Whenever we hear about Chris Hemsworth, we end up imagining him as Thor. However, he is a lot more than just being the superhero.

Rush(2013):

To start off with the list, the first movie is a biopic of English Formula One legend James Hunt. The role of James Hunt was played by Chris Hemsworth.

In The Heart Of The Sea–

This movie again is based on a true story of the tragic sinking of the whaling ship Essex in 1820 that inspired Moby Dick. Owen Chase was the character that was played by Chris.

The Cabin In The Woods–

Another silver screen appearance of The Thunder God that was astounding is in the 2011 movie, The Cabin in the Woods. It was a horror genre movie. He plays the role of one of the five college students who encounter disturbing and horror-filled events in a far-fetched cabin. For the lovers of this genre, this movie was remarkable and had its own league.
