In the vast realm of Marvel Comics and among the plethora of enticing and intriguing characters, Thor, theGod of Thunder, occupies a separate place and fan base. Known for his larger-than-life, regal personality, the comic version vastly differs from Chris Hemsworth’s Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Fans have for years pointed out how the MCU took away the gravitas and depth of Thor by making him morehumaneandhumorous,almost as if he was a parody of the comic book character. Hemsworth, in a newvulnerableand prettyintimateinterview, revealed how he felt the same way about Thor.
Chris Hemsworth States He Feels Replaceable As Thor
While fans might not like the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Thor, many of them would agree thatChris Hemsworthas Thor is one of the best casting decisions that Marvel Studios has ever made. From his looks to Hemsworth’s personality, the actor feels prettyworthyto play a character as grand as the Norse God of Thunder.

Yet, fans and critics have often disliked how Marvel chose tobelittlethe character by making him less Godly and more humane. Depicted as this emotional, vulnerable, and quirky character, Thor, despite having a strong sense of honor and duty, feels more like a parody imprint of the character rather than the cosmic entity he is.
And even Hemsworth feels the same way, as he revealed inVanity Fair‘s latest cover story.
“Sometimes I felt like a security guard for the team. I would read everyone else’s lines, and go, Oh, they got way cooler stuff. They’re having more fun. What’s my character doing? It was always about, ‘You’ve got the wig on. You’ve got the muscles. You’ve got the costume. Where’s the lighting?’ Yeah, I’m part of this big thing, but I’m probably pretty replaceable.”
Stated the Australian native while talking about his Asgardian character. Yet, the actor revealed he got a bit too carried away while filmingThor: Love & Thunder, a feat thathe still regrets to this day.
Even Marvel Fans Agree With Chris Hemsworth
Marvel fans for a decade and more have been stating how Chris Hemsworth’s Thor needs more gravitas and seriousness. AlthoughTaika Watiti‘sThor: Ragnarok,Infinity War,andEndgamefelt like a step in the right direction,Love & Thunderundid it all in one go.

While Hemsworth regrets losing himself too much in the role, his comments hint thatKevin Feigeis out to step up finally. Hemsworth is theonly original Avenger leftand stated he wants to go back at least once to undo the damage his last appearance did.
And now even Marvel fans have been demanding that Feige should turn the narrative around and let him become the hero he is.
They went comedic with Norse Mythology via the superhero genre. Thor deserves better. ⚒️
Also, he lost me at “wig”

he’s not lying. but that story arch and entrance to wakanda in infinity war makes up for all of that.
He was by far the best character in that movie and it was probably their best one.

Time to turn the narrative around on Thor then. Thor deserves better.

As strong as Thor is, he really didn’t feel like a big part of the Avengers until Infinity War

Not wanting to bean overly self-important, pretentious wanker, Chris Hemsworth hints that he would only come back if his character is valued. While he understands he owes the audience one more go at the character, fans hope that Hemsworth’s next appearance as the Asgardian would be more in line with comics.
Although apotentialThor 5doesn’t seem to be releasing anytime soon, Chris Hemsworth will be next seen as the charming Dr. Dementus inFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga,releasing on August 10, 2025.
