Chris Hemsworth is one of the biggest names in the Hollywood industry now, but this was not always the case. In his early days, the actor appeared in many low-budget movies which did not bring him any fame. During this time, the Star Trek franchise gave Hemsworth his big break in the industry. Even though Hemsworth had a very small role in Star Trek, his role was impactful and brought him to the limelight.
Recently, Paramount announced the fourth installment of Star Trek. It was very unexpected for the fans as the studio has previously rejected any idea for a new film. Now, Chris Hemsworth says that he is very much interested in the upcoming film and talked about the possibility of his character coming back.

Announcement Of ‘Star Trek 4’ Brings New Excitement
The news of ‘Star Trek 4’ came as a new ray of hope for the fans of the franchise. Nobody was aware of the fact that there is actually going to be a fourth part, not even the cast members. Actor Chris Hemsworth played the role of George Kirk in the rebooted ‘Star Trek’ film in 2009. Thor actor revealed his excitement to Vanity Fair and told that will jump in to play George Kirk on the first call from the Star Trek team.
“There was talk about me doing the film with Chris Pine at one point, the script was put together and then it fell apart. But if J.J. Abrams called me tomorrow and said: ‘Chris Pine and I want to do it’, I’d probably say: ‘Yeah, let’s go for it’,” Hemsworth revealed to Vanity Fair.

Hemsworth said it was his role in Star Trek that gave him the golden opportunity to play Thor. He said, “I’d shot Star Trek and then I had about eight or nine months where I couldn’t get a job. Then the film came out and it gave me some momentum.”
He continued, “I had auditioned for Thor a few times but didn’t get a callback. I then had the opportunity to have another callback. Star Trek had come out, Kenneth Branagh had seen it. I do think it helped in many, many ways. I think J.J. Abrams and Kenneth had a conversation.”
“The initial audition I sent was with my mum and I, and my mum was reading as Anthony Hopkins, so I don’t know, maybe it was her read that somehow swayed the vote there,” Hemsworth concluded.
