Chris Hemsworth on 'Thor: Love and Thunder:' "I Became a Parody of Myself" | THR News Video

Chris Hemsworth is still cringing over the disappointing reception of Marvel’s Thor love and Thunder, the actor, looking back on the 2022 Marvel movie in a new profile in Vanity Fair, said. I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness and I became a parody of myself. I didn’t stick the landing. Hemsworth, maybe being a bit hard on himself given the film’s creative direction, was largely driven by its Co writer and director Taika Waititi, who previously led the Thor franchise to what’s universally considered its best film, 2017’s Thor, Ragnarok. Love and Thunder also still grows $760 million at the box office. Despite its poor fan reception, Hemsworth has previously said that Love and Thunder was too adding. I think we just had too much fun. It’s always hard being in the center of it and having any real perspective. Oh, you flick too hard, damn it. Elsewhere, the actor talked about feeling creatively unfulfilled until working on George Miller’s Furiosa with Anya Taylor Joy. As soon as I got to Furiosa rehearsals, everything lifted. I just got reinvigorated. Suffering without a purpose is awful. Suffering with purpose can be rejuvenating and replenishing. I’d grown so tired of myself, and now I have to lose myself in a character. The actor also reflected on, wondering why he wasn’t offered more roles from acclaimed directors. Why am I doing this film? Why isn’t this script better? Why didn’t that director call me for that? Or why didn’t I get considered for this role? Why don’t I get the call up from Scorsese or Tarantino? I had begun to take it all too serious and too personal. For more on the story at the thr.com and for the latest entertainment news and updates, keep watching The Hollywood Reporter news.
