>being a millionaire belevod by millions in the biggest movie franchise of all time is... a highlight
insane!
There are a lot of actors who live to loathe the characters that gave them fame and money. Mostly stage actors. Ask them for their career highlight and it's some play or indie movie. Chris isn't ashamed and is thankful.
This, just look at Harrison Ford. He’s a whiny ungrateful c**t
he was fine until somewhere around 2000 but i'm pretty sure he just rightfully loathes starwars fans and most indiana jones fans
A lot of his generation also struggle with getting old gracefully. My grandpa has become increasingly mean and more of an butthole every year through his seventies.
>granpa is mean....wahhhh
You ever think hes just disappointed in the shitty thing youve turned into?
Sounds sad to base your happiness on someone else, no wonder he turned out to be such a b***h
He actually likes Indiana Jones
this, I remember during a George Lucas celebration event all he talked about was Indian Jones and never mentioned Star Wars.
>he was fine until somewhere around 2000
he hated han solo since the RotJ
Ford loves indiana jones tho. Why cant star shitters accept their franchise is shit and blame Ford for saying the truth?
This. Hensworth loving the thor role is beyond based.
Why can't you celebrity wienersucker not accept your fricking heroes are dumb morons at best and per usual Epstein island tourist scum.
stage actors have to put on the same show hundreds of times over years. Hollywood actors just wave their hands around in front of a green screen and then collect a paycheck
compare that to Chris Evans, who couldn't wait to do "other projects" after Marvel and crashed hard
That fits Robert Downey Jr more.
I don't recall RDJ wanting out for more serious work or anything like that. I believe that:
>he was getting way too expensive per film
>Feige felt it was time to move on from his character
Either way he's on the back end of his career anyways and he has all the money he'll ever need. He was the biggest name of any of the Avenger actors before this MCU nonsense started.
no Evans had to be asked like 7 times to be cap because he didn't like the character and wanted to do stuff like snowpiercer
I mean, especially Early Captain America is the dullest role in the films. It's literally "le earnest handsome guy". Whereas RDjr and Hemsworth get to ride in the funvee.
RDJ basically built the MCU and fixed his career. He is also towards the end of his career so gives less of a shit. He gets paid to pretty much be "Tony Stark" aka himself, in anything, which means he doesn't have to do much. He does whatever he wants like small cameos or bad movies that only sell because he's on it, so they keep paying him. The only reason they wrote him out of Marvel was because he was expensive to keep.
Evans wanted to be something else and failed to deliver each time.
RDjr seems to want to be Sherlock Holmes (again) and it's not a terrible franchise. The Doolittle shit was pure terrible.
He doesn't seem to want to do anything challenging though. Or maybe he's just become to famous and large as Tony Stark to be considered for arthouse stuff.
Disney never failed to get good value out of him; he always added 4x the box office that they paid him.
RDJ is in that phase where he can get insane money because of mcu, but realistically he's not worth that amount in any franchise except marvel. He's going to end up doing a few more family friendly movies that are "supposed" to be able to get that kind of money and when they fail to live up to that he's either going to do something new or fade away.
What was the last movie in the genre of Doolittle that made top 10 money? You probably have to go back to Jim Carrey's ascendance.
Or possibly the Pirates franchise?
Unironically a great idea.
I want Johnny Depp as Mephisto. Am I wrong for this?
No, Mephisto is savvy. Pun also intended.
Its less about it being doolittle and more about it being a reboot of a popular movie starring rdj with high enough production values to assume it could have made money.
Same thing could have been said about sherlock holmes before that movie. Its not about past success and more about taking something generally well liked and known and turning it into a money printer.
I find the Holmes stuff watchable, but it's just not supportable to pay RDjr 20mil to be in them.
Entirely fair, but that is the trap RDj is stuck in right now. If he takes the 20mil then he needs to produce the next mcu, which is what producers are hoping for so ofc its what they're willing to pay for. And if he doesn't take the 20, then he's not getting 20 on his next job and he's out a lot if he does produce the next mcu.
>If he takes the 20mil then he needs to produce the next mcu, which is what producers are hoping for
I'm pretty sure most studios have come to the realization that they aren't going to bottle the lightning of the MCU again, and certainly not with "Doctor Dolittle".
Yeah that's my expectation too, but there's always another sucker out there. I expect it'll take one or two more movies for it to sink in.
