Thor Fans Think He’ll Die After Chris Hemsworth Shares Legacy Video
A new Thor tribute video shared by Chris Hemsworth has sparked rumors about his possible MCU exit after Avengers: Doomsday. The tribute highlights his 15-year journey as Thor and arrives amid ongoing speculation about the character’s fate. While Hemsworth is confirmed to return for the 2026 film, fans are questioning if this marks the end of his time as the God of Thunder.
Fans react to Chris Hemsworth’s Thor legacy video
Recently, Chris Hemsworth posted a video titled “Thank You! The Legacy of Thor,” giving fans a glimpse of behind-the-scenes clips from his time playing the God of Thunder. Alongside the video, he wrote, “Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life… Thank you for making my journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe unforgettable… Next up, Doomsday!”
The timing of the tribute, 15 years after Hemsworth was cast, has fueled speculation that Avengers: Doomsday may be his final MCU role. Marvel confirmed his return for the 2026 film but gave no update on his future.
However, fans are reading into the emotional tone of the post as a possible farewell. One viewer commented, “Got scared for a second that this was announcement that you were retiring from the character,” while another added, “I WAS THINKING THIS WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE THOR’S END IN MCU. Don’t scare me like that, Chris!!”
Others praised his portrayal. “Couldn’t have a better actor than Chris himself,” read one comment, while another wrote, “Ok. I thought this is like a farewell video. Need Thor 5.” One fan even called Hemsworth “our Asgardian Hugh Jackman.”
Rumors from The Cosmic Circus suggest Doomsday could be Thor’s farewell, introducing the Thor Corps and reuniting him with Loki.
There are also reports that Thor 5 may happen with a new director replacing Taika Waititi.
In a 2022 interview on Happy Sad Confused, Hemsworth reflected, “If I was [to return], I think it’d have to be a drastically different version-tone, everything. Just for my own sanity.” Back then, he also hinted at the character’s endgame, saying, “You have this birth of a hero, the journey of a hero, then the death of a hero… am I at that stage? Who knows?”
Marvel hasn’t confirmed Thor’s exit, but Chris Hemsworth’s tribute has sparked speculation that Avengers: Doomsday could be his final MCU film. He remains listed in the cast with Paul Rudd, Simu Liu, Tom Hiddleston, and Robert Downey Jr.
