice of Thor for the Disney+ What If...? series, which investigated several iterations of the character with sporadic connections to the wider MCU. The much-loved actor is preparing to return in Taika Waititi's Thor: love and Thunder opposite Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman, who previously played Jane and Valkyrie, respectively.
Chris Hemsworth reflected on his time as the MCU's Thor in the most recent instalment of GQ's Iconic Characters series. The Australian actor reflects on his initial feelings, sarcastically recalling his lack of other options at the time and the demands the role placed on him.
