Chris Hemsworth has sparked speculation about his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after sharing an emotional tribute video titled Thank You! The Legacy of Thor. The video, which features behind-the-scenes footage and iconic moments from his 15-year journey as the God of Thunder, has led fans to wonder whether he is preparing to bid farewell to the character.
In the tribute, Hemsworth expressed his gratitude, saying, “Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honours of my life. For the last 15 years, I’ve held Mjolnir and then Stormbreaker as the God of Thunder, but what made it truly special… was sharing it with all of you. Your passion, your cheers, and your love for this character have meant everything to me. Thank you for making my journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe unforgettable. Next up, Doomsday!”.
While Hemsworth is confirmed to reprise his role in Avengers: Doomsday, the heartfelt tone of his message has fueled speculation that this could be his final appearance as Thor. The actor has previously hinted that any future portrayal of the character might need to serve as a conclusion to his story, stating, “You have this birth of a hero, the journey of a hero, then the death of a hero… am I at that stage? Who knows?”.
Marvel Studios has not officially commented on Hemsworth’s future beyond Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to release on December 18, 2026. However, fans are debating whether Thor will return for Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduled for December 17, 2027. The Russo brothers, known for directing Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, are set to helm both upcoming Avengers films.
Social media has been buzzing with theories, with some fans speculating that Thor might meet his end in Doomsday, while others hope for a grand send-off or even a surprise return in Secret Wars. Regardless of what happens, Hemsworth’s tribute has left a lasting impact, reminding audiences of his incredible journey as one of the MCU’s most beloved heroes.
