When it comes to the MCU’s god of thunder, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) really has been to Hela and back. With most of his family dead and the only one left keeping all of time under control, the hammer-chucking legend has had a lot to learn and landed as many hits as misses during his time of playing hero. The most notable and divisive entry was Taika Waitit's Thor: Love and Thunder which took a severe pummeling from fans and critics alike (even though we loved it). With such a rollercoaster time in the role, Hemsworth recently explained that much of it came down to directors having a very different grasp of Thor, for better or worse.
“Some had a clear handle on who they thought the character was, and some didn’t,” Hemsworth explained in a recent interview with Brobible. “Even to their own admission — I remember Joss Whedon saying it’s a tricky character to write, especially once he’s acquired that strength. It was really around working with Taika where I was kind of sick of what I’d been doing, and he was like, ‘Yeah, so am I. Let’s explore a different space.’ I hope that brought some unpredictability to the character.”
