Chris Hemsworth On THOR Vs HULK In RAGNAROK And Contract Re-Up After INFINITY WAR
Before revealing whether or not he'd renegotiate his Marvel contract after Avengers: Infinity War, Chris Hemsworth talks here for the first time about returning as the God of Thunder alongside Mark Ruffalo's Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok, and who'll win in the inevitable battle.
With Mark Ruffalo set to reprise his Avengers: Age of Ultron role as Bruce Banner aka Incredible Hulk in Chris Hemsworth's third solo outing as the God of Thunder, Thor: Ragnarok, we're bound to see the two superheroes bump heads once again. And while the Jade Giant has got the best of the Asgardian in their past scuffles, Hemsworth thinks the tables will turn in his 2017 Marvel threequel.
"I'd like to think I let him win last time, but because this movie is called Thor, I have to win this time," Chris Hemsworth told the New York Daily News while promoting In the Heart of the Sea. The Aussie actor failed to give any details on how Bruce Banner's angry alter-ego will come into the picture, but he does look forward to acting opposite Mark Ruffalo once again. "I hope it's a Butch Cassidy (and the Sundance Kid") sort of story," he said, referring to a 1969 buddy western. "That would be fun. I love Mark. I think those two characters haven't spent a whole lot of time talking to each other on screen (so far in the Marvel movies) , so it's something new, I think it would bring something different out of the characters. It's hard to have a conversation with the Hulk."
Finally, Hemsworth was asked about potentially renewing his contract with Marvel Studios given his original multi-picture deal will be fulfilled after the massive two-part Avengers: Infinity War event. "Contractually that will finish me up, I have to see how I feel at the end of them, it's still a while away," he said before joking that he'd like to see a fourth Thor movie explore the Odinson letting himself go physically. "Ask me in three films time," Hemsworth added. What do you think?
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Ray Stevenson, Anthony Hopkins, and Mark Ruffalo, Thor: Ragnarok is currently being scripted by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle with Taika Waititi set to direct, and the movie scheduled to release in theaters on November 3, 2017.
