Culture news “A parody” This Marvel actor admits that his latest film is a total failure!
This fourth episode of the Marvel saga is not as good as it should have been. This actor regrets having given such a performance which was too parodic according to him. He is afraid of not having lived up to the character.
With 8 films to his credit where he plays Thor, actor Chris Hemsworth should know the character by heart. But even if he has been playing it since 2011, there remain some difficulties according to him, more particularly in relation to the fourth opus of his role: Thor Love and Thunder. He would have relied too much on his achievements and would no longer take responsibility for his performance in the film.

Does he have Thor?
It is in a portrait granted to Vanity Fairan American magazine, that the actor speaks about his family life and his professional life. He talks about his children, his future film “Furiosa”, but also about his performance in the film Thor of 2022.
Sometimes I felt like a security guard for the team. I was reading everyone’s lines and going, “Oh, they have way cooler stuff. They’re having more fun.” (…) Yes, I am part of this big project, but I am probably replaceable.
Some might say that Chris Hemsworth is too hard on himself and they would be right. In the same interview, Robert Downey Jr. defends himself and testifies to boost the morale of the Australian actor.
First of all, Thor as a character was very difficult to adapt, but he and Kenneth Branagh figured out how to transcend him, make him somehow accessible but divine. Hemsworth has, in my opinion, the most complex psyche of all the Avengers. He has wit and seriousness, but also such restraint. It has both fire and gentleness.
Proof of a beautiful friendship, but above all proof of the difficulty of interpreting the God of Thunder! The character has evolved a lot over time. Whether we’re talking about comics or films, Thor is not easy to use in a story. Despite this difficulty of adaptation and the actor’s rather negative outlook, we must not forget that Thor Love and Thunder grossed $760.9 million, or approximately three times what it cost.
The following ?
We know that Thor will soon return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Chris Hemsworth will be back on our screens much sooner. Indeed, “Furiosa” arrives at the end of this month. Scheduled for May 22, the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel will see the Norse God play an antagonist for the first time in his career. The film will tell the past of Furiosa, a character already present in the other films in the saga.
