Despite his status as the Marvel Cinematic Universe\u2019s God of Thunder, Thor\u2019s journey was a bit rocky. His first two solo movies often find themselves on lists of the least favorite MCU films, and his role in the Avengers sequel got chopped down significantly in the editing room.<\/p>\n<p>All this left Thor feeling somewhat overshadowed compared to Iron Man and Captain America. Hemsworth even feared his Asgardian hero might be written out of the franchise altogether. His worries started during the press tour for <em>Age of Ultron<\/em>, when he heard a lot of buzz about a film called <em>Civil War<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember being on the <em>Age of Ultron<\/em> press tour, and everyone was talking about Civil War,\u201d Hemsworth recounted in <em>The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/em>. \u201cI was like, \u2018What\u2019s Civil War?\u2019 I asked, \u2018Are you doing a side-project or something?\u2019 They\u2019re like, \u2018Oh no, Captain America, you know? The next one is Civil War.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Wait\u2026 Iron Man\u2019s in that?\u2019 And it\u2019s like, \u2018Yeah, but there\u2019s not just Iron Man. There\u2019s Vision. There\u2019s Spider-Man.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hemsworth\u2019s anxiety even led him to question Marvel\u2019s higher-ups, asking, \u201cWait \u2014 what the hell am I doing?\u201d Marvel assured him he would be \u201cdoing his own thing,\u201d but Hemsworth couldn\u2019t shake the fear that he was being written out of the MCU.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Thor wasn\u2019t written off. He went on to star in <em>Thor: Ragnarok<\/em>, which featured a memorable team-up with the Hulk (played by Mark Ruffalo). <em>Ragnarok<\/em> was a huge hit, often hailed as one of the best MCU movies, and played a big role in revitalizing Thor\u2019s character, bringing him up to the same level as Iron Man and Captain America.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the success of <em>Ragnarok<\/em> was so significant that Thor achieved something neither Iron Man nor Captain America had: he got a fourth solo movie!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before the arrival of Thor: Ragnarok, Chris Hemsworth\u2019s Thor wasn\u2019t exactly winning any popularity contests among Avengers fans.
