00:00Chris Hemsworth is still cringing over the disappointing reception of Marvel's Thor
00:04Love and Thunder. The actor looking back on the 2022 Marvel movie in a new profile in Vanity Fair
00:10said, I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness and I became a parody of myself.
00:14I didn't stick the landing. Hemsworth maybe being a bit hard on himself given the film's creative
00:19direction was largely driven by its co-writer and director Taika Waititi, who previously led
00:24the Thor franchise to what's universally considered its best film, 2017's Thor Ragnarok.
00:29Love and Thunder also still grossed $760 million at the box office, despite its poor fan reception.
00:36Hemsworth has previously said that Love and Thunder was too silly, adding, I think we just had too
00:41much fun. It's always hard being in the center of it and having any real perspective.
00:50Elsewhere, the actor talked about feeling creatively unfulfilled until working on George Miller's
00:55Furiosa with Anya Taylor-Joy. As soon as I got to Furiosa rehearsals,
00:59everything lifted. I just got reinvigorated. Suffering without a purpose is awful. Suffering
01:04with purpose can be rejuvenating and replenishing. I'd grown so tired of myself and now I had
01:09to lose myself in a character. The actor also reflected on wondering why he wasn't offered
01:14more roles from acclaimed directors.
01:15Why am I doing this film? Why isn't this script better? Why didn't that director call
01:19me for that? Or why didn't I get considered for this role? Why don't I get the call up
01:23from Scorsese or Tarantino? I'd begun to take it all too serious and too personal.
