Despite Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as Thor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the anthology series “What If…?”, he hasn’t been seen brandishing Mjolnir in live-action since 2022’s “Thor: Love and Thunder”. For a time, it was uncertain when we would see him return to his role. However, all that changed once the majority of the cast was confirmed for the upcoming blockbuster sequel “Avengers: Doomsday”, with Hemsworth being the initial announcement. This implies that Hemsworth will need to undergo more Thor-style training, and fans are eagerly anticipating it.
The Russo brothers have announced Chris Hemsworth’s name as the initial MCU actor returning for the Extraction franchise, causing much excitement among fans about his return to the big screen. However, potential new co-stars like Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards and Channing Tatum’s Gambit could also join him in future films. Before this anticipated movie reshuffles the 2026 film lineup, audiences can first witness Hemsworth engaging in intense physical feats, showcasing skills more akin to MMA athletes rather than Gods of Thunder.
Take a look at the Instagram video from Chris Hemsworth, where he’s demonstrated some powerful strikes, including fists, knees, and elbows. (However, it’s important to note that these aren’t hammer fists, despite their fittingness in this context.)

It seems likely that the actor is showcasing both his promotional activities and fitness routine since he tags CntrFit in the post. He founded this company before the pandemic, sold it for $200 million in 2022 while still retaining significant shares. As for the heavy bag, I suspect it serves as a versatile tool for his overall workout regimen rather than a suggestion of potential fight scenes for Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s future.
However, upon perusing some of the comments associated with the post, I must confess that imagining Thor entering the latest Avengers film as a UFC fighter instead of a divine being is somewhat more entertaining. Take a look at some of the amusing MMA-related remarks his followers posted amidst an abundance of fire emojis and Thor GIFs.
- Is Thor taking on MMA fighting in the new avengers? – @cristiancoserphotography
- Think ol mate needs to get the UFC cage. Def do some damage. – @nate_smith_photo
- @ufc ?🔥🔥🔥 – @xalex.72
- If you’re ever looking for a Muay Thai trainer, I know a guy 😉. – @johnwayneparr
- Thor goes MMA on DR Doom – @matty.mcdiarmid
It’s possible that Robert Downey Jr.’s character Victor Von Doom could team up with Dana White, and they might try to defeat Thor through a UFC pay-per-view event. It’s also worth mentioning that the creator of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jon Favreau, played an MCU fighter on the show “Friends” during his relationship with Monica, although this information may not be directly relevant here.
Fans didn’t solely appreciate Thor’s MMA abilities, but rather, they were excited to witness the actor displaying aggressive action.
- Wouldn’t want to be that bag right now… 👊💪 – @centrfit
- @chrishemsworth Keep up the amazing workout. Boxing is one of my favorite workouts. I agree with @centrfit I wouldn’t want to be that bag right now either. It’s taking a beating for sure 🥊🥊 – @jennifer_l_kirr
- Your wife is the most secure woman on this planet and I admire the shit out of her – @brealross
- All I saw was heaps of kicking!!! Because those aren’t fxcken arms, them mfkas are whole legs!!! 😳🔥 BIG MFKA GANG!!! – @cj.bloomfield
- That bag is not worthy! – @mon_tical
- We also tenderise our bag of chicken this way. – @its_hip_to_be_wren
I’ll make an effort not to imagine Hemsworth’s bag as if it were a pinata filled with uncooked chicken, which I find challenging now that I’ve strung these thoughts together.
Without a doubt, the preparation for Chris Hemsworth’s movie “Avengers: Doomsday” wouldn’t seem authentic unless someone inquired about the viral scene featuring his characters crossing paths with Deadpool and Wolverine.
Why was thor crying?
It’s unclear if Chris Hemsworth will throw a punch at submarine crew members first, as suggested by his upcoming film’s humorous title. However, with Thor’s comeback on the horizon, we can only speculate about the sequence of events.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