>He doesn't seem to want to do anything challenging though
he's literally going to be in Nolan's Oppenheimer movie
Well good on him, last I'd heard he was doing a Holmes sequel.
>nolan
>challenging
>He doesn't seem to want to do anything challenging though
Years ago he said something to the affect of hating doing smaller movies because their productions are so disorganized.
Sounds kinda prima-donna-ish to me.
Fortunately for him he's got a hoard of cash, and if he wants more he can waltz right back into the MCU. He just needs to stay off of drugs.
I don't think it's unreasonable to dislike a chaotic working environment. RDJ doesn't seem to be one of those actors who wants to control production, so in that instance you just want to be able to show up to work, get a clear understanding of what your tasks are, and do it. I've worked for three different startups, and it can be miserable
Downey has the money and clout to produce and assign who he wants. Does he want someone to serve him up the role that will give him Best Actor? A lot of actors are waiting for that role.
Leo chased it for a decade, hard.
That's what I mean, though, he has the power but doesn't really seem to use it. That says to me that the executive side of it doesn't interest him. I assume he likes acting and just wants to be able to do it without the other baggage. Basically being a wagie with an exorbitant paycheck. Clock in, do your job, clock out, go home and spend time with your wife who stuck with you through the druggy years.
This is why I think he'll reappear in the MCU. It's a role he can do in his sleep, with zero physical demands, and he'll get rich and I'd say popular but I don't think he can get more popular in a role than that. If he comes back for Secret Wars it'd instantly add a few hundred million to the till.
>hating doing smaller movies
But that's literally his entire career up until Ironman1.
RDJ basically gave up on acting after the MCU. he hasn't done shit
Not true. He started his own production company and made a Dr. Dolittle movie that bankrupted him when it tanked
yeah so he has basically quit acting at this point and did practically nothing since being in the MCU. if he needs money he probably doesn't have any trouble finding work
Evans and RDJ will be back in 5-10 years for a 'mature' reboot of their characters, mark my words. Hemsworth at least knows what he is, he can age into Old Thor and bridge the future MCU shit to the inevitable Avengers reunion.
>2043 Thor remake with Hemsworth playing Odin
Chris comes back in 20 years for a gran torino style flick as old Cap
RDJ will come back as an AI or Ultron or something
no one's ever really gone
Didn't Tom Holland make a sudden 180 after NWH saying he didn't want to play Spiderman approaching his 30's? Hemsworth likely knows he has a limited range so props to him for being honest.
It's common for these guys to get "reluctant to do another" when they've bagged the most successful movie of the entire friggin year. It's a bargaining tactic for their agents to run with.
Tobey did this hard after Spider-Man 1.
Spider-Man is literally the biggest cash cow Sony Studios has ever, ever had.
>limited range
Or maybe he's smart enough to read the room. It isn't capekino that ruined Hollywood. Hollywood did a series of fricking strange shit that hobbled itself and overreached by trying to go so hard at global.
For instance, those across the world that liked some Hollywood shit liked it because it was. Now, we've got Hollywood going, "Oh, you're Asians? So, you'll like this rice, right? RIGHT?" The answer is "no." People liked the shit they made when they were just making shit instead of playing to the dollar the whole way.
i mean, did anyone know who he was before it?
Yeah he was fairly well known
No he was not.
Well, he was Kirk's dad for 5 minutes
that was his brother, the one who got cucked by miley cyrus
No it wasn’t. You just say shit without verifying first?
only Australians
chad-bro in cabin in the woods and military-bro from red dawn remake, and yeah kirk's dad.
12 horses or whatever that movie is called is pretty good, but he's just chad-military leader bro.
cabin in the woods ended up coming out a year after thor came out
he's great in Bad Times at the El Royale as well
sadly, almost no one saw that movie
That movie was not good at all.
That movie was so fricking fun. Genuinely don't get why it did so badly
It's more that most actors ar ungrateful fricks who b***h and moan. It's fricking odd every once in a while when someone is fine being known for only one thing. He tried to branch out and it didn't do to well, so I figure he's fine riding this out.
He's genuinely a talented comedic actor but he's too much of a gigachad to be thrown into just any comedy.
>He's genuinely a talented comedic actor
No he's not, stop falling for chads good looks. His Halo makse you believe he has any talent other than being attractive with big muscles.
Cabin in the Woods would have been most people's first time seeing him if it wasn't shelved for so long.
