Chris Hemsworth has said that while he is interested, his future as Thor at Marvel Studios could be uncertain as the hype is waning.
In an interview last December on Australian television show The Today Show, Chris Hemsworth hinted that his time as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be nearing its end, as “the hype may be waning.” (Minute 4:20).

Waiting for the premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder, we wonder when Hemsworth’s stage will end giving life to the God of Thunder. He is one of the three original Avengers still within the MCU. Of the six that started this movie universe, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) have retired, and only Thor himself remains active, with Hulk ( Mark Ruffalo) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), the latter apparently already passing the baton to a younger generation played by Kate Bishop.
In the interview, Hemsworth admitted that while he will continue to play the role for as long as Marvel requires, fan enthusiasm for his character’s future may be on the wane. The host told him that Tom Holland has signed on for more Spider-Man movies and asked if he was going to sign on for more Thor movies. Chris laughed and replied, “How many Spider-Man has he done? [Tom Holland]? He’s a little behind me. I think he’s done three, I’ve done six or seven Thors, so maybe. As long as they have me, I’ll show up, but I feel like that kind of enthusiasm may be waning.”
The Australian has played the God of Thunder in Thor (2011), Avengers (2012), Thor: The Dark World (2013), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Doctor Strange (2016), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019) and this 2022 will return with Thor: Love and Thunder.
