Last month, theAvengersactor shared another anecdote regarding the character revealing that his brotherLiam Hemsworthwas “almost” cast as Thor.
Speaking withMensXP, Chris was asked about exploring the Multiverse in future MCU movies and potentially interacting with alternate variants of his Thor character onscreen. He suggested Liam, 32, could be a cool casting.

“My little brother almost got cast as Thor. He was one of the first people who got right down to the wire on getting the part so, I don’t know, I could cross paths with him. That will be fun,” he said with a laugh about possibly sharing the screen with Liam, both as versions of Thor.
In an episode ofWired’s “Autocomplete Interview” in June, Chris recalled not getting a callback for the Thor role at first, guessing, “I think my audition sucked. I think that was the response I got.”
Then, he said,Liam took a stab at the audition— and got “very close” to landing the part, down to the “last five people” being considered.
“They were like, ‘Look, he’s great, but he’s a bit young.’ My manager then said, ‘Well, he does have an older brother,’ which was me,” said Chris. “I came back in, re-auditioned a few times and just had a different attitude. Maybe I had a little more sort of motivation that my little brother got a look in and I hadn’t. I also had done a couple of films in between those two auditions, so I had a bit more experience and confidence in what I was going to do.”
