It’s no secret that the MCU is the ultimate meaning of cinematic commercial success in the world, with a total valuation of almost $30 billion in the span of a decade and a half. Thus, stars like Chris Hemsworth, who have stuck with the franchise from the early days, have reaped the benefits of their labor in creating the most successful cinematic franchise in history.
As stated above, the star has been an integral part of the journey from the initial days of the MCU, which means he was there when it had not even touched its full potential. Thus, when people learn what Hemsworth made for his original appearance as Thor in the franchise in 2011 compared to what he made inThor: Love and Thunder, they are shocked, to say the least.
Chris Hemsworth Made Nothing ForThorCompared To The Millions InThor: Love and Thunder
It’s quite hard to imagine anyone playing the role of the Norse God of Thunder in the MCU other thanChris Hemsworth, which is a testament to the great work that he has done over the years by playing the character for more than a decade since 2011’sThor. Today, the superhero has become an inseparable part of the franchise and will continue to be for a long time in the future.
Thus, it might be almost unbelievable to hear that for his first appearance as the Asgardian in the franchise, theExtractionstar was paid a total of $150,000. This might be a lot of money, but compared to what he is offered today at the minimum, this might almost feel like a chump change. But keep in mind that Marvel Studios wasn’t as litigious as it is today, and Hemsworth wasn’t as big a star back then.
In fact, playing the role of Thor in the MCU is the reason why the whole world reveres him so much in recent times, which has also incentivized the company to retain him. Thus, for his most recent rodeo as one of the original Avengers inThor: Love and Thunder, Marvel Studios paid him a whopping $20 Million, an amount that’s worthy of the star’s fame and reputation.
At the moment, the star sits at the top of Hollywood with other major names in the industry with a net worth of $130 million.
What’s Next For Chris Hemsworth?
With such a diversified resume following the exploration of his acting career outside the MCU, Hemsworth has a lot on his plate in the future.
In the near future, we will be seeing the star playing an atypical role of a cynical tyrant named Dementus in the upcomingMad Max: Fury Roadprequel film namedFuriosa: A Mad Max Sagaalongside Anya Taylor-Joy as the titular character. Apart from that, there have been reports that suggest he will be reprising his role as Thor in the MCU, possibly for the pre-revealedAvengers: Secret Wars.
