\t\t<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to picture anyone other than Chris Hemsworth<\/strong><\/a> playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n His portrayal of the famed god of thunder made him a beloved to fans of the franchise. However, he had to fight for the role, and he competed with some very big stars to get cast. <\/p>\n After making his debut in 2011\u2032s Thor<\/em>, the 41-year-old Australian actor played the iconic hero in multiple movies over the years. His most recent movie in the franchise was 2022\u2032s Thor: Love and Thunder<\/em>, though he made a brief cameo in 2024\u2032s Deadpool & Wolverine<\/em>. <\/p>\n Chris<\/strong> quite simply is<\/em> Thor now. But he had to beat out 10 other actors to land the role. The list includes some people who he is very close to. <\/p>\n Interestingly, one of Chris<\/strong>\u2018 competitors wound up making his own MCU debut alongside him in Thor<\/em>. Others have recalled suiting up for auditions. Chris <\/strong>himself admitted that he thought he knew was going to get the part at one time, and it was not himself but the star of another very successful franchise.<\/p>\n Scroll through the slideshow to see who else could have played Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Continue \u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n \t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
