Chris Hemsworth Thor Avengers Doomsday Failed Franchise
Hemsworth is returning as Thor for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, marking another chapter in his long run with Marvel. But the article points out he's had a rough track record trying to break into other established franchises outside of the MCU. His sci-fi sequel apparently tanked and got pulled from streaming, then there was talk of a reboot. For what it's worth, the guy's basically made his name with Thor, so maybe that's where he works best.
ComicsBuzz Take
Hemsworth's box office appeal is almost entirely tied to the MCU at this point—his struggles elsewhere highlight how actor-franchise synergy can be everything in Hollywood.

"Thor's his lane and he owns it. Why does he even try other stuff?"
