Chris Hemsworth says it's time for another "drastically different" version of Thor
"I think it would have to be a drastically different version in tone, everything, just for my own sanity," Hemsworth said on a recent podcast appearance

Chris Hemsworth is in press tour mode of late, doing the rounds to promote his current Nat Geo/Disney+ documentary series Limitless. (Which, tragically, is not about what would happen if someone gave Hemsworth that pill.) The ensuing slate of interviews has had revelations both somber and not—including Hemsworth revealing he carries a genetic trait that’s linked to a heightened risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and that he intends to take more time away from work to spend with his family.
But it’s also, naturally, had a whole bunch of Thor talk, including a recent appearance on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused Podcast [h/t Screenrant] in which Hemsworth pretty bluntly stated that he’s done with the more comedic version of the character that appeared in Thor: Ragnarok and this summer’s Thor: Love And Thunder, both directed by Taika Waititi. “I don’t know if I’m even invited back,” Hemsworth hedged, echoing comments he’s made about his uncertainty with the franchise at the moment. (Love And Thunder posted a perfectly respectable $760 million at the global box office, but drew middling notices from both audiences and critics.) “But if I was, I think it would have to be a drastically different version in tone, everything, just for my own sanity…”
As Hemsworth himself notes, the reinvention of Thor has been built into the franchise at this point; it’s not for nothing that both the most brutal, and the most goofy, versions of the character appeared in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, after Ragnarok had already shored up the character’s comedic bona fides.
