Chris Hemsworth's 'Thor: Love and Thunder' to be his last outing as MCU hero? Actor reacts

As fans await the release of MCU's Thor: Love and Thunder with much anticipation, its lead actor, Chris Hemsworth recently spilled beans on his future as the God of Thunder. The Taika

Waititi directorial, which serves as the sequel to 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, will witness Hemsworth's superhero locking horns with Gorr: The God Butcher as the latter seeks to eliminate all

Gods. During Wired’s auto-complete interview, Hemsworth was asked about the trajectory of his character from here on, with the actor's response hinting that it might be his last outing. 

Talking about his last Marvel outing, the superstar stated, "Well the last I shot was Thor: Love and Thunder and it might be my last Marvel movie, I don't know. It was a wild and fun and

wacky experience, as all Taika Waititi movies are.”

He further added that his decade-long stint as the superhero always came with 'new and exciting' additions and the upcoming film will be no exception. "It felt very fresh and it felt like we

were trying something we hadn't tried before. I was, in Taika's words, I think a wacky, wild, romantic comedy set in space,” he said. 

However, even though the actor has been quite skeptical about his future associations, recently on Thor 4's premiere, the actor confessed his love for the role and said, “I'll do it until

someone says get off the stage," on being asked about the future of his character in the MCU. He also added, "I love [playing Thor]."

Thor: Love and Thunder also has Natalie Portman's character assuming the mantle of the mighty Thor as she appeared in a similar costume and possessed powers like that of Chris' eponymous

hero. Other cast members include Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Taika Waititi and Russell Crowe among others. The film is slated to premiere in Los Angeles on June 23,

2022, post which, it will witness a theatrical release in the US on July 8. 

Apart from Chris Hemsworth's appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actor has also starred in projects like Snow White and the Huntsman, Rush, Men in Black: International, and

Extraction among others. His recent release was Netflix's Spiderhead.
