Then things shifted:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I worked with different directors. Some had a clear handle on who they thought the character was, and some didn\u2019t. Even to their own admission \u2013 I remember Joss Whedon saying it\u2019s a tricky character to write, especially once he\u2019s acquired that strength. It was really around working with Taika [Waititi] where I was kind of sick of what I\u2019d been doing, and he was like, \u2018Yeah, so am I. Let\u2019s explore a different space.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waititi brought \u201cunpredictability\u201d to Thor which worked to great effect with \u201cThor: Ragnarok,\u201d but not so much with \u201cThor: Love and Thunder\u201d.  Explaining where things are now with his character, he says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the more recent films since then, I felt like the character had earned his seat at the table. Before that, I felt like the new guy. I remember sitting around on Doomsday with all these new characters, people in their first Avengers film, and thinking, \u2018I have a bit of agency here. I should have a bigger voice or opinion as the character.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Owning that a little more, he does feel like one of the elders. He\u2019s 2,000 years old or something, so we tried to play into that more than we had before. You reach a point in life where there\u2019s an exhaustion and weariness, and we really leaned into that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thor is expected to be a major character not in just \u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d but the \u201cAvengers: Secret Wars\u201d film (or films), all of which will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.  \u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d opens in cinemas in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marvel Chris Hemsworth is one of the elder statesmen of the upcoming \u201cAvengers: Doomsday,\u201d the Australian actor having&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412567,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[94966,96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-412566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
