The Marvel Cinematic Universe is built on the performances of many iconic cast members. This includes Chris Hemsworth’s portrayal of Thor. His take on the character has been a part of the MCU since 2011. All these years later, however, fans are expressing their worries about Disney possibly killing off Thor.
The MCU has come a long way since it first began. As such, we’ve seen many beloved superheroes retired or altogether killed off. Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is one of only a handful of original Avengers left. Of course, now that the actor previously stated his desire to focus on his health, fans are finally expressing their worries.
After all, if Chris Hemsworth decides he should leave the Thor role behind, it increases the likelihood of Disney killing off the character. And fans certainly aren’t happy with the idea. As shared on the r/MarvelStudiosPlus subreddit, one user began a conversation about Hemsworth’s character being killed.
Here’s what they shared:

Of course, this is by no means an official confirmation that Disney would kill off Thor. It’s also not a confirmation that the character could even be recast. But if Hemsworth does value his health, there’s always the possibility that he could move on. In which case, we can only hope that Disney and Hemsworth would make the best choices for such a departure.
Chris Hemsworth joined the MCU in 2011 with the solo film Thor. The movie set the stage for his next appearance in 2012’s The Avengers. Hemsworth made further appearances in Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Doctor Strange, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Thor: Love and Thunder in addition to various short film appearances. He also provided the voice for the character in the animated Disney Plus series What If…?.
Chris Hemsworth is deeply tied to the role, so it makes sense that fans only want the best for him and the character. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Marvel news as we have it.
