Chris Hemsworth has candidly taken the blame for 2022’s Thor: Love And Thunder after fans blasted it for being too silly.
The 40-year-old Australian hunk – who recently went shirtless for a Clash Of Clans commercial – did not pull any punches when it came to his involvement in the fourth film in the highly popular Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise directed by Taika Waiiti.
He told Vanity Fair in his cover piece: ‘I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself.
‘I didn’t stick the landing.’
The actor also admitted to growing frustrated with the superhero who is an adaptation of the deity of the same name from Norse mythology after portraying him in those four standalone flicks in addition to four Avengers films.

He told Vanity Fair in his cover piece: ‘I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself. I didn’t stick the landing’
He explained: ‘Sometimes I felt like a security guard for the team.
‘I would read everyone else’s lines, and go, “Oh, they got way cooler stuff. They’re having more fun. What’s my character doing?” It was always about, “You’ve got the wig on. You’ve got the muscles. You’ve got the costume. Where’s the lighting?” Yeah, I’m part of this big thing, but I’m probably pretty replaceable.’
As a result Chris said in the piece that he would like to be taken more seriously as an actor including taking work out of the action genre.
He said that he wants to take the craft more seriously without being ‘an overly self-important, pretentious wanker.’
Regardless of Chris’ feelings toward the role his co-star and Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. praised his work in the MCU.
He said: ‘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.
‘Hemsworth is, in my opinion, the most complex psyche out of all us Avengers. He’s got wit and gravitas, but also such restraint, fire and gentleness.’
Meanwhile the talented Australian actor could next be seen in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga which stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the lead.

The fifth movie in the long-running series will be released in cinemas on Thursday, May 23.
The film tells the origin story of a young Imperator Furiosa, played by Anya, who rose to fame as the star of Netflix hit The Queen’s Gambit.
Meanwhile, Chris has described his character Dementus as ‘a very violent, insane, brutal person that is born from the Wasteland’.
‘He has been birthed into a space where it’s kill or be killed. He’s learned to rule with an iron fist. There’s a charisma to him and it’s very manipulative,’ he said at CCXP in Brazil, where the trailer footage was unveiled.
