00:00From Thor to extraction, Chris Hemsworth has turned into one of Hollywood's most sought-after leading men.
00:18Here are seven roles we love from Chris Hemsworth.
00:21Hemsworth rose to fame in Australia with the soap opera Home and Away,
00:25but one of his first major film roles was 2009's Star Trek.
00:30A small but scene-stealing performance, Hemsworth played George Kirk,
00:33the father of Captain James T. Kirk, played by Chris Pine.
00:37While he only had a few minutes of screen time, it undoubtedly left a big impression.
00:41I've medical shuttle 37 standing by. Get to it now. Can you do that?
00:44Yes.
00:45Everything's going to be okay. Do exactly as I say, shuttle 37.
00:48George, it's coming. My baby. It's coming now.
00:53I'm on my way.
00:53In 2011, Hemsworth starred in the sci-fi horror film The Cabin in the Woods,
00:58which follows five friends who go on a vacation in a remote cabin,
01:02only to fear for their lives and discover the truth behind the sinister place.
01:06We're going to lock this place down.
01:08He's right.
01:09We'll go room by room, barricade every window and door.
01:12We've got to play it safe. No matter what happens, we have to stay together.
01:15Then there was 2013's Rush. The sports drama was based on a true story from the 1970s
01:21and follows F1 race car champion James Hunt, played by Hemsworth,
01:25and his real-life rivalry with fellow driver, Niki Lauda.
01:29Why? What did you do?
01:31Nothing. Only what she asked me to do.
01:36Which was?
01:38I'd be happy to show you if you like.
01:40Next, we have a slightly different role than we're used to from the actor in 2018's
01:47Bad Times at El Royale, which follows six strangers and an employee,
01:51each with secrets of their own, who are stranded together at the El Royale hotel
01:55on a fateful night in the 1960s.
01:58Hemsworth played cult leader Billy Lee.
02:00What does God mean to all of you?
02:03Is he some being in the sky?
02:05Do you pray to him at night?
02:06Do you ask him to watch over you?
02:08Is he here with us now?
02:12Or maybe there is no God, huh?
02:15Maybe it's all lies.
02:17In 2019, Hemsworth starred in the fourth installment of the Men in Black franchise,
02:22Men in Black International.
02:23The actor starred alongside Tessa Thompson as Agent H and M, respectively.
02:28The two take over for Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as the new franchise leads
02:32who tackle their biggest threat to date, a mole within the Men in Black organization.
02:36Anything you want.
02:39Anything I want.
02:47Hemsworth was further able to show off his action star skills in 2020's Extraction
02:52and its follow-up Extraction 2.
02:54The Netflix film from the Rousseau brothers follows a black market mercenary
02:58who's hired to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned crime lord.
03:02And last but certainly not least, we have the role that catapulted Hemsworth to superstardom,
03:15his time playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
03:18Hemsworth originated the role on the big screen with 2011's Thor all the way through the Avengers
03:23films and his latest outing as the God of Thunder in 2022's Thor Love and Thunder.
03:29Hemsworth brought both drama and humor to the role,
03:32which was particularly raved about by critics and audiences alike in 2017's Thor Ragnarok.
03:38Hey! Hey! We know each other. He's a friend from work.
03:46Other standout roles include Red Dawn, Snow White and the Huntsman,
