Chris Hemsworth, known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has swapped his hero’s hammer for a villainous role in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” Ironically, his costume includes an element reminiscent of Thor – a cape. Hemsworth humorously pointed out the cape’s color, saying, “And it’s red — or it becomes red eventually, as well. The absurdity of that.” Despite the unintentional nod to Thor pointed out by film director George Miller, Hemsworth relishes the new challenge: “The absurdity of it — to play the villain, transform, and inhabit a completely different physicality was a lot of fun.”
Anya Taylor-Joy, the actress taking on the role of Furiosa, inquired whether Hemsworth now finds capes burdensome, to which he swiftly responded with distaste, “Hate ’em. So impractical.” Capes often evoke memories of Edna Mode’s famous “No Capes!” rule from “The Incredibles,” which highlighted various calamities befalling caped heroes. However, despite Hemsworth’s disdain for capes, he evidently manages to make them look exceptional on-screen.
Cape aside, fans of Chris Hemsworth can look forward to seeing his portrayal of Dementus in the eagerly anticipated “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” which hits theaters on May 24, 2024.
