Deemed the Thunder from Down Below after his debut within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Hemsworth has change into a top-tier film star that has drawn audiences in ever since he dared to select up Mjolnir in 2011 as Thor. Since then, his abilities have expanded past the franchise that made him well-known. By now, we have seen him play every thing from a race-car driver within the ’70s to a cult-like chief and twisted warlord of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Who says the man would not have vary?
So, what’s subsequent on the schedule for Hemsworth? Will the present God of Thunder be winding down from kicking up a storm within the MCU? Because it stands, there is no affirmation on what number of extra swings at Thor he might have deliberate, though there are different tasks he both has lined up or is reported to be connected to. With a little bit of comedy there and the occasional henchman pummeling there, Hemsworth’s to-do listing appears attention-grabbing and there is loads to get enthusiastic about. In the beginning, there’s the inevitable return of his different bad-guy disposing hero dude that does not want a piece software to convey the ache, seeing as he is named after one.
Extraction 3
When you’re not already an “Extraction” fan (aka an “Extractor Fan,” due to us making that up simply now), there are two causes you completely ought to be. Firstly there’s the continuous Netflix motion hit from 2020, “Extraction,” that had Hemsworth introducing the world to Tyler Rake, a black-ops mercenary with a haunting previous that tore by way of Bangladesh like an absurdly chiseled hurricane. Then in 2023, Rake returned, this time within the, ahem, cleverly titled “Extraction 2,” through which he burst out of a Georgian jail in a 21-minute one-shot for the ages. It comes as no shock then, that after the franchise’s big success on the streaming service up to now, Hemsworth is ready to rake up much more dangerous guys in “Extraction 3.”
In the meanwhile, the specifics of Rake’s subsequent mission are being saved underneath lock and key. One element that ought to get everybody excited, nevertheless, is the potential return of shady middle-man/Rake handler, Alcott (performed by Hemsworth’s “Thor” costar Idris Elba), who teased that his boss wished our hero on a brand new mission in “Extraction 2.” Might “Extraction 3” be a two-person job pairing Rake with Alcott within the discipline? “Extraction” franchise director Sam Hargrave actually teased as a lot when /Movie interviewed him in 2023. Though he did not need to give an excessive amount of away, Hargrave did point out that, “Maybe, who is aware of if Idris is concerned, that’d be superb and see these two broaden this ‘Extraction’ universe. What that’s precisely, I am unable to say right now.” No matter occur, we hope it includes a reunion for 2 of the MCU’s best-known Asgardians.
Transformers/G.I. Joe Crossover
Whereas the animated movie “Transformers One” did not precisely mild the field workplace on fireplace, Chris Hemsworth was by and huge praised for his voice appearing position as younger Orion Pax, aka the one and future Optimus Prime. Daring to tackle the chief of the Autobots after the legendary Peter Cullen allowed the star to carve an area for himself on this planet of shape-shifting robots — one which is likely to be getting a bit of larger thanks to a different legendary toyline. Certainly, it has been reported that Hemsworth is planning to go from starring within the animated “Transformers” universe to starring within the live-action “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” crossover movie that was teased on the finish of 2023’s “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.”
Whereas the film hasn’t been given an official title simply but, Hemsworth is predicted to play one of many human heroes who both faces off in opposition to or aligns themselves with the movie’s robots in disguise (slightly than reprising his position from “Transformers One”). If issues do go forward, this might mark the second time Hemsworth has made a go at taking part in an All-American Hero after he missed out on taking part in Conrad Hauser aka Duke in 2009’s “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” (a job that as a substitute went to Channing Tatum). “Unexpectedly I believed: that is it, I’ve missed it once more. However then Thor got here alongside,” as Hemsworth revealed throughout a 2020 interview with GQ Journal Australia (through Impartial). Now, due to the actor’s large star energy, he would possibly truly get to play a Joe for actual, solely this time whereas standing subsequent to a semi-truck that turns right into a stoic robotic that loves Linkin Park.
Prince Charming
The debut of the “Snow White” trailer might need left us drained concerning the course Disney continues to go down with the live-action remakes of its animated classics, however Chris Hemsworth dealing with a specific position in a sure undertaking is likely to be sufficient to get us again on board with the Mouse Home (assuming it truly involves go). In October 2024, information bought out that Disney had approached the actor to play the lead in a film about Prince Charming, the royal himbo who struggles to recollect Cinderella’s face after seeing her for one night time and resorts to returning the glass slipper she left behind to seek out his real love.
Apparently, nevertheless, this Charming story will not embrace Cinderella and can as a substitute focus solely on the Prince she caught the attention of that fateful night time she went out in town with a pumpkin as her experience. The final replace from the citadel was that “Wonka” and “Paddington” director Paul King is ready to name the pictures, and can be co-writing the movie’s script with Simon Farnaby and Jon Croker.
In a time the place the gaps are rising ever smaller between the discharge of Disney’s animated films and their live-action remakes (we’re taking a look at you, “Moana”), it might be attention-grabbing to see if a Prince Charming-led “Cinderella” spin-off might truly work. Comparable tasks like “Maleficent” and “Cruella” have loved success previously, so maybe this one will show to be an off-kilter hit as nicely.
Thor 5
Whereas there’s an ever-growing schedule of massive and small-screen choices from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s nothing confirmed simply but with regard to a fifth “Thor” film. That is to not say the hammer-chucking hero on the middle of all of it is not contemplating a return to the MCU. Following the considerably disappointing crucial and viewers reception for “Thor: Love and Thunder,” Chris Hemsworth has expressed curiosity at having one other swing on the Norse god, primarily as a result of he feels that the followers deserve it. In an interview with Vainness Truthful, the actor confessed that Thor misplaced his method considerably in his final solo outing, which noticed the loss of life of Janes Foster (Natalie Portman) and a wasted villain within the type of Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher. “I bought caught up within the improv and the wackiness, and I grew to become a parody of myself. I did not stick the touchdown,” Hemsworth admitted.
In a 2022 look on the “Glad Unhappy Confused” podcast, the actor appeared that he was not sure about Thor’s future within the franchise he’d helped attain blockbuster breaking ranges. “I do not know if I am even invited again, but when I used to be, I believe it must be a drastically totally different model in tone, every thing, only for my very own sanity… [laughs] Thor misplaced his thoughts that final one. He is bought to determine it out now,” as Hemsworth put it. Within the Home of Concepts that’s the Marvel universe, that basically could possibly be something, however we’re certain Hemsworth’s Norse god hero will nail one thing down finally.
