We will see the charismatic actor, who stands out with his hero roles, as the main villain of a movie for the first time.
Chris Hemsworth, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thor, often plays bold, charming, and heroic characters. However, we will watch Hemsworth as the villain of the movie in Furiosa, the sequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, which is expected to be released in 2024.
Mad Max: Fury Road’s assistant director, PJ Voeten, said that series director George Miller was “in love” with Hemsworth, saying: “George saw Chris only as a courtesy at first, but later on, completely unlike his usual roles. He loved the idea of being the main villain.” Voeten also stated that casting for the other characters has not yet been made.
For now, two names have been announced besides Hemsworth in the cast of Furiosa. Anya Taylor-Joy will portray the younger character of Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron, in Fury Road. It is not yet clear which character Tim Burke, who is in the cast, will give life to.
Mad Max: Fury Road, which was released in 2015, was highly appreciated by the audience and critics; It won Oscars in a total of 6 technical branches such as production design, editing, and sound. Filming of Furiosa, which is currently in pre-production, is scheduled to begin in 2023. We know very little about the movie yet, except that director George Miller has said that Furiosa will have a different structure from Fury Road.
Although we have a long time to watch Furiosa, it is already exciting to watch Chris Hemsworth as a villain for the first time. Hemsworth’s journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with Thor: Love and Thunder, which will be released on July 8, 2022.
