Whereas the Marvel Cinematic Universe is barreling towards a significant franchise turning level with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, followers have a variety of questions on the place the films and their favourite characters is perhaps going. Chris Hemsworth lately gave followers a scare with what many thought was a farewell to his days as Thor. I might personally been questioning about what it meant and, lastly, the actor clarified his intent with that clip.
Again in Could, Chris Hemsworth posted a video celebrating the legacy of Thor within the MCU. Contemplating it got here just some weeks after Hemsworth was formally confirmed as a part of the Avengers: Doomsday solid, many questioned if the video indicated that the upcoming Marvel film can be his final time wielding the hammer. Hemsworth lately spoke with THR and clarified the state of affairs, saying…
I had just a few folks ask me about it, and somebody on my group stated, ‘Ugh, we’ve given the unsuitable impression right here.’ We didn’t do any [damage control]; there was no injury management mandatory. However quite a bit was learn into a bit. I used to be [already] off beginning one other chapter of this character, and this journey has been the most important a part of my profession. So [the video] was a second of gratitude, and it wasn’t anything. But it surely positively acquired misconstrued and perceived otherwise.
Hemsworth’s video definitely acquired followers speaking. Some questioned if he was merely saying goodbye to Thor then and there. Others, understanding about his Avengers: Doomsday casting, appeared to be getting ready for Thor to be killed off within the film or in any other case see the story attain some form of ending.
Whereas the Australian actor says there was no want for “injury management,” it’s nonetheless good to listen to him make clear his thought course of behind the video. No matter else Chris Hemsworth does in his profession, it’s tough to think about he’ll ever do something that will probably be fairly as huge as Thor. With that, I believe his resolution to honor the character is a worthy endeavor.
Additionally, definitely after we see Thor in Doomsday, he’ll be a really completely different form of character than he was within the final Avengers film. Whereas 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder wasn’t as well-received as its predecessor, it was a significant turning level for Thor as a personality. Evidently was at play in posting the video, because it celebrated the primary chapter of Thor, with a brand new one on the horizon.
After all, we nonetheless can’t solely low cost the chance that Thor’s days could also be numbered. He’s one of many few unique Avengers nonetheless kicking round within the MCU. If a lot of the Asgardian warrior’s days are behind him, I wouldn’t precisely be shocked. With the information that Avengers: Secret Wars will perform as some form of MCU reboot, it’s tough to know simply which characters will make it to the opposite facet, and which of them will probably be performed by the identical actors, as recasting Marvel heroes is completely on the desk.
That is nonetheless a bit methods off, although, and followers can nonetheless sit up for seeing Chris Hemsworth as Thor, on the very least, in Avengers: Doomsday, which hits theaters on December 18, 2026. Within the meantime, stream the God of Thunder’s numerous film appearances utilizing a Disney+ subscription.
