ThorCharacter guide · Chris Hemsworth

Thor begins as a powerful Asgardian warrior whose reckless actions lead Odin to banish him to Earth. Living among humans forces him to reconsider what strength and leadership mean. Chris Hemsworth plays Thor across the films represented in this profile.

Watch how his idea of strength changes

Follow Thor’s responses to unfamiliar people and circumstances, not only the scale of his powers. His early story moves between Asgard and Earth, making the contrast between those settings part of the experience. The humor and spectacle are useful companions to a more personal question: what does he choose to do when strength alone is not enough?

Thor, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
