Looking back,Chris Hemsworthsays he wasn’t thrilled with his performance in Marvel’sThor: The Dark World.
In a new video fromVanity Fair, posted this week, Hemsworth, 38, looks back at his career as an actor.
When reflecting on theThorsequel, where the Aussie actor plays the title character, he said he was not “stoked” with his performance in the blockbuster.
“I was a little disappointed in what I’d done,” he said. “I didn’t think I grew the character in any way, I didn’t think I showed an audience something unexpected and different.”
When it came time for the third stand-alone installment of Thor’s story, Hemsworth said he was looking to shake things up.
"WhenRagnarokcame along, out of my own sort of frustration of what I had done — and this is not on any other director or anyone, this is my own performance — I really wanted to break the mold," Hemsworth told the magazine of the franchise’s third installment.
“I said this to Taika [Waititi] and I think the conversation we had was, I said ‘I’m really bored of Thor.’ And he said, ‘Yeah I’m really bored of Thor, too,’ And then we decided not to be bored and any time that feeling came into play, we’d go in a different direction.”
He continued, “We just dismantled the character, we wanted to have him be a little more unpredictable, we wanted him to be a different set of circumstances than he had been in before and also have the humor come through.”

The actor said his relationship with the film’s director,Taika Waititi, helped him bring the character to where he wanted it to be.
“I had a great relationship with Taika and we had a great sense of humor and banter with us and I thought let’s make sure we cram that into this space,” he said.
Hemsworth said that in the scenes where Waititi, 46, stepped in front of the camera in the role of “Korg” the two would improvise together.
Despite the bumps in the road, the actor shared with the magazine just how much has has enjoyed playing this character for all these years.
