Chris Hemsworth Takes Blame for ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Failure: ‘I Got Caught Up in the Improv and the Wackiness’ and ‘Became a Parody of Myself’


Chris Hemsworth said he "became a parody of myself" in "Thor: Love and Thunder."

For what it’s worth, Hemsworth’s longtime Marvel co-star and Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. refuses to listen to such claims, saying: “First off, Thor as a character was super tricky to adapt—lots of implied limitations—but he and Ken Branagh figured out how to transcend, make him somehow relatable but godlike. But the actor yearns for more, telling Vanity Fair he wants to work outside of the action movie genre and collaborate with dramatic filmmakers such as Christopher Nolan, Kathryn Bigelow, Greta Gerwig, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg. I was making back-to-back movies and doing the press tours, and I was married and had three young kids, and it was all happening at the same time in a very short window.. You’re sort of just running on fumes, and then you’re showing up to something with little in the tank and you start to pick things apart: Why am I doing this film?
