Chris Hemsworth's Franchise Roles, Ranked
One of the famous Four Chrises, Chris Hemsworth is unquestionably one of the biggest stars working in Hollywood today, mainly due to his time as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fifteen years ago he was basically just a soap opera star, performing on the long-running Australian series Home And Away, but from those humble beginnings hes become one of the most popular actors working in the industry. And while his filmography is peppered with fantastic performances in excellent features like The Cabin In The Woods, Rush, 12 Strong, and Bad Times At The El Royale, a lot of his best work can be found in the franchise projects that hes taken on.
The reality is that we currently live in a world where brands are bigger than any single movie star, and its a world to which Chris Hemsworth has adapted nicely over the years, specifically by taking part in a whole lot of different franchise projects. But how do all of those projects stack up against one another? Thats what were here to determine today through this feature. So sit back and lets take a journey through all of the actors franchise roles to date.
5. Vacation (Stone Crandall)John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldsteins Vacation takes a lot of big swings in its attempt to recreate the magic of the classic National Lampoon films from the 1980s and 1990s and to be blunt, most of those swings are misses. Its a movie packed with a lot of gross out moments and just straight-up mean comedy, and more often than not it just doesnt connect. At the very least, though, Chris Hemsworth does manage to get some laughs in the movie, and it did give him his first real chance to show off his legitimate comedy skills.
Audiences meet Chris Hemsworths Stone Crandall about halfway through the 2015 comedy, as the ranch he owns along with Audrey Griswold-Crandall (Leslie Mann) is one of the many stops made by the Griswold clan (Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Skyler Gisondo, and Steele Stebbins) as they continue their cross-country trip to Wally World. The central gag is that Stone makes Rusty Griswold feel terribly insecure, and its not difficult to see why. He is a popular weatherman ready to step up to the national stage, is incredibly handsome, and is much more of the typical mans man. Oh, and he has a giant penis that he likes to show off while strutting around in tight underwear.
Most of the jokes in Vacation get more grimaces than chuckles, but what few giggles there are to be found in the movie do come from Chris Hemsworths small supporting role. His weird obsession with faucets in his folksy sayings does successfully become one of the films funnier running gags, and he also gets one of the funnier reaction bits after Rusty decimates one of his cows by plowing through it while riding an ATV. This probably isnt one of the best moments from Hemsworths career so far, but at the very least it did start to show audiences that he was more than just an action movie star.
4. Huntsman (Eric The Huntsman)Chris Hemsworth carried a whole lot of heat going into Rupert Sanders 2012 fantasy film Snow White and the Huntsman, and while the movie isnt exactly one of the best titles on his resume, it did ultimately prove his growing star power. While the majority of the film was given a tepid response by critics and audiences, one thing that most could agree upon was the impressive charisma demonstrated in Hemsworths turn as the nameless Huntsman. And if you need any larger proof of this, its one of the few blockbusters in history that got a sequel entirely based around a supporting character.
We first meet The Huntsman (later revealed to be named Eric) as a drunken lout in perpetual mourning of his dead wife. He is given a chance at redemption, however, when he goes against orders from the evil Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron) and transforms his manhunt for Snow White (Kristen Stewart) into a rescue mission. Teamed with the fairest of them all, he is then able to help take down Queen Ravenna though as we learn in The Huntsman: Winters War, it proves to only be a temporary success. The sorceress returns in the sequel, teamed with her ice-powered sister Freya (Emily Blunt), and the adventures comes packed with the surprise reveal that Freya has been keeping his wife, Sara (Jessica Chastain), prisoner for years.
The two Huntsman movies are primarily failed by lacking scripts not quite worthy of the stars hired to play the roles, and this is particularly true for Chris Hemsworth, who really does shine through the material. As silly as the movies can be, he commits to the drama and the world, and is the MVP of both features. Clearly its not his best franchise work, but it did start to help him make a name for himself beyond his work for Marvel Studios.
3. Ghostbusters (Kevin Beckman)While Paul Feigs Ghostbusters is viewed as controversial by some, one aspect of the movie that most audiences can agree on is that Chris Hemsworth is hilarious as Kevin Beckman. Sure, hes a character so stupid that you suspect he might occasionally forget to breathe, but thats a massive part of his charm, as youre laughing basically every second that hes on screen in the film.
