Chris Hemsworth BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Chris Hemsworth has been making headlines on multiple fronts in the past few days. In the entertainment world, his legacy as Thor hit a dramatic milestone with Marvel Studios officially recasting the God of Thunder for certain animated projects. Greg Furman has replaced Hemsworth as the voice of Thor in the new Marvel Zombies miniseries, a move many fans saw coming as Marvel shifts some legacy characters into fresh hands for animated spin-offs. But fans worried about Hemsworth’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe can breathe easy: Hemsworth himself remains confirmed to reprise Thor in Avengers Doomsday, the 2026 tentpole that’s being heralded as the next massive crossover event, with Robert Downey Jr. returning as Doctor Doom and the Russo brothers back in the director’s chairs. This changing of the guard was reported by DisneyDining, and it’s being weighed as a major cornerstone in Marvel’s ongoing reinvention, especially as the MCU leans toward eventual X-Men integration.

Off set, Hemsworth has been delighting fans with glimpses into his personal life. On November 11, he shared a viral clip of couch surfing — literally — riding waves with his daughter and twin sons on an inflatable sofa. The playful moment, spotlighted by Parade and LookBerry, reinforced Hemsworth’s reputation as both a global superstar and a dedicated dad who doesn’t mind poking fun at himself for a family laugh. The clip quickly made the rounds on Instagram, drawing affection from followers and media outlets alike.

On the public appearance front, Hemsworth was photographed at the 2025 Australian MotoGP in Melbourne, enjoying the event with his father, Craig. The appearance, highlighted by IMDb and Just Jared, provided another warm moment for the actor, who’s never been shy about championing his family roots in Australia’s Byron Bay.

In business and film news, southeast Queensland has once again been buzzing thanks to Hemsworth’s high-octane thriller Subversion. 7NEWS confirmed the Gold Coast was transformed into a stand-in for San Diego as Hemsworth filmed party boat sequences for what’s shaping up to be a high-profile, internationally cast naval action thriller. Local businesses have reported a shot in the arm from movie activity, with sightings of both Hemsworth and co-stars Lily James and Joe Cole keeping the set firmly in the public eye.

Fans can also look forward to seeing Hemsworth in a different kind of adventure very soon, as National Geographic is set to premiere Chris Hemsworth A Road Trip to Remember on November 23, blending real-world exploration with documentary flair.

No major controversies or negative reports have surfaced this week, and speculation about further Thor crossovers remains just that — as of now, Hemsworth’s calendar is filled with confirmed work, family fun, and a blend of Hollywood action and heartfelt fatherhood.
