Chris Hemsworth reveals that he had gotten bored of his MCU character before he began working on Thor: Ragnarok with Taika Waititi. Having originated the role in 2011's Thor, Hemsworth stands as one of the MCU's veteran actors, having starred in six subsequent projects since his debut. As one of the original Avengers, Hemsworth has since grown with his character as the Marvel universe has progressed through its phases, with the star now set to appear in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder, which will mark his eighth appearance in the MCU.

While Hemsworth's God of Thunder has long been a fan-favorite character for many, both Thor and its 2013 sequel, Thor: The Dark World often rank fairly low when it comes to audiences' most beloved MCU films, with the sequel, in particular, having endured much criticism over the years. The release of 2017's Thor: Ragnarok was a breath of fresh air for many who had been hoping for something new as Waititi put an entirely new spin on the character, with the film also marking a tonal shift in the Thor series as a whole. Following Thor: Ragnarok's success, Waititi has since returned to direct Thor: Love and Thunder, which will also see him reprise his character Korg.
