Chris Hemsworth is set to return to the Marvel series as Thor in the next film Avengers: Doomsday. The actor, who plays one of the Avengers, opened up about if the film will be his final role as the God
of Thunder. The actor posted a video on his YouTube page to commemorate his return to the franchise some month back. The clip sparked speculation regarding Thor’s exit from the MCU.
In conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Hemsworth clarified that the video was produced out of gratitude towards the character and not a final goodbye. The actor shared, “It was certainly not the intent. To be honest, my social media team assembled some footage and were like, ‘Oh, this could be cool. We’ll put some stuff up and thank the fans.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, cool. It’s been great,”
He added, “So we penned it together, and off I went to do something else. But then I had a few people ask me about it, and someone on my team said, ‘Ugh, we’ve given the wrong impression here.’ We didn’t do any [damage control]; there was no damage control necessary. But a lot was read into a little.”
