Alan Ritchson, known for his role as Jack Reacher in the Amazon series based on Lee Child's novels, recently revealed that he almost played Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ritchson admitted that he didn't take the audition seriously, assuming his resemblance to the character would be sufficient to secure the role. However, the part ultimately went to Chris Hemsworth, who went on to portray the Asgardian god in multiple films.
Reflecting on the missed opportunity, Ritchson acknowledged that he lacked 'the craft' required for the role at the time. Despite this setback, he continued to hone his acting skills over the years, landing roles in various projects such as 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' 'New Girl,' and 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine.'
