The actor even cast doubts about playing Thor. He stated a reason that he gets to play the god of thunder is due to his physique but feels that he can be easily replaced. However, Hemsworth’s co-star Robert Downey Jr. had something different to say. He said that in the direction of Taika Waititi, an interesting side of the God of thunder was seen that was never seen before.


In Thor: Ragnarök, director Taika put in some comic relief and brought out a different Thor on screen. This changed the actor’s idea of the character and must have made him see more of the character’s development.

Talking about Chris Hemsworth’s upcoming MCU projects, the actor is rumored to be part of another Avengers movie. He was also seen in a now-viral "Why was Thor crying" scene in Deadpool & Wolverine.
