The God of Thunder has spoken, and according to Chris Hemsworth, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to outdo its own legendary track record. While fans often wonder if the franchise peaked with the fall of Thanos, Hemsworth’s latest insights suggest that the upcoming shift in the saga is poised to redefine what a blockbuster can achieve.
Thunderous Expectations for the Next Chapter
During a recent appearance on the popular Spanish talk show El Hormiguero, Chris Hemsworth opened up about his recurring skepticism regarding the franchise’s ability to evolve. The actor admitted that after every major crossover event, he finds himself questioning how the studio could possibly raise the stakes any higher. “The only thing I can say is that every time I go back to an ‘Avengers’ movie, I think it’s going to be the last,” Hemsworth shared, reflecting on his fifteen year journey as Thor.

Hemsworth noted that his initial instinct is often to assume he has reached the end of the road with the team. He admitted that he typically enters these massive productions believing the previous success cannot be topped. Yet the actor says he’s repeatedly surprised by the studio’s creative choices, explaining that each time he returns to the franchise, he assumes it has reached its peak: “that it can no longer be topped and somehow they get an absolutely spectacular movie.”
The good news is, Hemsworth says production on “Avengers: Doomsday” has followed this exact pattern of excellence. He described the project as a continuation of that high bar, noting that “this one happens to be the same.” His confidence suggests that the narrative shift toward the multiverse and the introduction of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom is paying off in ways that will stun even the most seasoned cast members.
While details regarding the plot remain under tight wraps, Hemsworth’s endorsement carries significant weight. As one of the few remaining original members of the team, his perspective offers a bridge between the classic era and this new frontier. If his high praise is any indication, the upcoming film isn’t just another sequel, but a definitive statement on the enduring power of the MCU.
