In fact, the 40-year-old actor was so well cast as Thor that he was seemingly born into the role. However, that isn’t the cast. He actually faced some stiff competition before being cast.
The actor began playing the Norse god in 2011′s Thor and has suited up multiple times since then. The last time he yielded his iconic hammer was in 2022′s Thor: Love and Thunder, which saw him reunite with original franchise star Natalie Portman.
