Chris Hemsworth, who has portrayed Thor since 2011, recently provided an update on his character’s storyline after the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday release. The actor discussed what lies ahead for the God of Thunder and touched on the potential for a fifth Thor film during a recent interview.
Marvel Studios Weighs Options for Thor’s Role Post-Avengers 5
In an interview with the BBC, Hemsworth explained that Marvel Studios is still determining where Thor fits in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Avengers 5. He admitted that the future of the character remains uncertain and that plans for Thor 5 have not yet been finalized.
“I don’t know. We’ll see where this one goes,”
Hemsworth shared about Thor’s future in Marvel following Doomsday. He added,
“We are unpacking that as we speak, and figuring out where each of these characters goes. I’m just thankful for being involved with this one at Marvel, back together with a lot of the old cast, and then the new cast. It’s something I certainly love. We’ll see what happens.”
Speculation Surrounds Thor’s Fate Amid Ongoing Marvel Plans
These remarks come amid widespread speculation about Thor’s fate, with rumors suggesting the possibility of a heroic sacrifice in the next Avengers film. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has expressed excitement about actors like Hemsworth reprising their roles in future projects but has not confirmed specific plans for Thor’s journey yet.
Interestingly, Hemsworth’s portrayal of Thor remains the sole confirmed returning member from the original Avengers lineup for Avengers: Doomsday. Marvel has not announced the involvement of other veterans such as Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk or Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye in the upcoming installment.
Avengers 5 is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, and fans eagerly await official word on the direction of key characters like Thor as the story continues to evolve.
