Chris Hemsworth, the hammer-wielding Thor himself, recently stepped into the ring to defend superhero movies against jabas from acclaimed directors Martin Scoresese and Francis Ford Coppola.

Hemsworth, in a candid interview admitted feeling "bothered" by their "harsh" criticisms. He countered their arguments by highlighting the undeniable popularity of superhero flicks. "Billions" enjoy them, he pointed out, questioning if Scorsese and Coppola were overlooking audience preferences.

"We all have films that didn't work," he said, acknowledging their critiques but deflecting them. He further argued that movie theater decline wasn't caused by superheroes, but by the rise of smartphones and social media. In fact, he argued superhero movies kept people coming to theaters during that period.

Hemsworth also took aim at actors who criticized Marvel films after participating in them, mentioning Idris Elba and Christian Bale. He likened it to actors who downplay their soap opera roots. "Humility goes a long way," he said, emphasizing the importance of embracing past work.

The conversation then shifted to the "superhero curse," the risk of being typecast. Hemsworth confessed to feeling creatively stifled by Thor. This yearning for a fresh challenge is what drew him to the upcoming "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," where he portrays the villainous Dementus.

Brutally honest, Hemsworth admitted to boredom with playing Thor. Dementus, on the other hand, reignited his creative fire. He considers it his best role in over a decade, a stark contrast to feeling "stuck" as Thor.

Hemsworth acknowledges the importance of keeping characters fresh. While he commends "Thor: Ragnarok" for successfully reinventing the God of Thunder, he feels "Love and Thunder" leaned too heavily on humor and improvisation.
