Chris Hemsworth – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · January 23, 2026

Thor: Ragnarok is where his comic timing finally matched the material, Extraction shows the more physical, dramatic side, and Rush remains the strongest proof Chris Hemsworth was a real actor before franchise fame. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga gives him a gleefully unhinged warlord, Bad Times at the El Royale a magnetic, dangerous cult leader, Snow White and the Huntsman a brooding huntsman, and 12 Strong a Special Forces captain. Star Trek, Thor and Avengers: Endgame round out the list.
