About this listen
Chris Hemsworth has been all over the headlines these past few days, with his career and personal life generating buzz in the entertainment world. The most significant news came on July 29, when Marvel Studios officially confirmed that Hemsworth will return as Thor in a future Marvel Cinematic Universe project. While details remain closely guarded, Hemsworth has reportedly expressed that he wants his next turn as the Norse god to be a "drastically different version in tone," signaling possible creative evolution for one of his signature roles, according to coverage on The Direct and IMDb. This announcement follows ongoing fan speculation about the long-term future of the Thor franchise and Hemsworth’s place at the center of it.
On July 17, the actor made a splash at the London premiere of his new National Geographic series Limitless: Live Better Now, with his family joining him for the event—a moment that quickly circulated on social media and drew praise for his stylish appearance, as shown on his official Instagram account. His brother Liam Hemsworth and Liam’s girlfriend Gabriella Brooks also turned out in support, further fueling media coverage of the Hemsworth dynasty. The six-episode docuseries is set for streaming premieres on both Netflix and Disney Plus on August 15, with teasers showing Hemsworth undertaking challenging adventures across the globe to explore scientific approaches to well-being.
From the red carpet to television commercials, Hemsworth is also back in the spotlight with a just-announced collaboration with Chris Pratt for Meta’s high-profile Ray-Ban Meta Glasses campaign. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, this commercial is scheduled to make waves during the 2025 Super Bowl and marks the first time Hemsworth and Pratt have worked together since Thor: Love and Thunder. Variety and Just Jared both note this campaign’s potential cultural splash due to its Marvel pedigree and star power.
Meanwhile, fresh headlines swirl around the rumor that Hemsworth is in talks to headline Disney’s new Prince Charming movie, directed by Paul King of Paddington fame. While Deadline has reported on these negotiations, Disney has yet to confirm his casting, so this remains speculation for now.
Despite persistent rumors of retirement stemming from his public disclosure of a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s, Hemsworth clarified to Entertainment Weekly this week that he has no plans to step away from acting. He explained that a previously announced break was simply for rest and family, not a signal of permanent retirement, pushing back on misreported claims about his future.
With his social media regularly abuzz thanks to both personal updates and Limitless-related promotions, and with new projects rumored and confirmed, Chris Hemsworth’s star continues to burn brightly this week, cementing his position as one of Hollywood’s most watched and versatile A-listers.