I remember seeing him on Home and away, and Im not even australian. Crazy to think how far he’s come
Hemsworth is based
That homie looks like Harambe now
>made him millions
>turns him into a household name
>pushed him into Hollywood fame
No shit, Thor is the highlight of his career
Being grateful for it and sticking with it makes a nice change.
And yet others like downey jr and evans left the stage. Why?
>i'm going to milk the thing that made me rich and famous
woah what a shocker
He saw what Chris Evans became after Captain America's run was over. Literally a voice over for a gay cartoon that bombed hard
best mcu hero is a white male
doesnt seem like a bad character to play honestly
there are certainly worse roles to be known for and good for him that he isnt ashamed of it like other actors
na shut the frick up. he could try finding a role that actually requires good acting skills
why should he if he enjoys it and is successful with it?
at this point, anything. fricking trannies on Euphoria would be a better role for him than continuing endless capeshit
Shut up gimp
He is basically playing the chad superhero
Seethe
You ever think he just enjoys playing the character?
Why? He is not a good actor
he can't act his way out of a plastic bag
he knows it though judging by OP's article
Why? Enjoy what you’re good at
And really it's 1-2 movies a year. It's not like it's the only work you can do on any given year.
Hemsworth is a better actor than the shallow, insincere Thor scripts will let him be. Dude’s got some pretty respectable acting chops. He played the role in that latest NetFlix movie to the hilt.
I agree, but he keeps showing up in shitty movies. He does a good job in them, they're just really bad scripts.
Watch the 2013 film called Rush, it's a legit great movie.
Refreshing that he's not in denial and wants to talk up some bullshit drama movie he made that nobody watched.
Culturally it's only a step or two below playing Superman, Batman, or Iron-Man at this point, and he's going to be remembered as the character in the same way Christopher Reeve is Superman. Every Thor after him will be compared to him for better or worse.
Is the same league as being Hugh Jackman's Wolverine or Deadpool. Is not a bad gig and if he doesn't want career about artist merit who cares? Not everyone wants to be some farthuffing moron critic darling
Yeah it's a big budget leading role. And honestly now that all the old Avengers are leaving he'll have more spotlight, further cementing his status. Good for him.

I know bro! T-Those fricking PEDOPHILE MODS at Cinemaphile banned me when I wanted to discuss the abortion laws. Fricking trannies who hate offtopic discussion, amirite?
I got banned from all boards for three days because I posted on Cinemaphile that I refuse to use any recipe that features "cups".
Cinemaphile mods are amusing. the board is unmonitored until the moment troony jokes drop and 'cado is on the log.
fricking lazy ass sloths
They banned me on Cinemaphile for saying that Radish is the Black person of the vegetables
I got banned from Cinemaphile for saying I support Chic-Fil-A because it makes the right people butthurt.
But it makes the left people butthurt so you were kicked... rightfully.
It's almost like he's unaware that "Trolling Outside of /b/" is literally on the report list of bannable offenses.
So I guess "trolling" now just means anything that makes trannies piss and shit themselves?
It means you specifically throwing turds around to gross out the girls for lulziness, yes.
Don't act like you aren't doing to create shitstorms. This place has few rules, and you just aren't smart enough to work within them.
or maybe jannies are just homosexuals
"Both" seems the obvious answer. You can't fix the jannies, so maybe work on your stupid.
or just evade bans? Why wouldn't you complain about the homosexuals who clearly enforce rules selectively however they want in a place that's basically the wild west. Especially when there's basically nothing they can do to stop you. Are you brain damaged? Maybe you're the one that needs to work on your stupid, especially your womanly attitude that people need to work to fit in when the standards being placed on them are totally fricking stupid. homosexual.
Oh you're ban evading? See you had it in you, so why are you complaining in a Hemsworth thread about being abused by Jannies you are immune to? Here.
I'm not, and I'm a different poster moron. Fix your stupid. Or don't, you know the really nice thing about this place is nobody actually cares that you're stupid and we're all going to forget within the hour.
I don't follow people's IPs, why are you even bringing your sore ass into this conversation? It's not even the topic. Go rage at the janitors somewhere else.

Wah wah wah wah wah! Go cry your hot tears at someone who cares, if you can find one.

I can see CH doing Cruise like action flicks and Mission Impossible type movies
Cruise seems to inject those productions with his own perfectionism and drive, and I don't see Chris hanging from the side of a plane during takeoff.
Not him but I agree with
Liking CFA isn't trolling and without context we're all wrong on this probably.
