In just nine short days,Captain America: Civil Warwill hit theaters, kicking off Marvel Phase 3 with an explosive battle that splits the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe in half. Well, almost the entire MCU. Among the two most noteworthy exclusions from this adventure areChris Hemsworth’s Thor andMark Ruffalo’s Hulk, who will actually be teaming up together in next year’sThor: Ragnarok, which starts filming this summer in Australia. As it turns out,Thorisn’t too pleased that he wasn’t invited to this battle.
TheRusso Brothers Facebookpage posted a new video today withChris Hemsworth"in character" as the mighty AsgardianThor, who weighs in on which side he’d take, Team Cap or Team Iron Man. Thor wouldn’t pick a side, calling out his fellow Avengers Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) for not inviting both Thor and Hulk to join this battle. He went on to ponder why the two biggest and strongest Avengers weren’t invited, speculating if this battle is one where “the kids all have a scrap,” withThor and Hulksitting on the sidelines, calling their battle “pathetic.”
Throughout this video,Chris Hemsworthis seen seen doing pull-ups while delivering this missive, even going one-handed at times, while pondering whether or not he’s actually still worthy enough to be an Avenger. He puts this self-doubt to rest by wielding his trusty hammer Mjolnir, before “flying” away. It remains to be seen if Iron Man or Captain America will offer any response to this video, for leaving Thor and Hulk on the sidelines.
Of course, we’ll get to see both Thor and Hulk back in action next year when they team up forThor 3, which starts filming in Australia this summer. There isn’t much we know about the story thus far, but both Thor and Hulk have been rumored to be going on a “cosmic road trip” of sorts throughoutThor: Ragnarok. It has been rumored thatCate Blanchettwill play the villainous Hela, who reportedly banishes Thor from Asgaard, which leads to Hulk and Thor crossing paths and going on this journey.
As of now,Chris Hemsworth,Tom HiddlestonandMark Ruffaloare confirmed to star inThor: Ragnarok, along withTessa Thompson, who signed on to star earlier this month. We also reported thatNatalie Portmanwon’t be returning as Jane Foster forThor: Ragnarok, which is largely set in the cosmos with very little time spent on Earth. While we wait for more onThor: Ragnarok, check out this new video below, whereChris Hemsworthcalls out hisAvengerfriends for not including him inMarvel’s Civil War.
