In a recent interview, actor Chris Hemsworth revealed the reason he remained as the God of Thunder and agreed to participate in Thor 5 even though he had to accept bitter consequences from the previous film.
When mentioning Thor: Love and Thunder (Thor 4), people immediately think of one of the worst works of the MCU. With the participation of a series of famous names such as Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Natalie Portman, Chris Pratt, Jaimie Alexander, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista,... especially Christian Bale. However, the movie that gathered all-stars and had a very good foundation when bringing the story of female Thor and Gorr The God Butcher to the big screen left the audience extremely disappointed.
Ignoring factors such as plot, visuals, art direction, character building, etc., the acting is also an important reason why Thor 4 was criticized. In addition to Christian Bale, who received many compliments, the rest of the cast still did not do well, even with Chris Hemsworth whose performance was only rated as average. This is also the reason why Chris decided to continue accompanying the role of Thor in the upcoming solo film.
The information came from a recent interview, when asked about the reason why he still accepted the role of Thor in the next solo film despite the disastrous failure of part 4, Chris Hemsworth frankly shared the reason. actually.
Accordingly, he thought that he and the film crew owed the audience a real ending after Love and Thunder, the character Thor in part 4 was like the Parody version when it did not show the exact temperament he wanted. Chris expressed regret about the direction Marvel Studios is pursuing with the character of the God of Thunder, it is not the same as what he thought of Thor. As for participating in the production of part 5, Chris hopes to be able to bring a true Norse god along with a memorable ending for fans and worthy of the character's contribution to the MCU.
In the past, Chris Hemsworth also mentioned that he did not like the changes in the character Thor in part 3, he wanted a darker and more epic story like in Thor: The Dark World. However, because Thor 3 was a huge success, Chris also accepted a new direction for the character. After Love and Thunder became a "box office disaster", this is when the male lead asked Marvel to reconsider, the end result is that we have Thor 5 with a dark and heroic plot (according to as previously shared from Marvel).
