Thor Star Chris Hemsworth Breaks Silence on Rumored MCU Exit

For years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe revolved around the original six Avengers but 2019's Avengers: Endgame saw actors Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson exit the billion-dollar franchise. While the other half of the famed "Original Six" are still active in the MCU, Chris Hemsworth currently holds the record as the only actor out of the bunch who starred in four solo films.

Unsurprisingly, Thor is one of those characters whose story is heavily rumored to be coming to an end. In fact, a lot of fans believe that Thor: Love and Thunder will be the last outing for the original God of Thunder, especially now that Jane Foster has been re-added into the mix.

Well, if you'd ask Hemsworth himself, he's quite uncertain about his MCU future but admittedly wants to explore more stories as the worthy one. Speaking with Extra, the Australian star said: "Every time I play Thor, I'm like, 'This is the last time they let me do it.' So I don't know."

Despite the rumors of him leaving the MCU, Hemsworth stated that he loves playing the character: "I love it, I love it. I'll come back for more and more until someone kicks me off the stage, you know. I love it. My whole career has been based around me playing this character and to come back again and again and play it with different directors and different casts has been an absolute joy. And, yeah, we'll see what the fans want, and I don't know, I'm down for whatever is enjoyable and having a good time. That's what this experience in the Marvel world has been for me, so bring it on."

I don't see Chris leaving the franchise anytime soon and if anything, there are still loads of stories Marvel Studios could tell that involves Thor. Besides, the God of Thunder has become a true fan-favorite amongst fans over the last couple of years and it would be a shame to see his arc end.

Thor: Love and Thunder is slated for release on July 8, 2022.
