Actor Chris Hemsworth, known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was honored with his own star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Hemsworth expressed his gratitude to his wife for her unwavering support throughout his career, acknowledging that none of his achievements would have been possible without her by his side [3b0a671a].
During his speech, Hemsworth did not make any religious references. However, some social media users drew comparisons between Hemsworth's remarks and those of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who faced backlash for incorporating his faith into a speech at a gala in Nashville, Tennessee. This led to speculation about whether Hemsworth would face similar criticism [3bb6852c].
Robert Downey Jr., who portrayed Iron Man in the Avengers films, attended the unveiling and represented the Avengers co-stars at the ceremony. Downey asked the co-stars for a three-word response to the question, 'What is Chris Hemsworth?' Jeremy Renner joked, 'Absurdly, annoyingly amazing.' Mark Ruffalo referenced a famous line from Thor: Ragnarok, saying, 'Friend from work.' Scarlett Johansson quipped that Hemsworth was a 'sensitive leading lady.' Chris Evans sarcastically remarked, 'Second best Chris.' Downey concluded by saying that Hemsworth deserved the honor and called him a 'Hollywood star recipient' [bd50ea67] [d528f44f] [98c9343e] [0cf32ff7].
In addition to the Walk of Fame honor, there are rumors that director George Miller, known for his work on Justice League: Immortal, is open to directing a potential Thor 5 with Hemsworth. Miller praised Hemsworth's acting skills and versatility, citing their previous collaboration as a positive experience. While Thor 5 has not been officially confirmed, Miller's potential involvement in the Marvel franchise could bring exciting new energy and opportunities. This news comes after the success of SKY HIGH, which led to the director meeting with Marvel Studios [6fde99c6].
