Thescreescore – Marvel Cinematic Universe star Chris Hemsworth recently addressed a fan-made video celebrating his return as Thor, which inadvertently ignited a wildfire of speculation about the character’s fate in Avengers: Doomsday. While Hemsworth’s return to the MCU in the 2026 blockbuster is confirmed, the video, released in May 2025, sparked concerns that Doomsday might mark the end of his tenure as the God of Thunder.
In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hemsworth clarified the situation, laughing off the misinterpretation. He explained that the video, assembled by his social media team, was intended as a simple thank you to fans, a gesture of gratitude for their unwavering support throughout his decade-long journey as Thor. "It was a moment of gratitude," he stated, "and it wasn’t anything else. But it definitely got misconstrued and perceived in a different way."
Hemsworth emphasized that the video contained no explicit hints of Thor’s demise. His involvement in Avengers: Doomsday, currently in production under the direction of Anthony and Joe Russo, is confirmed, along with a stellar cast. The speculation, he explained, stemmed from a "lot [being] read into a little."

However, Hemsworth’s recent comments suggest that his time wielding Mjolnir is far from over. The question remains: will the God of Thunder’s story conclude with Doomsday, or will he thunder into the next phase of the MCU? Only time will tell. Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18, 2026.
