The director of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga says he is ready to work with Hemsworth “on any project”.

Since Taika Waititi officially renounced Thor 5bets are on as to who can replace the director of Ragnarok And love and thunder and tell the rest of the Avenger's adventures. A fifth part that Chris Hemsworththe interpreter of the god of Asgard explained “duty” to the fans from the MCU:

“I got carried away with improvisation and madness, and I became a parody of myself. I missed the landing,” he recently confided, disappointed with the fourth opus.

To redress the situation, there is already a volunteer, and not the least: George Millerthe creator and director of the saga Mad Max in which the interpreter of Thor set foot by lending his features to Dementus, the big villain of Furiosa. Last year, George Miller had already sung the praises of his actor in a paper of GQ.

Chris Hemsworth blames himself for Thor: Love and Thunder

If Chris Hemsworth recently expressed his doubts about the evolution of his character, even comparing him to “the security guard” of the Avengers, George Miller sides with Robert Downey Jr. and praises his performance in the superheroic ranks:

“I mean, you have to be athletic, physically. But you also have to be emotionally and intellectually athletic to play these very complex roles. Any role, ultimately. So I was very lucky with my entire cast and especially with the way Anya and Chris adapted to each other.”

An admiration that Chris Hemsworth reciprocates. Invited to speak about Furiosa: a Mad Max saga alongsideAnya Taylor-Joy At the Comic Con Experience, the actor, who was able to experience numerous action film shoots, expressed a certain respect for Miller's method:

“When you're making an action movie, you're often trying different things and experimenting and trying to make the sequence as impressive and as big as possible. And you have B-shots and other options, which can be exhausting What was refreshing about working with George was that each image was necessary; it served the larger plan and message. therefore had no waste.”

George Miller in the MCU? This could redouble the motivation of Hemsworth, who declared to Vanity Fair in 2022 be “completely open” to a fifth opus of Thor, “if there is something unique, fresh and unexpected to do with the character and the world”. “I always loved this experience. I'm very grateful that I was able to do something different each time,” added the actor, an honorable member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2011.

While waiting to know who will really take the reins of Thor 5, Furiosapresented out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival, will be available in theaters on May 22.
