The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Infinity Saga revealed that Thor wasn’t the only Avenger worthy of lifting Mjolnir, but now in Phase 4, all of the original Avengers who were worthy are gone except for Thor – and here’s why. The first three phases of the MCU were all about Thanos and his quest to get the Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet, all while introducing the heroes that would bring him down, and all this led to the conflicts in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The big Battle of Earth In Endgame paid off many moments and teases, most notably the worthiness of one character, who teamed up with Thor to fight Thanos and his armies.
When Thor (Chris Hemsworth) made his MCU debut in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor, in 2011, it was explained why only he could use the hammer, Mjolnir, and why he lost the ability to do so for a while, and it’s all rooted in worthiness. Mjolnir was forged by the Dwarves in Nidavellir per Odin’s request and was used by him before being passed down to Hela and Thor. After ignoring his father’s orders and attacking Jotunheim in Thor, the God of Thunder was banished to Earth, and Mjolnir was taken away from him. Odin then protected the hammer with an enchantment so only those worthy of it could lift it, and that continues to be the requirement to wield Mjolnir. At the end of Thor, he was worthy of the hammer again after overcoming his ego and more, and since then, other characters have been revealed to be worthy, too.