As they newly formed Ghostbusters (Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and Kate McKinnon) are setting up their new company, they realize that they need a receptionist to help keep their business organized, and they make the misguided choice of picking Kevin for the job. The man is certainly a pleasure to look at, but he is also dumb as a stump, and not exactly incredibly skilled when it comes to being an office manager. He does, however, have the occasional bit of insight, such as pointing out that an aquarium is essentially a submarine for fish.
Chris Hemsworths dramatic chops and action star good looks have primarily kept him more often playing serious characters in his career, but the Australian star also has truly awesome comedic timing, and his role in Ghostbusters arguably takes better advantage of it than any other film hes made so far in his career. And making it only more impressive is the fact that the role required Hemsworth to adapt to a whole new style of acting, as Paul Feig is all about on-set invention and improvisation. All in all, its a performance that demonstrates just how awesomely talented the guy really is.
2. Star Trek (George Kirk)Like his role in Vacation, Chris Hemsworths part in J.J. Abrams Star Trek isnt very large. Not only is he not in the movie beyond the first sequence, his character doesnt even survive beyond it, dying in a massive explosion out in the depths of space. Limited as the screen time may be, however, the actors time as George Kirk wholly deserves to take the number two slot on this list, as its fantastic and impressively memorable and arguably the reason why Hemsworth has the career that he has today.
Star Trek is a film that takes zero time throwing the audience into the action, as it opens with the Federation starship USS Kelvin under attack by a massive Romulan ship that emerges from what appears to be a lightning storm in space. As Captain Robau (Faran Tahir) prepares to leave his post and negotiate with the enemy, he leaves Chris Hemsworths George Kirk in charge, and it proves to be a remarkably intelligent move. While Robau is killed and the Kelvin is ultimately destroyed, hundreds if not thousands of lives are saved because of Kirks fortitude, as he is able to not only temporarily fend off the hostile aliens, but make the brave choice to sacrifice his life to ensure everyones safety a group that includes his wife (Jennifer Morrison) and newborn son James.
Though his tenure as a Star Trek captain is perhaps one of the shortest in the history of the franchise, Chris Hemsworths performance is one we remember every second of because the immense bravery and emotion that he is able to sell. Even if he werent the father of one of the most famous sci-fi heroes of all time it would still make an impact, as everything about the turn is impressive. And even if its a role that he never gets to play again, fans will always hold it close to their hearts, as it was specifically because of it that he ultimately landed him his greatest character
1. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thor)Did you really think any other role was going to take the top spot on this list other than Thor? The answer is no, because picking anything else would have been devastatingly stupid. In the last eight years, the actor has turned the God of Thunder into a cinematic icon, and even when the movies havent been as good as his performances, hes still managed to shine as brightly as the buildings of Asgard.
Prior to 2011, Thor seemed like a questionably property, as while the character had persisted for decades as one of the most popular heroes on the pages of Marvel Comics, Hollywood was unsure if he could be taken seriously by mainstream audiences. In large part thanks to Chris Hemsworths performance, however, that conversation quickly changed, and at this point its hard to believe there was a time when anyone questioned his worthiness to wield Mjolnir. The first solo film directed by Kenneth Branagh cemented him as a star, Joss Whedons The Avengers fully affirmed that he wasnt just a flash in the pan and the rest has been a massive part of 21st century cinematic history.
Perhaps even most impressive of all is the fact that Thors time on screen has only improved as the years have passed, and Marvel Studios has figured out how to best utilize Chris Hemsworths talent. Not only have the movies continued to lean more into the actors impressive aforementioned comedic gifts, but hes also gotten better and better with increased stakes and drama as well with the hero repeatedly losing all of the people in his life he truly cares about. From Thor: Ragnarok, to Avengers: Infinity War, to Avengers: Endgame, Hemsworth has navigated one of the greatest character arcs in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it has been awesome to watch.
Fortunately, it also would appear that Chris Hemsworths time playing Thor is not yet at an end, as he has said that he is still excited to take the character on more adventures in the future perhaps with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Only time will tell, but one can estimate that the Asgardian wont be departing the top of this ranking any time soon.
