To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.
Thor: Love and ThunderCould Be the Last Time We See Chris Hemsworth as the Asgardian Avenger
Thor is the first MCU to feature in four solo outings, and it sounds likeThor 4could be the last time we see Chris Hemsworth in the role. “Well the last [Marvel movie] I shot was ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ and it might be my last Marvel movie, I don’t know,” the actor said recently. “It was a wild and fun and wacky experience, as all Taika Waititi movies are. Played that character for ten, eleven, years now, and each time it’s been new and exciting, and this was no exception to that.”
Hemsworth went on to hype the fresh take on the world ofThorfrom returning directorTaika Waititi, as well as assuring fans that he would come back for more Thor so long as it’s what fans wanted, and so long as the character can continue to be reinvented. “It felt very fresh and it felt like we were trying something we hadn’t tried before,” Hemsworth continued. “I was, in Taika’s words, I think a wacky, wild, romantic comedy set in space… I love playing Thor – played it for many many years and would continue to do so if people wanted me to. The most challenging part of playing Thor is reinventing it each time and not having it be predictable for an audience and having it be something they’ve seen before… And that is a challenge but part of the fun.”
