Recently Chris Hemsworth sat for an interview with The UK Times and discussed his displeasure with the many stars joining the franchise at its high point and then taking shots after the movie received bad reviews.
Hemsworth said, “It’s, like, ‘They’re films that are successful, put me in one! Oh, mine didn’t work? I’ll bash them’.” He further said, “Look, I grew up on a soap opera. And it used to bother me when actors would later talk about the show with guilt or shame. Humility goes a long way. One of the older actors on [popular Australian soap opera] Home and Away said, ‘We don’t get paid to make the good, but to make the bad ones work.’ That stuck with me.”
He didn’t name-drop anyone however The UK Times mentioned Idris Elba and Christian Bale. Stars like Scarlett Johanson, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. have also taken a dig at Marvel. Downey took the subtle jab at the stage of Oscars. After accepting his first Oscar, he claimed what they did in ‘Oppenheimer’ was “important”. He also claimed he got more exposure after coming out of the cocoon of Marvel.
In addition to replying to such actors, Hemsworth also criticized top directors who have trashed comic book movies.
