Chris Hemsworth Hates Wearing Capes Because They’re ‘So Impractical’: Playing a Superhero Is a ‘Predictable Box’ With a ‘Whole Lot of Rules You Have to Stick To’


Chris Hemsworth says playing a superhero puts you in a "predictable box" that has "a whole lot of rules you have to stick to."

The “Furiosa” cape was “not intentional to be a comparison of Thor,” Hemsworth stressed, “but I found a wonderful departure to it — to play the villain, transform and inhabit a completely different physicality was a lot of fun. The actor added that while he wanted to collaborate with George Miller, another selling point for “Furiosa” was the desire “to dirty it up and to be messy and ugly and violent and chaotic, rather than being in the somewhat predictable box of the hero in a superhero space. Hemsworth recently told Vanity Fair that “it’s been a long wait” to be able to get the chance to show off more than just his “muscly action guy” chops, which he’s done as Thor in the MCU and in movies such as Netflix’s “Extraction” franchise.
