Chris Hemsworth unveils surprising twist behind his role 'Thor'

Chris Hemsworth unveiled that his brother was the first to be considered before him for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's one of the most hit characters.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the 40-year-old Marvel superstar revealed that he and his younger brother, Liam Hemsworth, both auditioned for the role of Thor in 2011.

In a video shared the publication on TikTok, The Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star admitted during a lie detector test that Liam, 34, also auditioned for the iconic role.

“I was told I didn't have the part at that point. So I was excited for him, a little jealous maybe but I was excited for him. Then when I was allowed to re-audition, it was when he was out of the picture," Chris explained.

He further clarified, “So we never were neck and neck. It was either I was involved, then wasn't, then he was involved, then wasn't, then I was involved.”

It is pertinent to mention that, the Ghostbusters actor portrayed the role of "God of Thunder" in Avengers from 2011 to 2022 starring alongside Robert Downey Jr. who portrayed Iron Man, Chris Evans who portrayed Captain America, Mark Ruffalo who played The Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.

Moreover, Chris’s upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is all set to release on May 24, 2024.
