“Sometimes I feel like a security guard for the team,” Chris said, “I read everyone’s lines, and say, ‘Oh, they’ve got great stuff. They’re having more fun. What is my character doing? It was always, ‘You’ve got the muscles. Where’s the light?’ Yes, I’m part of this big thing, but I’m probably pretty replaceable.
However, Chris’s longtime Marvel co-star and Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. refused to believe such claims, saying that molding his character into someone ‘relatable but godly’ was ‘extremely difficult. ‘ Was. He also claimed that he has ‘the most complex psyche’ of all the Avengers.

Meanwhile, Chris will next be seen in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a prequel to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road. In the interview, the actor admitted that “it’s been a long wait” to be able to get another chance to show off more of his “muscular action man” chops, but that’s what Furiosa will do.
“I was worried about everything,” Hemsworth said of the need for a break. Nothing was as enjoyable as it was before, or as I thought it would be. I was making back-to-back movies and doing press tours, and I was married and had three little kids, and it was all happening at the same time in a very short period of time… You’re just on fumes. Getting going, and then you’re showing something with very little content in the tank and you start to pick things apart: Why am I doing this movie? Why isn’t this script better? Why didn’t that director call me for this or why was my name not considered for this role? Why don’t I get call-ups from Scorsese or Tarantino? I started taking it too seriously and too personally.”
It’s unclear when the actor will return as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has shared that he wants to give fans the Thor movie they deserve, but he also told Entertainment Weekly last year that he wasn’t sure how much longer he could continue playing the same role.
