Chris Hemsworth says he doesn't want to keep playing Thor for so long that 'exhausted' fans 'roll their eyes'
- Chris Hemsworth spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his future as Thor.
- He said that there are no official plans in place for his next appearance.
Chris Hemsworth said that he is worried that fans may soon be "exhausted" of Thor.
Since the release of the fourth "Thor" movie, "Love and Thunder," last year, Hemsworth has spoken about leaving behind the Marvel hero, a role he has been playing since 2011.
In a new cover story for Entertainment Weekly, Hemsworth said he still has "no idea" about his future as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, he is wary of playing the character too much longer and, by extension, wearing out his welcome.
"I don't want to continue to do it until people are so exhausted that they roll their eyes when they see me come on the screen as that character," said Hemsworth.
"If an audience wants to see it, and if there's something that we believe is exciting and fun, then great. I've loved being able to reinvent that character a few times."
Hemsworth added that he doesn't "have the answer yet," but wants to ensure that Thor continues to be "a little unpredictable."
Hemsworth is the only Marvel actor to star in four solo movies, and has had nine appearances in total in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Earlier this month, the Australian actor told GQ that "Love and Thunder" was "too silly" for its own good, and that Marvel needs to be "tonally different" to stop "fatigue" among fans.
Last year, before "Love and Thunder" was released, Hemsworth said in Wired's auto-complete interview that the movie may be his last appearance as Thor.
However, the movie ended with a text card that said, "Thor will be back," which director Taika Waititi told Insider was a surprise to both himself and Hemsworth.
In November, Hemsworth told Vanity Fair that he is "completely open" to returning to the MCU, but thinks that his next appearance may "have to close the book" on the character.
