Exclusive: The Surprising Condition Chris Hemsworth Demands Before Returning As Thor

Chris Hemsworth has recently hinted that Thor might make a comeback in the MCU, but with a condition attached. Hemsworth has been portraying the Norse god since 2011 in Kenneth Branagh's Thor, and has since appeared in nine MCU movies, as well as lending his voice to two episodes of Marvel Studios' What If…? Although his latest appearance as Thor in Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder could potentially be his final one, Hemsworth seems to be open to reprising the role under certain circumstances.

Hemsworth has previously expressed his reservations about returning as Thor, which he reiterated in an interview with AccionCine. He explained that he is open to reprising the role, but only if the story is unique and something that excites both himself and the audience. Hemsworth wants to avoid playing the same character until the point of exhaustion and believes that a fresh, out-of-the-box approach is necessary. While there is likely an exciting story to tell, it remains to be seen whether or not it will be enough to entice Hemsworth back to the role.

After portraying Thor for over a decade, it's understandable why Hemsworth would want a change of pace. However, the character's development over the years didn't quite provide Hemsworth with the opportunity to experiment and try new things. While Waititi's comedic take on Thor did add some much-needed levity to the franchise, it wasn't a particularly groundbreaking change. With Hemsworth potentially stepping away from the role, the future of the Thor franchise remains uncertain. However, the inclusion of Jane Foster as Thor in Love and Thunder established a precedent for other characters to take on the mantle. As the MCU continues to explore the multiverse, fans can only wait and see if the God of Thunder will make another appearance and in what form.

The Thor movies are available on Disney Plus.
