Choosing actors for comic book characters can be hit or miss. Generally, you at least want someone that looks like the character. Then you want someone that acts like them. The MCU has managed to do a generally good job with these character adaptations, but it’s not perfect. While there are many good ones, Tom Holland (Spider-man), Chris Evans (Steve Rodgers/Captain America), Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange) but I think the best one is Chris Hemsworth (Thor).

In 2011, Chris Hemsworth began playing the role of Thor. He would also appear in in The Avengers (2012), Thor: The Dark World (2013), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Doctor Strange (2016), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). Unlike the comic book version the MCU version of Thor doesn’t have a superhero alter ego. Thor was considered to be a more marginalize character before the well received Thor: Ragnarok. After this movie many felt that Thor was no longer a typical “meat head” character. Hemsworth both manages to embody the personality of Thor and manages to look like him, he plays Thor with wit and humor and that’s why I like him.
