    What makes Chris Hemsworth so perfect as Thor is his seamless ability to go back and forth between being very funny and heartbreaking, which was especially the case in the Kenneth Branagh movie and Endgame.

Plus, most of his time has been spent amongst earthlings, so yeah, he's going to change more as time goes on.

    To think that Tom Hiddleston tried out as Thor made me chuckle. I think that Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were nobodies when the MCU was looking for Loki and Thor and they hired the two most perfect men. I find them both extremely attractive and they are both amazing at what they do! The god of mischief and the god of thunder I can watch til the day I die! I hope that Chris Hemsworth plays Thor till the wheels fall off.

    Cabin in the Woods was a pretty classic movie and I might argue it was more iconic than any of these save Thor. But I get why they wouldn't say it was one of his most iconic characters. He had a significant role but he wasn't exactly the lead. I'd be keen to hear what he has to say about doing a horror film though.

    No "Star Trek"? The opening of "Star Trek" is something I can watch over and over.

    There were many actors who were quite wrongly moved out of mcu what I have heard apparently this was a very apt casting and not purposefully pushed into or moved out✌️

    Everyday I think about how good the Ghostbusters movie was and how we were just absolutely robbed of a sequel