In case you hadn't noticed, that trolling rule no longer applies and is never enforced. Look at every thread ever now. Always shitposting and trolling. Used to be actual discussion and people went to /b/ with their funny ideas and shitposting and that's why /b/ was fun.
Actors like Errol Flynn, Johnny Weismuller, Gary Cooper, they all made great livings doing these sorts of movies, and entered the Hollywood legend, never to be forgotten.
Hemsworth justifiably will never lose a moment's sleep over not being some method actor or landing a role in a Scorcese Wop Drama for fart-huffers.
>Scorcese Wop Drama for fart-huffers
kek, based
The knife fight in Extraction sold me on Hemsworth, I don't think there's anyone else in Hollywood who's done a similar scene as well.
An actor with the easy charm of Hemsworth would have saved a movie like John Carter and made it a hit.
John Carter was near perfect. They just didn’t advertise it.
>John Carter was near perfect.
I agree Marketing completely bungled it, but that charmless git as John Carter, a southern gentlemen SO FRICKING CHARMING that "even the slaves worshipped the ground he walked on" ruined the movie.
No one wants their action hero to sulk through the entire goddamn movie.
I liked it, but my parents thought it was terrible, and they tend to be a very good metric for me to figure out if the general public will like a movie.
It has a good basic (classic) story, solid SFX, the supporting cast is A+, you just never root for the character of John Carter, who seems genuinely unhappy to be a Superman on a planet of hawt naked princesses. In the novels he was crushed when he was thrown off of Mars to Earth. But he was always optimistic and good-natured and honorable on Mars. Everyone starting falling behind his leadership because he was naturally charismatic. At no point in the novels was he this bitter drifter guy after the war. He (and a buddy the indians killed) went prospecting for gold to rebuild their lost wealth.
He's not even unhappy as the prisoner of the Green Martians, who are honorable but cruel. He's more intrigued and excited by his situation than anything. Once Dehah Thoris shows up he's fully invested into the whole Mars thing.
John Carter is a terrible right up there with Man of Snyder, for exactly the same reasons.
Why couldn't they just get a fricking Scandinavian to play Thor? I'd even accept an Icelander to play him. Not a Finn though.
Trist. Veldig trist.
It's capeshit though so who gives a frick really? They're not authentic so might as well be played by a Black person for all i care.
This dude has literally become a circus freak with that fricked up jaw and top heavy-build.
Nah he looks like comic chad thor. He keeps getting chadier.
>this role that guarantees millions of dollars per film for next to no actual acting effort and endless praise is desirable
yeah, no fricking shit
christ, why are these news blog sites running? are people really this desperate for celebrity gossip shit that they actually follow this site?
He was literally on Australia's Dancing with the Stars before he got the part
Jenna Louise Coleman could have been on Britain's version long before she was on Doctor Who if she wanted, but it's not like Emmerdale made her career.
She has no career outside of England. The skins actors for an example are more famous and regular work outside the US.
I'm surprised Diesney didn't kill Thor off yet, with each sequel Hemsworth must get more expensive. They got rid of RDJ and Chris Evans in one swoop.
if disney is smart (hahah), they'll have hemsworth become the leader of the avengers (or next three big events), where he struggles in becoming the leader.
RDJ and Evans wanted out though
Both of them wanted out, and wanted a graceful exit. Its for the best, for disney, because people really like Thor and Hemsworth is happy to just keep doing stuff. They cut pretty much every expensive name in exchange for a bunch of up and comers who will probably be pretty happy to ride out in the mcu for as long as they're welcome.
Hemsworth in particular is a good guy to keep around, because he's drama free, happy to be there, and while he does other movies none of them have been big enough to let him command a prohibitively large salary. He's a more popular version of anthony mackie and less expensive version of paul rudd. And disney seems to recognize this, since they're making space more of a central theme and they've shifted the asgardians to being those friendly neighborhood space aliens.
didn't he want out at one point?
Wait. Is this Hollywood signalling the move back to straight white males as leading men?
>move back to straight white males
I like how you try to finagle that "straight" qualifier in there so you seem more oppressed and less dumbass. Hollywood has had gay leading white males larping as straight for a century. And plenty of white male leads today, snowflake.
>the call that saved Thor
He legit could bring back the mid budget action flick for chuds. Just needs a director who knows his shit and a good script.
