    What makes Chris Hemsworth so perfect as Thor is his seamless ability to go back and forth between being very funny and heartbreaking, which was especially the case in the Kenneth Branagh movie and Endgame.

    To think that Tom Hiddleston tried out as Thor made me chuckle. I think that Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were nobodies when the MCU was looking for Loki and Thor and they hired the two most perfect men. I find them both extremely attractive and they are both amazing at what they do! The god of mischief and the god of thunder I can watch til the day I die! I hope that Chris Hemsworth plays Thor till the wheels fall off.

    Cabin in the Woods was a pretty classic movie and I might argue it was more iconic than any of these save Thor. But I get why they wouldn't say it was one of his most iconic characters. He had a significant role but he wasn't exactly the lead. I'd be keen to hear what he has to say about doing a horror film though.

    You must be kidding me not including Cabin in the Woods!!!! One of the greatest horror comedies ever!!!

    cannot believe Cabin in the Woods was not on this list. He's so erstwhile in all of his roles; a certain genuineness to his characters that he's not afraid to put out there.

    There were many actors who were quite wrongly moved out of mcu what I have heard apparently this was a very apt casting and not purposefully pushed into or moved out✌️
