Thor has frequently called himself the MCU's "strongest Avenger," but Chris Hemsworth doesn't necessarily agree with the character he plays. Promoting Crime 101, the Australian actor was asked for his thoughts on how the Thunder God's power set compares to Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch.
Since his debut in 2011's Thor, we've seen the Asgardian establish himself as a true powerhouse. Wanda Maximoff, who first appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier's mid-credits scene in 2014, has only grown more formidable since then, ultimately earning her title as the MCU's "Scarlet Witch."
We've seen Wanda hold her own against Thanos, Doctor Strange, and more. Thor, meanwhile, has battled Dark Elves, a God Butcher, and even The Hulk (among others).
Which of them is strongest has been hotly debated among fans, but Hemsworth's answer to who would win in a fight was simple: "Probably Wanda." Unsurprisingly, fans have been weighing in with their take, making a case for both Thor and the Scarlet Witch to stand triumphant.
Rumours have swirled about the latter being allied with Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, so it may not be too long before we get to see this fight for ourselves.
"I’ve been really proud of what we’ve been able to make. Really proud," Olsen said last year when asked if she's set to return as Wanda. "But I don’t have an answer for that. Well, I can’t [imagine her being in Doomsday]. Honestly, I do wait. I want to see [her] return in this role because I think what they’ve done with her is really great, and I love the journey she’s taken."
"I think it’s always a fun one to get to go back into, and I just have no idea how or when, for sure," the actress added.
