Chris Hemsworth recently opened up about his experience playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in an interview with Vanity Fair. After the release of “Thor: Love and Thunder” in 2022, Hemsworth admitted that he felt the film was “too silly” and that he had “become a parody” of himself. Despite his frustration with the character, Hemsworth acknowledged the impact Thor had on his career, turning him into a Hollywood action star.
Looking ahead, Hemsworth expressed his desire to step outside of the action genre and work with acclaimed filmmakers on more dramatic projects. He shared his excitement about playing the villain role in George Miller’s upcoming “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel film, “Furiosa,” describing it as his favorite role since “Rush” in 2013.
The actor also revealed that filming “Furiosa” reignited his passion for acting after feeling burnt out from the non-stop pace of his career. While Hemsworth is uncertain about returning as Thor in future Marvel films, he emphasized the importance of keeping the character fresh and unpredictable for audiences.
“Furiosa” is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival before its theatrical release on May 24, offering fans a chance to see a different side of Hemsworth on the big screen. For more details on his journey and upcoming projects, you can read the full cover story on Vanity Fair’s website.
