Speaking toVanity Fair, Hemsworth shared his take on it. “I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself. I didn’t stick the landing,” he told the publication. It’s not clear yet whether he’ll return for another Thor movie, even though it was teased inLove and Thunder’s post-credits scenes. However, elsewhere in the profile, the writer implies that Hemsworth feels like he owes audiences another one.
Iron Manstar Robert Downey Jr. is also quoted in the profile, and is evidently a big fan of Hemsworth’s performance, calling Thor: Ragnarok,Avengers: Infinity War, andAvengers: Endgame"a formidable hat trick." He added: “Hemsworth is, in my opinion, the most complex psyche out of all us Avengers. He’s got wit and gravitas, but also such restraint, fire, and gentleness.”
Next up for Hemsworth is Furiosa, the prequel toMad Max: Fury Road. In the action film, he’ll play Dementus opposite Anya Taylor-Joy’s Furiosa. He recently shared hispreparation process with Total Film magazinein our extensive cover feature on the movie.
“George suggested to me to journal as the character, which I hadn’t done before,” Hemsworth recalled. “It was 2am one night. I was awake, and I just put pen to paper, and just started scribbling down thoughts and ideas as Dementus. I didn’t think much of it. I went to sleep, and woke up, and was quite shocked at what came out of me in that half-asleep state. I went into rehearsal, and showed George, and we both went, ‘That’s it. That’s the direction we’ve got to go.”
