As far as MCU characters go, I have a lot of time for Thor. I think Hemsworth is magnificent in the role and his comic timing blends well with his earnestness in every outing.
I genuinely thought the character simply couldn’t work on the big screen. Then Kenneth Branagh got hold of it and delivered something so wonderfully Shakespearean and melodramatic while leaning completely into its own goofiness, that the first Thor is still one of my favorite MCU entries.
Avengers: Infinity War is very much Thor’s movie, and he serves it really well, making it one of, if not the, strongest MCU entry of them all.
So like many others, I was disappointed in Thor: Love and Thunder.
Ragnorok was fun, but Love and Thunder was just too much for me.
It turns out that Hemsworth agrees. In an interview with the SmartLess podcast (via The Playlist), he admits they got it wrong, and why:
“You do need to be careful. When we made Ragnarok, it was quite a twist, with Taika’s [movie]. And it was so fun.
There was a huge appreciation for the shift. And then [with] ‘Love And Thunder,’ it was kind of like a Monty Python sketch, and we took the piss probably a little much, and then there was some backlash.
There was this real kind of, ‘Why is he a goofball and why is it like this?’ And, [audiences] violently offended and we were like, ‘Oh, we’re just having fun or trying to try something different.’”
He also hinted that he now has a lot more certainty about his future in the role, after some comments he made last year seemed to indicate that his time as Thor was to end:
“I was talking to Kevin Feige about it, and he said it’s cool because the audience now expects dramatic turns with the character, and whatever we do next – we’ve got some ideas to do something pretty unique again and hopefully be [different].”
He specifically mentioned playing Thor “at least a couple more times” after the latest Avengers instalments.
