‘I became a parody of myself’: Chris Hemsworth regrets this Marvel movie

Thor: Love and Thunder received mixed reviews from fans. The continuation of the saga dedicated to the god of thunder, in fact, further expanded the strange and comic tone of Thor: Ragnarok, albeit without conviction. Thus, in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Chris Hemsworth expressed his regrets about this direction of the film and explained the points where, in his opinion, the project went wrong. “I fell into improvisation and madness and became a parody of myself“, he said. “I did not make a successful landing.“

The actor also expressed frustration and dissatisfaction with the character he played in eight Marvel movies between 2011 and 2022.Sometimes I felt like I was protecting the team.he explained. “I was reading everyone’s lines and I was like, ‘Oh, they’ve got some cooler stuff. They have more fun.“

“What does my character do? It was always, “You’re wearing a wig. you have muscles You have a suit. where are the lights“, he added.Yes, I’m part of this big project, but I’m probably pretty replaceable.“

Robert Downey Jr. disagrees

However, his co-star Robert Downey Jr. wanted to talk about it as well, and the Iron Man translator just doesn’t agree.

“First of all, Thor as a character was very difficult to adapt – a lot of implicit limitations – but he and Ken Branagh figured out how to overcome that, somehow making him approachable yet god-like.– he told Vanity Fair. “Hemsworth, in my opinion, has the most complex psyche among the Avengers. He has wit and seriousness, but also such restraint, fire and calmness.”
Chris Hemsworth Soon to be found in Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga, a prequel to Fury Road (2015), a new adventure for the actor, who said it was a welcome change of pace after Netflix’s intense Tyler Rake 2. “Once I got to the rehearsals, everything went well. I just found myself revitalized. Suffering aimlessly is terrible“, he added. “Purposeful suffering can be rejuvenating and restorative. I’m so fed up with myself and now I have to lose myself in character.“

Considering his next role after this role, Chris Hemsworth told the publication that he thought he “After Love and Thunder, the community owed another Torah.“”One side of my brain is saying, “Oh, you’ve waited too long, and now the train has passed.”“, he said. “The most rational mind says: You also turned down a lot of things, big action movies for which there was no solid script.”
While waiting to find Thor, Chris Hemsworth finds himself in Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga, which hits theaters on May 22, 2024. The Thor Saga is available to stream on Disney+.
