This article will tell you about the top 10 movies in which Chris Hemsworth completely killed the role.

All of his films have high IMDb ratings, therefore we’ve chosen the top ten Chris Hemsworth flicks that we think everyone will like.
10. The Cabin In The Woods (2011)
This delightfully eerie horror film is full of shocking moments and passionate performances from the stars. Five teenage buddies take a retreat in a lonely cottage deep in the forest.
They are utterly isolated, with no way of communicating with the outside world, and are vulnerable to a zombie killer epidemic.
However, this is no average ‘Living Dead’ zombie flick, with enough plot twists and turns to keep things interesting. Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchison, and Fran Kranz also star. Drew Goddard directed the film.
9. Thor (2011)
Our first encounter with the thunder deity is not pleasant. He’s conceited, powerful, and always at odds with his fellow Asgardians.
Odin casts Thor out of Asgard and forces him to dwell among mortals in Midgard (Earth), where he unwittingly becomes one of the planet’s true champions.
Thor must strive to restore his powers in order to safeguard Earth from a new threat from his home realm. Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, and Tom Hiddleston also star. Kenneth Branagh directed the film.
8. Bad Times At The El Royale (2018)
A mismatched bunch of strangers, including cult leader Billy Lee (Chris Hemsworth), checks into an abandoned hotel where only a single desk clerk maintains the fort in 1969.
The action takes place over the course of a single night, during which secrets are revealed and alliances are formed. Jeff Bridges, Dakota Johnson, Cailee Spaeny, Cynthia Erivo, Lewis Pullman, and John Hamm also star. Drew Goddard directed the film, which is dark, brooding, and very terrifying.
7. Star Trek (2009)
It’s always a risk to mess with a beloved franchise like Star Trek, but this massive, sweeping homage pulls it off and adds a new depth to the Star Trek universe.
Captain Christopher Pike challenges Kirk to reach his full ability at Starfleet, which he does while annoying everyone around him.
However, a darker power lurks on the outskirts of the solar system, and Kirk must set aside his arrogance to lead the USS Enterprise to triumph.
Despite Hemsworth’s modest role as George Kirk, it’s a fantastic Sci-Fi adventure and one of the top films on any Chris Hemsworth films list. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, and the famous Leonard Nimoy all-star.
6. Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015)
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) creates Ultron in order to provide protection for the globe and a long-term peacekeeping program.
The problem is that Ultron isn’t exactly benevolent, and he has other goals that could lead to the destruction of humanity.
The Avengers must band together once more to destroy this man-made monster and save the globe and everyone on it.
This is one of the best Chris Hemsworth films on the list, demonstrating how he expands Thor’s character beyond the typical comic book hero interpretation, making him a truly relatable character.
The normal Avengers cast appears, as well as James Spader as Ultron, Samuel L. Jackson as the incorrigible Nick Fury, and Chris Evans as Captain America. Joss Whedon directed the film.
5. The Avengers (2012)
Avengers: Assemble is the Avengers film that almost everyone on the earth has seen. Originally named simply The Avengers, it follows Iron Man and the Avengers as they confront Thor’s wicked brother Loki and his extraterrestrial army.
A smart twist that pits brother against brother and Loki against humanity sets up multiple stories for future Avengers movies. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, and Scarlett Johansson also star. Joss Whedon directed the film.
4. Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
As if Thor didn’t have enough on his plate already, he’s now engaged in a deadly struggle with his erstwhile comrade and fellow Avenger, Hulk.
The fight sequences between the green giant and the god of thunder are incredibly enthralling to witness, as these two opponents are nearly equal in strength.
The confrontation with Hulk, however, is only part of Thor’s epically horrible week, as he also has to safeguard Asgard from the wrath of the almighty Hela, played excellently by Cate Blanchett. Mark Ruffalo plays Thor, Tom Hiddleston plays Loki, and Idris Elba plays Heimdall. Taika Waititi directed the film.
3. Rush (2013)
In this captivating biopic of F1 titans James Hunt and Niki Lauda, Chris Hemsworth trades his superhero cape for racing leathers.
It has been hailed as one of the best F1 films ever made, and it follows the rivalry between the two men during the 1970s glory days.
Rush was both critically lauded and well-liked by lovers of motor racing as well as people who appreciate watching anything starring Chris Hemsworth.
Hemsworth delivers a tremendous performance as James Hunt, with high-octane action from tip to finish. Daniel Brühl, Olivia Wilde, and Alexandra Maria Lara also appear. Ron Howard directed the film.
2. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Thanos’ single-finger snap determines the fate of not only the planet but the entire cosmos. The Avengers, who are used to dealing with massive intergalactic opponents, may have finally met their equal as Thanos seeks the six Infinity Stones, which will grant him nearly limitless power over all beings in the cosmos.
Infinity War is one of the best Chris Hemsworth films, with the actor delivering a sophisticated and very powerful performance surrounded by a stellar cast of Hollywood A-listers. Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Tom Hiddleston also star. Anthony and Joe Russo directed the film.
1. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
When it comes to big-budget blockbusters, it doesn’t get much better than this. Following Thanos’ terrible destruction in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: End Game is absolutely epic.
Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, and the remaining Avengers must reassemble to try to reverse the universe’s wreckage and restore equilibrium.
End Game is a true Marvel masterpiece, with heartbreaking performances and some of the best action sequences ever filmed.
