Chris Hemsworth competes with ten actors for Thor role in Marvel films

Chris Hemsworth was not the only actor vying for the role of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He competed against ten other actors, including some well-known stars, to secure the iconic part. Hemsworth made his debut as Thor in 2011 and has since reprised the role in several films, including 2022's "Thor: Love and Thunder." He also appeared briefly in 2024's "Deadpool & Wolverine." Despite his success, Hemsworth initially doubted he would get the role, believing another actor was the frontrunner. The competition included actors who later joined the Marvel franchise.