Frick off mutt
honestly refreshing to see an actor that's just thankful for the fame and fortune and willing to roll with it
feels like every other actor acts like appearing in these flicks is such a chore for their precious artistic souls
>BRO JUST MAKE CAPESHIT YOUR WHOLE CAREER BRO FUNKO POP RESIDUALS BRO JUST HELP WITH THE MURDER OF THE INDUSTRY YOU GREW UP WATCHIN BRO THE GREEN-SCREEN STUDIO IS ART BRO
If you ever did a hollywood gig you never cared about your 'artistic integrity'.
Artists don't go to Los Angeles so they can 'start they career'
That's the point
Put yourself in their places. Imagine yourself a real actor who was in real films, but now staring in nothing but green-screen goyslop Marvel shit.
>Imagine yourself a real actor who was in real films, but now staring in nothing but green-screen goyslop
Are you dissing DeNiro in the Irishman?
Really, anon? Comparing some scenes in The Irishman to the whole Marvel green-screen factory where you don't even see other actors because everything is assembled in post-production?
Yes, I'm comparing a role where he plays a cartoon of himself the entire film, with plastic bubbles taped on him like a fricking moron, so 3rd string Poo CGI artists can try to make him look 20 and only get to maybe 50ish.
Do you take a break from lurking in ALL of these threads, pretending to be Le Film Connoisseur, to suck some dicks? Is it your dick break yet?
Because for someone of your "tastes" its fascinating that you are ALWAYS found in these sorts of threads.
It’s only cringe if the actor is pretentious about their career. Or sold out after having a respectable filmography prior to their capeshite debute.
Why would gaining a rep in poor art-house films, then securing yourself financially in lite adventure movies be le bad? Sounds like a savvy retirement idea to me.
There is nothing wrong with that from the actors career perspective, but superhero movies are the junk food of cinema. So a bit of flak is justified for besmirching your career. I think bale doing this silver surfer thing is cringe. All the eternels A listers were cringe. Dwayne playing whoever the frick that bolt guy is cringe. And I will always respect Leo for not doing this shit
Oh frick Leo and his preposterous ball-licking of the Academy. He was born 40 years too late for Oscars to mean anything to anyone.
Again, why spend your time in popcorn movie threads if you despise popcorn movies?
My first comment was defending CH regarding his Thor comments. He’s an actor that got famous through capeshit and wants to stay doing it, that’s humble bro mentality. Just don’t act like the films an actor chooses to be in has no effect on how they’re perceived by the audience or public, because it does. The earlier these actors bought into the capeshit the better they look for it and they have the better roles too
RDjr was in movies for decades before the MCU, and came out the biggest star of the decade for it, and crazy rich. Affleck was already self-destructing before BvS. A-list stars near/in retirement have been facets of comic hero movies since Superman: the Movie.
I see you imagine some shame in them, but you're really just projecting your own biases there.
based
most actors would be too ashamed to admit that
Let's be honest, Hemsworth is charismatic but can't act for shit. He knows he isn't the next DiCaprio or Brad Pitt, he knows he isn't Al Pacino, he knows there is no McConaughey moment in his future, so, he just accepted this role and decided to take milk it until the end of his career.
>Hemsworth is charismatic but can't act for shit
This can be said for a whole multitude of Hollywood legends tho.
Name a few.
Arnold Schwarzenegger. Clint Eastwood. Ben Affleck. Keanu Reeves... shall I go on?
I agree with Affleck and Keanu, but Arnold and Clint can be kino from time to time.
Neither of them can act worth a shit. Sergio Leone, the guy who made Clint's career, famously said "More than an actor, I needed a mask, and Eastwood, at that time, only had two expressions: with hat and no hat."
Sean Connery is another example. He oozes pure charisma, but he cannot act a goddamn bit. He'll play every role as Sean Connery and damn the consequences.
Arnie made up for it by having a god tier eye for scripts and the clout to make them happen
Irrelevant. I'm not dissing on Arnold in any way. he lucked into two phenomenal cult classic movies. He made some real stinkers. His first Hollywood film was Hercules in New York and it was laughably stupid and they dubbed over him.
By the end he was "appearing" in sequel schlock.
His bad films were still built on scripts with some interesting potential. 6th Day is a bad fricking movie, but it's not hard to imagine a world where it had the same effect on the public's understanding of cloning that Terminator did for AI. Not trying to say he was a great actor, just that I think he distinguished himself with more than charisma
>His bad films were still built on scripts with some interesting potential
This is some next-level copery right here.
