Chris Hemsworth, whose main character is and always will be Thor, the Norse god he played in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is hoping for a change in his character’s personality in the fifth installment of the Thor franchise. The actor last appeared in Thor: Love and Thunder, where his once arrogant divine persona has been turned into a comedic version, which may not be the most appealing. The film received somewhat controversial reception from critics and fans.

Thor’s Character Needs a Dramatic Change
Thor: Love and Thunder, directed by Taika Waititi, portrayed a version of Thor that many fans weren’t too fond of. Although the Thor character has always had comedic potential, making the Norse god a complete joke in the movies was neither expected nor appreciated.
In a conversation regarding Thor’s future in the MCU, the Extraction The actor admitted he wanted a radically different take on his character than what audiences have recently seen. It’s also worth noting that the mixed reviews of Thor 4 did not sit well with Hemsworth, leading him to suggest a potential end to the character.
Talk to Josh Horowitz for the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Red Dawn the actor said,
“You look at Thor 1 and 2, they were quite similar. Ragnarok and Love and Thunder are similar. I think it’s about reinventing it. I had a unique opportunity with Infinity War and Endgame to do some very drastic things with the character. I like that, I like to keep people on their toes. It keeps me on my toes. It keeps me invested. I’ve said this before but when it gets too familiar, I think there’s a risk in getting lazy because I know what I’m doing. I don’t know if I’m even invited back, but if I was, I think it would have to be a drastically different version in tone, everything, just for my own sanity… [laughs] Thor lost his mind the latter. He must understand it now.

Thor 5 Could Be Chris Hemsworth’s Final Chapter In The MCU
With mixed reviews from Thor: Love and Thunder, Chris Hemsworth, who has long embodied the Norse god, is convinced that his character should finally come to an end. While the story of Ironman and Captain America came to a halt with the end of Avengers: Endgame, it’s safe to say that Thor’s story may have been a little too long.
Thor: Love and Thunder brought back the character of Natalie Portman as Jane Foster and introduced Love, Thor’s adopted daughter. However, Foster’s death and the possible end of storylines for Thor could indicate that the character is retiring for good, or possibly even dying.
Hemsworth was even seen discussing the same in an interview with Vanity Fair where he states his opinion that the next Thor movie should end his story for good, despite his previous interest in continuing to play the character. .
“Yeah sure. I feel like we should probably close the book if I ever do it again, you know what I mean? I feel like that probably justifies it. I feel like that this would probably be the finale, but it’s not based on anything anyone told me or any plan you have this birth of a hero, a hero’s journey, and then the death of a hero, and I don’t know – am I at this point? Who knows?” said Hemsworth.
There are many theories about Thor’s death in the fifth episode if the movie happens. One of them happens to be the thunder god victim of Kang the Conqueror, which can also define the seriousness of Kang’s character to the highest degree. Whatever happens, what remains for sure would be Chris Hemsworth’s good run with the character all these years.
