With His Contract At An End, Chris Hemsworth Confirms He's Finished Playing THOR...For Now

Chris Hemsworth talks more about his contract with Marvel Studios reaching its end after Avengers 4 and seemingly sheds some light on his future as Thor! However, there may be at least some hope...

Chris Hemsworth's Thor has become a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but now that he's finished shooting Avengers 4, his contractual obligations - which began way back in 2011 - are finally at an end. So, what does that mean for the God of Thunder's future? "Contractually, right now — yeah, this is it. I’m done. I won’t be playing the character again," he confirmed to USA Today recently. 

"It’s sort of a scary thought," Hemsworth confessed. "This really seemed like this never-ending thing. And now it’s potentially finishing." However, he hasn't completely closed the door on returning to the role as he acknowledges that Thor: Ragnarok left the God of Thunder in an exciting new place moving forward. "I felt like we re-invented him. There is a bigger platform now to continue if we want to."

It appears as if Hemsworth hasn't talked to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige about a Thor 4 either as he explains that the focus is on The Avengers. "Kevin said, 'Look, we just have to concentrate on [Avengers] now. So who knows? It’s a conversation for further down the road, if it was going to happen. "I want to slow down for a minute and make some decisions on a rested brain." 

Providing the money is good, you have to believe that Marvel will find a way to get Hemsworth to return but there's nothing to say Thor even survives the events of the next two Avengers movies! This isn't the only contract now at an end, though, so Feige is going to have to start negotiations soon...

@MarvelousMarty - Taika was open to a 2nd movie and it makes little sense in the MCU to have him disappear when he just took over Asgard, is in charge of the 9 realms and still may have Hela and others in play.

First!!

I thought I was done with his Thor too, but Ragnarok was so enjoyable! I love the direction they took him and would like to see one more to to finalize the Fate of Asgard. And for the love of god, can we get Enchantress?

I think he should take a break from Thor for a year or two but definitely come back in some fashion for a new trilogy!

It all mainly depends if he dies in the last two films, I'm not a huge Thor fan but Ragnarok made me smile and was his best outing but Cap and Bucky basically revived from the dead its going to be an ask to keep reviving characters.

I think we will have a Thor style Asgardian but just not him...

@Fogs - They've kept everything regarding her under VERY tight wraps. Not even a set shot w/ her that I've seen.

I’m fine with them giving all these characters a rest and moving forward with new marvel characters and teams.
I’d like to see a whole new era of Marvel movies. One that isnt distracted with all the same characters.
I love all of them, but it’s good that they go out on top than having worn out their welcome.
Marvel needs to focus on re-introducing the X-Men and Fantastic Four.
And new Dr. Strange and Black Panther movies etc
Maybe, hopefully, they can introduce Alpha Flight.
This is the perfect time for a whole new wave of Marvel films.

Chris has 100% grown on me as Thor. I hope he comes back as Thor is finally getting his due. Take some time off, enjoy IW and Avenger 4, and then come back for Thor 4

And just a couple days ago we was ready to return, and he and Watiti were talking about the next Thor. Just because a contract is up doesn't mean that he WON'T return, it just means that he doesn't have a commitment to return... yet.