Hundreds of actors appear in scores of stupid movies that had a good premise on paper, every single year. Arnold lucked into some truly skilled directors, but he wasn't very discriminate about who he worked under, and it showed.
I think there's a boring/interesting scale for scripts that's separate from how good they actually are. I don't think most actors have an eye for interesting scripts, add I think most of their bad movies are also boring movies retreading the ground of whatever is popular. Like Morbius. Meanwhile Arnold's out there making flops about mpreg and cinematic metanarratives.
it's honestly criminal they didn't bother milking the comedy gold of Thor + GotG for one full movie before breaking them up
I don't give a frick about Thor. Rush and Blackhat are kino.
if only RDJ and that homosexual who played Capt America felt the same way (seriously he was awful in everything else he's ever done except Capt. America which he fricking hated on at every opportunity)
RDjr used it (incredibly effectively) as a negotiating tactic, and cashed out with it.
I 100% believe he'll be back in some future MCU stuff to buy his retirement island.
RDJ is kind of understandable since he'd been doing it the longest and I don't think I ever heard him complain about it. If you gave me the iron man or capt america role, I would never leave. that's money in the bank forever. I would wear the suit around town doing my shopping. I wouldn't take it off. No one would ever be cast in the role because I would be ubiquitous. They would have to pay my estate millions to digitally put me into their shit after I died.
RDjr was the first to make it pay the way it does. In fact I don't think anyone is getting paid like Robert did, unless the rumors of the Depp/Pirates offer is real.
before capeshit, RDJ was an A list actor. Probably one of the few who could squeeze out big money. Outside of scarjo, who else in capeshit is really big outside of it? The first hulk but then he only did one movie? Sam Jackson is a glorified cameo, the rest were never A list aside from maybe Paltrow who is in it with RDJ.
mcu would have probably flopped without RDJ bringing something to it. They cheaped out after that.
He wasn't A-list at the time of Iron Man, he'd burned a lot of bridges and it pretty much saved his career
huh i was thinking he did tropic thunder and sherlock holmes before iron man 1. he did a scanner darkly which was pretty good but hadn't done much big stuff
He spent a long time drugged out of his mind, and just wouldn't show up to jobs he'd booked, so it had gotten hard for him to land roles. I think Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was the turning point
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Natural Born Killers
The pre-drug stuff counts imo because once he proved that he was over his issues they were good roles to point to
>before capeshit, RDJ was an A list actor.
Complete schwarbage and revisionism. RDJ was a hot up-and-coming, and his sudden Hollywood "it" factor caused him to implode on drugs. He wasn't a huge A-list at any point before Iron Man.
You don't seem to understand what the term "A-list" really means. His pre-Iron Man stuff is largely forgotten, or secondary roles in cult stuff like Natural Born Killers. He fell apart before he could reach A status.
yeah, you're right see:
It's been a long time and I only saw capeshit mcspacesuit 1 recently.
>up can coming...
>Weird Science in 1985
>Chaplin in 1992
That motherfricker sure spent his sweet time coming up huh
Are we gonna pretend he was the star of Weird Science? His character doesn't even have a full name.
And Chaplin was an arthouse stab at awards.
Neither of these things make you any closer to being A-list.
None of those are blockbusters also who remembers JR in either of those roles? Especially Weird Science.
>RDJ was an A list actor
He was known for being drunk doing drugs and being arrested for a dui. He was never A-list until Marvel. He was in the same realm as Winona Ryder barely b-list.
This is true. Evans was a garbage actor and Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile made fun of the choice pre-First Avenger.
On-topic gemerald
For me it was this little flickaroo
isnt he famous for ghostbusters and playing a hacker in black hat movies? odd to sellout like this.
>knows that it’s all about money and miles, and not about arthouse smark shit
Maybe he really is fit to play the Hulkster after all.
/qa/ lost
I get what he’s saying
i can’t watch him anymore after they made him into a joke in endgame
He had completed his character arc and now only hackery and only flanderization remains.
If he enjoys it, I’m happy for him. He seems like a cool dude.
Although I respect people who quit while they’re ahead instead of beating a dead horse forever.
I wonder if he worries about legacy. They’re only going to make him dumber and more subservient to women.
We’ve gone from spoiled prince to well meaning unlikely hero to ditzy male bimbo.
>I wonder if he worries about legacy.
