Top 10 Best Chris Hemsworth Movies

Director Taika Waititi gave Thor humor and self-deprecation, and Hemsworth flourished. His comedic timing proved just as strong as his muscles. This installment saved the franchise and made Thor an audience favorite, lighter on his feet but also more human.

As James Hunt, the flamboyant Formula 1 driver, Hemsworth shows he can handle dramatic depth. His performance is charming, reckless, and emotionally convincing. For many, this remains his best performance outside Marvel.

Four films (The Avengers, Age of Ultron, Infinity War, and Endgame) in which Thor develops from an arrogant prince into a tragic, funny, and complex hero. Hemsworth grows with the material and gives the ensemble emotional high points. The series is inseparable from his career.

This raw Netflix hit shows Hemsworth as mercenary Tyler Rake. With long, brutal action sequences and an unexpectedly emotional core, this proved he can carry a real action film outside Marvel too. Parts two and three are now also available on Netflix.

George Miller's prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road gives Hemsworth one of his most striking roles. As Dementus, he's charismatic, dangerous, and larger than life. It's a memorable performance that strengthens his reputation as a versatile actor.

Originally shot before Thor, but released later. Hemsworth plays the stereotypical jock who naturally makes all the wrong moves in a horror film. The fun part is that the film flips that cliche on its head.

As cult leader Billy Lee, Hemsworth doesn't appear until late in the film, but he immediately dominates the screen. Charismatic and menacing at once, though bordering on theatrical at times. It's not his most nuanced performance, but it does prove he dares to play with his own image.

Michael Mann's cyber thriller flopped at the time, partly due to the unconvincing idea that Hemsworth would be a brilliant hacker. Still, the film isn't entirely without charm: the direction is stylish, and Hemsworth genuinely tries to make something of it.

A dark fairy-tale adaptation with visual spectacle, but rather messy in story. Hemsworth does what he can as the gruff huntsman, but gets somewhat lost amid the special effects and Kristen Stewart's pale lead performance.

The attempt to breathe new life into the franchise didn't quite work. The script was flat and the humor often fell dead. Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson visibly enjoy themselves together, but that doesn't save the film. Fun as a curiosity for fans, otherwise a missed opportunity.

Hemsworth voices a young Orion Pax who grows into Optimus Prime, in this origin story of the Transformers franchise.
