Chris Hemsworth – Thor
Chris last played the godly hero in 2022′s Thor: Love and Thunder. In June 2023, he shared conflicted thoughts about a comeback while speaking to Entertainment Weekly.
“I don’t want to continue to do it until people are so exhausted that they roll their eyes when they see me come on the screen as that character. If an audience wants to see it, and if there’s something that we believe is exciting and fun, then great. I’ve loved being able to reinvent that character a few times. I don’t have the answer yet, but I would love to try and [figure out] how we can do that again and keep it a little unpredictable,” he said.
A few months later director Taika Waititi weighed in on what he’d want to do with a fifth standalone Thor movie.
“What is left to do to him? It’s got to be something that feels like it’s carrying on with the evolution of the character, but still in a very fun way and still giving him things to come up against that feel like they’re building on the obstacles that he has to overcome,” he mused. “I don’t think we can have a villain that’s weaker than Hela. I feel like we need to step up from there and add a villain that’s somehow more formidable.”
Hela, played by Cate Blanchettmade her debut in Ragnarok. Thor faced off against Christian Bale‘s Gorr the God Butcher, another formidable villain, in Love and Thunder.
The director pictures “more and more outlandish and crazy beasts, monsters and aliens.”
He also wants to continue with keeping things lighter: “There’s a fun element to [Thor] and he has a casualness and a sort or swagger about him when he visits these worlds and encounters these aliens that I don’t think you’d get when it’s an earthling traveling through space exploring the universe.”
Thor also made a brief cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