Do you worry about yours? He's famous, popular and well paid. He's clearly okay with Thor's transition from "earnest troubled God and 6th most popular MCU character" to "funny, navel-gazing dudebro who's now effectively the star of the Avengers".
I'm glad he's sticking around.
> Do you worry about yours?
Yeah. A lot. And my legacy is probably going to be significantly less important than his.
It’s why I don’t get it. Thor is pretty much universally liked but it’s already starting to pall. Why destroy the best thing you’ve done?
>Thor is pretty much universally liked but it’s already starting to pall.
Each of the films has been more successful than the last. He's gotten more popular with each MCU film. Where do you get this idea of "starting to pall"? I get that you HATE WOMY-IMEAN VALKYRIE SO MUCH, but that doesn't reflect on his broad popularity as Thor.
I do hate Valkyrie. She’s an irritating character played by a concomitantly obnoxious actress.
What I mean by “starting to pall” is that he used to be pretty much universally loved but since endgame a lot of his fans have been expressing discontent.
It’s not a sea change yet but if they continue to make him some clown to be smacked around by that nig chick and hershlag he will end up like McGregor’s Obi Wan
His legacy are hils children and wealth, not the movies. Wants you grow you should realise this.
All Hemsworth needs atm is a couple of Avengers stars that can stand side-by-side with him and form another trio. Pratt and company are really their own thing, and Slumberpatch is just Downey without the devilish charm.
Maybe they can finally raise up Rudd or something.
The only time people get hyped for a marvel movie it's about three straight white men.
We gonna pretend people don't like chadwick boseman before his death? Or the Olsen twin?
Nah, this was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pehF-9DmZdU
Imagine the kino we'd have gotten if he got to blow away chicom chinks in the red dawn remake instead of best koreans.
The peds are seriously starting to show in his jaw. He's starting to look like the uber chad meme.
A lot of respect for a guy who recognizes that it's a privilege to play a once in a lifetime role that is known and loved by all. Doesn't b***h about wanting to play other roles or the movies not winning Oscars or whatever, just glad to be part of something people love.
>Play a fun character that's pretty easy to start with
>Add some depth when you feel like flexing your muscles
>Be in great shape
>Earn a morbillion every year
>Interact with a crew and other actors that seem like good company
>Be beloved around the world
What's not to like?
the next arnold? he just needs to fight a predator in a jungle mano a mano.
I've only seen his scenes in ghostbusters, but he seemed to have fun.
Yeah I can't fault him for that. It's a probably a fun gig that runs on a tight ship so you never have to worry about delays or mismanagement. Lots of actors get pissy when they're only known for one role. Chris Evans was historically a bit of a b***h when it came to Cap but he's an obvious closet case anyway. Downey Jr actually quite liked Iron Man but I'm sure that's partially because he stopped needing to be the main star by 2013. You can see Holland already resents Spider-Man a bit and wants to do other things. Cumberbatch doesn't seem to mind Strange but it's obviously not nearly as physically demanding as Hemsworth's Thor.

Agent tactic
>and wants to do other things.
Endgame/FFH was the only year he had to play Spidey twice, and there was a gap of 2 years between FFH and NWH. He can totally do whatever he likes.
And the thing is, when you make a shit-ton for the studio, you can get a that major studio to green-light whatever vanity project or indie film script you want to make.
Affleck more or less signed on as Batman to get funding for Live By Night, whereupon he burned $75 million of WB's money to ashes.
I wanted to like this, but it just had literally nothing memorable about it
Its a reflection of Ben Affleck as a person, attractive to look at but completely uncompelling and shallow.
Cumberbatch is probably the inverse situation, where Strange is how he avoids only being remembered for Sherlock
I certainly try not to remember him as Khan.
Funny considering the loki actor said the same thing
Well he does play a really good Thor can't think of anyone I'd replace him with
Peak Dolph Lundgren but nowadays yeah none
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
He can play any action hero part and it will be good solely on the fact that it's entertaining to watch him trying to be something other than "The Rock" while being "The Rock".
The farther he tries to go from his turf the more entertaining it is. I wish they'd seriously cast him for some fart-huffing movie.
Blackhat was good but his accent not so much
Good on Hemsworth for finding his niche. He really lucked into the best role in the MCU, or at least the one with the longest legs. The guy could probably continue playing the character for another 30 years, when he starts getting too old to be the leading action star you just transition him into the mentor role.
