Chris Hemsworth has shown that Thor isn’t going to retire after the upcoming team-up movie. Because Avengers: Doomsday is coming out in December, Hemsworth shared on the SmartLess podcast that Kevin Feige – who is in charge of the movies – said it’s okay to keep going with strong, serious changes for the God of Thunder. More Thor films of his own are to be expected after Doomsday.
Hemsworth on What’s Next for Thor
Hemsworth stated that people now want to see character changes that aren’t what you’d think, and this lets the people making the films try things that could be risky. He described his talks with the head of the franchise as good, and added that the writers and directors ‘have a few ideas to do something really different, once more.’ The actor presented the future as open and full of creativity. Hemsworth will be in Avengers: Doomsday, and in the preview is on his knees praying to his deceased father, Odin. The short clip points to a touching element: Thor begging for his daughter Love – played by Hemsworth’s actual daughter, India – to be safe. This private moment shows a character who is still developing.
How Different Directors Changed Thor’s Style
Hemsworth gave credit to the different directors for letting him try out different versions of Thor. He compared the traditional method of Kenneth Branagh with Taika Waititi’s cheeky approach and the Russos’ grand style. Each director brought a separate feel to the film, and gave Hemsworth space to remake the role. Hemsworth also understood the negative reactions that came with the shifts in tone. He said Ragnarok’s change was liked, but Love and Thunder used a lot of joke-like comedy that some in the audience thought was too much. Even so, he defended trying new things, saying that pushing limits is a part of keeping a long-lived character new.
How Avengers: Doomsday Could Bring Back the Thor Films
Avengers: Doomsday brings together people we know and new people in a huge event, and makes an opportunity to start new, individual storylines again. Large group films can change what is at stake, and highlight characters who require a new path. For Thor, a big return could give energy to darker, more personal stories or totally different types of films. A lot of actors also means ideas can be shared: characters in lesser roles can get their own films, and story lines from Doomsday could start future Thor films. Hemsworth’s statements show that the people making the films are already thinking about how to change the character, while also respecting what he has done in the movies so far.
What Future Thor Films on Their Own Might Be Like
Expect a mix. Hemsworth has said he likes switching between trying new things with the tone, and that could mean future Thor movies look at different types of stories – mythic drama, action-filled adventures, or realistic family stories about being a father. Love being in the films shows a more personal emotional center for the stories that are coming. Writers might use the idea of multiple universes, different time lines, or more adult issues that people now want to see. Hemsworth being willing to change his appearance and how he acts suggests that new Thor films will be less predictable and more brave.
A Changeable Future for the God of Thunder
Chris Hemsworth isn’t done being Thor, and he seems willing to keep making the character new. With Avengers: Doomsday about to be in cinemas, and the head of the franchise apparently supporting risky, dramatic changes, everything is ready for single films that want to be surprising. Viewers should watch December’s event for hints about what is to come.
