For years, people have debated about one fight: Thor vs. Superman. Chris Hemsworth, who portrayed Thor in the solo film as well as The Avengers, was asked on who he thought would win...

As you'd expect, he said Thor. Here's an excerpt of that interview:

“I’ve got to back myself, ” the actor started off. "“I reckon it would be a bloody battle but I would win I think.”

It seems Hemsworth did come off as a bit prideful of Thor. But I have to agree with him. While I like both heroes, I give it to Thor. Magic has shown to be one of Superman's weaknesses and Thor has a lot of that. Plus, Thor's hammer would deal Superman a pretty powerful blow. I also agree that it would be a bloddy battle, seeing as how the characters are pretty evenly matched. But as stated eariler, I do think Thor would win.

Hemsworth's desire to fight Cavill may be interesting, but it is a next to never possibility. We all know Marvel and DC won't come together on anything but comics. Everything else is pretty much a big no. Ironically, however, both Thor 2: The Dark World and Man of Steel will see release next year. Of course, that dosen't bring the characters any closer to a fight.

So, do you all agree with Hemsworth or do you think Superman could defeat Thor? Also, if Hemsworth's Thor meets Cavill's Superman on the big screen, how would you all like to see it go down? Let the comments begin.


This is a little pic I made to show what the two would look like standing side by side.

Thor would beat Superman due to Mjolnir's magical nature. If it was an even fight, meaning brute strength alone, then maybe Supes would take it.

However, if it ended up on screen or in a comic or something, they'd write it so Superman won, because he's more popular/famous.

I don't know if it came down to psychological tension we would know how this would end.

We've already seen how Thor can be in a fight - movie version. Not so much is known for the new Superman.

Thor will jump at the chance for a great battle as he did up against Hulk. His not very smart but one hell of a fighter. But you can thank his Godliness for eons of battle training.

Superman was never a trained fighter and relied more on his powers and his quick thinking. Not to mention he has been known to be a sucker at times to get clobbered.

The only way Thor would win this fight is if he struck first fast and really [frick]ing hard.

The only way Superman would win this fight is if Thor gets way to cocky and just toys with Supes.

It kind of depends on the version, tbh. Comics Thor would probably take down comics Supes, I don't think many people would deny that. Film Thor, however, has significantly less magic: he's only ever displayed flight and lightning up to this point. It's possible we'll see a God Blast in Thor 2, but I kind of doubt it.

Of course, we don't have Snyder's version of Supes to compare him against quite yet...

I saw Thor. It would be a hell of a fight and an entertaining one at that but as you said, the magic is a factor and it's one of Superman's weaknesses and Thor has lots of magic. Winner: Thor. Although, a live action fight between Thor (especially in Thor: The Dark World from what we have seen) and Zack Snyder's Man of Steel would be epic.
