Chris Hemsworth Shares the Pressure of Being an MCU Star
While talking to Men’s Journal,Chris Hemsworthtalked about the pressure of being an MCU Star. The Australian actor has been playing God of Thunder for more than a decade and seems like it has finally taken a toll on the Thor star.
TheExtractionstar shared that even after being in the industry for so long, he still faces difficulties sometimes. He shared that he still reaches out to his mother to talk about some old scars that pop up.
TheSpiderheadstar said, “You’re waking up worrying, ‘Is the film gonna work? Have I let people down? Did I do a good enough job? Did I promote it properly? Are fans responding?”He further mentioned that it’s very tricky to put so much effort into something and just not care about the result. He termed it as “almost PTSD.”
The quote seems to hint at the carelessness of the director of Hemsworth’s last film, Taika Waititi. The director said on multiple occasions that he had no interest in hummingLove and Thunderwith the ongoing MCU events and took the opposite direction for the film.

Taika Waititijoined the MCU with the 2017 filmThor: Ragnarok. He directed the film and also portrayed the Kronan warrior, Krog. After the 2017 film, he also directedThor: Love and Thunder,which was released in 2022.
The film failed to impress Marvel fans, and they were left disappointed. However, this was not the first time theFree Guyactor failed to impress fans. His previous take on Thor’s story inRagnarokalso did not live up to fans’ expectations.

Answering the question, he said that he does not research all the storylines of Marvel, as there are too many characters, and he does not know half of them.
“I just want to do my film, just put the things in, then have them say, “You can’t do that because that messes with this whole storyline,”Waititi said.
Fans were not happy with this statement as it pointed towards Waititi being an anti towards comics. He continued to release a similar statement about his thoughts onLove and Thunder.
After his last appearance in the MCU, Marvel has not revealed any projects that Chris Hemsworth could be a part of. However, there are expectations that he would join Tom Hiddleston in the upcoming season ofLoki.
