Chris Hemsworth has been wielding Mj\u00f6lnir in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for fifteen years, outlasting many of his fellow original Avengers as one of the franchise\u2019s most enduring stars. He\u2019s already set to return in Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>, and while it might seem like the perfect opportunity for the God of Thunder to take a final bow, Hemsworth has suggested he\u2019s not ready to step away just yet.<\/p>\n

Hemsworth on More Thor<\/p>\n

While speaking on the SmartLess<\/a> podcast (via The Playlist<\/a>), Hemsworth told co-host Sean Hayes that he still has a \u201ccouple more times\u201d as Thor beyond Avengers: Doomsday. One of those appearances will come in Avengers: Secret Wars, and there\u2019s always the possibility that Marvel could move forward with Thor 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Playing Thor for so long has given Hemsworth the rare chance to explore multiple creative interpretations of the same character across different filmmakers and tones. \u201cIt\u2019s been so much fun,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd what I\u2019ve really enjoyed it\u2014unlike a lot of what the other characters that the [actors] were given, they have had to be pretty consistent\u2014 whereas working with Taika Waititi on his films versus Kenneth Branagh with those films and then with the Russos, all [the films] had quite a different sort of tonal opinion.\u201c<\/p>\n

Hemsworth explained that this variety has kept the role creatively fresh for him over the years, \u201cBut [the Russos] also let me try different things. It\u2019s the same with my tattoos, I\u2019d be getting really bored [with] the same thing and having a real need to kind of throw [the performance] in different directions. I was talking to Kevin Feige about it, and he said it\u2019s cool because the audience now expects dramatic turns with the character. And whatever we do next\u2014we\u2019ve got some ideas to do something pretty unique again and hopefully be [different].\u201c<\/p>\n

Hemsworth Knows Thor: Love and Thunder Went Too Far<\/p>\n

Of course, experimentation can be a double-edged sword. While Thor: Ragnarok successfully reinvented the character with a lighter, comedic tone, its follow-up pushed that approach even further, dividing audiences. Hemsworth acknowledged that the reaction to Thor: Love and Thunder served as a reminder to strike the right balance when evolving a long-running character.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we made \u2018Ragnarok,\u2019 it was quite a twist, with Taika\u2019s [film]. And it was so fun,\u201d he said. \u201cThere was a huge appreciation for the shift. And then [with] \u2018Love And Thunder,\u2019\u00a0it was kind of like a Monty Python sketch, and we took the piss probably a little much, and then there was some backlash. There was this real kind of, \u2018Why is he a goofball and why is it like this?\u2019 And, [audiences] violently offended and we were like, \u2018Oh, we\u2019re just having fun or trying to try something different.\u2019\u201c<\/p>\n

Chris Hemsworth will return in Avengers: Doomsday, which will debut on December 18.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
