It’s hard to imagine anyone other than Chris Hemsworth as Thor in the MCU, thanks to the actor’s iconic performance in the role. But it turns out that Reacher star Alan Ritchson was another frontrunner before he blew his audition for the God of Thunder.
Speaking to Men’s Health, the actor shared his experience of auditioning for 2011’s Thor. He said: "I didn’t take it seriously. I was like, 'They’ll throw me the part if I look like the guy; nobody really cares about acting.'" However, he revealed that after the audition, the casting team told him that it had actually been his to lose, but he hadn’t shown that he had "the craft".
