Needless to say, Hemsworth is as synonymous with the MCU as Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans. However, his time as the King of Asgard may be coming to an end.
Recently, Hemsworth shared a video on his YouTube channel celebrating 15 years as Thor, along with a caption thanking fans for all of their support.
"Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life," Hemsworth said. "For the last 15 years I've held Mjolnir and then Stormbreaker as the God of Thunder, but what made it truly special... was sharing it with all of you.
"Your passion, your cheers, and your love for this character have meant everything to me. Thank you for making my journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe unforgettable. Next up, Doomsday!"
While fans can definitely feel the love emanating from Hemsworth, it has some thinking this may actually be the Australian actor saying goodbye to the character.
