For seven years, Marvel fans have watched Chris Hemsworth bring to life the iconic God of Thunder on the big screen. But alas, all good things must come to an end, and
Avengers 4 marks the end of Hemsworth's contract with Marvel. That means his future as
Thor is officially over... for now, at least.
Appearing on Channel 7's
Sunrise in Australia, Hemsworth was briefly asked about his future as Thor, and though it sounds like he may (temporarily) have set the hammer down, there remains a chance he could return.
"My contract's coming to an end, we've just finished the last two Avengers," the star told the network.
"Who knows what the future holds."
"We felt like we reinvented the last one in a big way. It felt refreshed and reenergized," Hemsworth added, echoing what he
told IGN earlier this year.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future as Thor, Hemsworth did leave open the possibility of a return to the MCU.
"We might have a conversation if there's another great script that comes along. But at the moment that's it," he said.
While it's nothing official, the door seems to remain open, which is a better outlook than last month when Hemsworth
told USA Today,
"Contractually, right now — yeah, this is it. I’m done. I won’t be playing the character again."
Avengers: Infinity War will be released in the US on May 4, 2018, with
Avengers 4 coming on May 3, 2019. Will that be the last time we see Chris Hemsworth as Thor?
