THOR's Chris Hemsworth Considers Marvel Contract A Blessing
Prior to the release of 2011's Thor, Chris Hemsworth was relatively unknown to many... flash forward four years... and now he's one of the more recognizable faces in Hollywood!
Despite the immense success Marvel films have experienced in recent years, there are still several actors in the business that are reluctant to sign one of Marvel's now famous multi-picture contracts, Joaquin Phoenix being a recent example, as many consider the long-term commitment a potential hindrance to pursuing other projects. However, there are several actors currently under-contract with Marvel that are more positive as many including Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans have experienced career rejuvenations following their appearances in Marvel films, while others like Chris Hemsworth, Hayley Atwell, Cobie Smulders, and Chris Pratt have seen their careers take a positive upswing following their first MCU appearances. While rumors have circulated that some of the current MCU actors may be looking to move on following the end of their current contracts, it doesn't look like Chris Hemsworth is one of them. Check him out in the video below as he shares his thoughts on his Marvel contract.
Prior to the release of 2011's Thor, the Australian Hemsworth was a relative unknown, his biggest role having been a brief appearance as Captain Kirk's father George in 2009's Star Trek. Following his first appearance as Thor, Hemsworth was able to land lead roles in two Ron Howard films: Rush & In The Heart of the Sea, the Joss Whedon-produced The Cabin In The Woods, Michael Mann's Blackhat, and Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman. Additionally, he has reprised his Thor role twice already in 2012's The Avengers & 2013's Thor: The Dark World. He is also set to wield Mjölnir once again this May in Avengers: Age of Ultron and in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok.

When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance.
