Chris Hemsworth agrees with reviews of 'Thor: Love and Thunder' that claimed the movie was too comical
The actor Chris Hemsworth, who played the Marvel character Thor for more than ten years, has expressed his opinion that his last movie in the role, Thor: Love and Thunder, was "too silly" and suffered as a result.
“I think we just had too much fun. It just became too silly,” Hemsworth said about the movie that received somewhat negative reviews when it was released in 2022.
“It’s always hard being in the center of it and having
any real perspective…I love the process, it’s always a ride. But you just
don’t know how people are going to respond.”
The Extraction star
revealed that his eight-year-old son’s friends were his biggest critiques,
“It’s a bunch of eight-year-olds critiquing my film. ‘We thought this one
had too much humor, the action was cool but the VFX weren’t as good.’”
Hemsworth
also expressed his thoughts on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania not doing
well with critics and fans alike. He said that he didn’t see the movie but
came across enough of its marketing to wonder why Marvel had turned the
Ant-Man franchise into a big multiversal epic.
Reflecting on the
same, he said, “That’s the trick: you have to separate all those stories.
The moment it’s like: ‘Your world is in danger, the entire universe!’ It’s
like, ‘Yeah, so [it] was the last 24 films.’ It has to become a bit more
personal and grounded.”
Hemsworth will next be seen in the action
movie Extraction 2, which will be available on Netflix from June 16.
