Will Chris Hemsworth Exit MCU After Avengers: Doomsday? Emotional Tribute Sparks Thor Death Rumors
Chris Hemsworth has left fans emotional after releasing a video titled 'Thank You! The Legacy of Thor' on his YouTube channel. The 1-minute 56-second clip features scenes from all his appearances as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), from Thor (2011) to Avengers: Endgame (2019), and beyond. The emotional tribute comes just as Marvel's next big film, Avengers: Doomsday, builds buzz ahead of its 2026 release.
In the video, Hemsworth says, 'Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. 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.' His words have sparked speculation that this could be his final appearance as Thor in the MCU.
Could Avengers: Doomsday be Thor's Final Battle in the MCU?
While Hemsworth is confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, fans are wondering if this could be Thor's final battle. Hemsworth ended his video with the cryptic message: 'Next up, Doomsday!'
One viral comment on social media read, 'Thors gonna get obliterated by Doom in the first 10 minutes of Doomsday, isn't he??' Others echoed similar thoughts, suggesting that Hemsworth may have already wrapped his final scene.
The upcoming Avengers: Doomsday will be directed by MCU veterans Anthony and Joe Russo and is set for release on December 18, 2026. The film will feature a star-studded cast, including Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, and Letitia Wright as Black Panther.
Chris Hemsworth has played Thor since 2011, becoming one of the MCU's most beloved and enduring characters. Over the years, he brought a unique blend of strength, humor, and heart to the role, helping redefine the superhero genre.
In past interviews, Hemsworth has hinted that Thor's story could soon come to an end. 'I feel like we'd probably have to close the book if I ever did it again,' he once said. 'You have this birth of a hero, the journey of a hero, then the death of a hero, and I don't know...am I at that stage? Who knows?'
Despite rumors of Thor's death, some fans believe Hemsworth could return in Avengers: Secret Wars, which is scheduled for release on December 17, 2027. Like Doomsday, it will also be directed by the Russo brothers.

'Ee Sala Cup Namde': Former owner Vijay Mallya leads tributes after RCB's historic IPL win
RCB players with the IPL trophy; former owner Vijay Mallya NEW DELHI: The long wait is finally over — and no one felt the moment more than Vijay Mallya , the first-ever owner of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). As the team lifted its maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy after 18 years of heartbreak, Mallya led a flood of emotional tributes from fans and cricketing greats across the world. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'RCB are IPL Champions finally after 18 years,' Mallya posted on X. 'Superb campaign right through the 2025 tournament. A well-balanced team Playing Bold with outstanding coaching and support staff. Many congratulations! Ee sala cup namde!!' The words struck a nostalgic chord with long-time fans who have stood by the team through highs and mostly lows. Mallya, who owned the franchise during its formative years, had overseen iconic player signings and RCB's early struggles — including three painful final defeats in 2009, 2011, and 2016. His post captured the raw emotion of finally seeing RCB cross the finish line. It wasn't just Mallya. The entire IPL fraternity stood united in applauding RCB's long-awaited triumph. Mumbai Indians, five-time champions, posted: 'Congratulations to the NEW #TATAIPL Champions, @RCBTweets. A strong & memorable campaign.' Chennai Super Kings, known for their fierce rivalry with RCB, also shared their respect: 'Congratulations, @RCBTweets! #IPL2025Final #WhistlePodu.' Kolkata Knight Riders summed it up best: 'EE SALA CUP NIMDE, CONGRATULATIONS.' Even Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants, and Rajasthan Royals joined in, celebrating the emotional breakthrough on social media with messages, videos, and memes. Virat Kohli (IPL Photo) But for Virat Kohli , the moment was personal. The RCB talisman, who's carried the team's hopes for nearly two decades, dropped to his knees in tears after the 6-run win over Punjab Kings. The image of Kohli overwhelmed with emotion perfectly symbolised the end of an era of waiting — and the beginning of a legacy fulfilled.

No more early morning shows for big-ticket Tamil films even outside TN
Chennai: There will be no more 4.30am release of Tamil films even outside the state. Tamil Nadu stopped early morning release of big budget films in 2023 when a fan died in a stampede at 'Thunivu' screening. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Yet, producers continued to have releases at 4.30am in other states, while keeping the 9am show as the first show within Tamil Nadu. Now, big-ticket films, including Kamal Hassan's ;Thug Life;, will only hit screens from 9am onwards. Producers blame poor security in neighbouring states, rising theatre vandalism, low booking commissions for theatres, and paid reviews before release, affecting the bookings adversely. Even Ajith's Good Badly Ugly and Suriya's Retro had only 9 am releases. S R Prabhu, producer with Dream Warrior Pictures, said early morning shows are getting regulated in all states. "It's a challenge to secure police security for such early shows in other states. Fans come in craze, and mishaps tend to happen. So, many prefer not to have such shows early in the day," he said. Prabhu mentioned that paid influencers and YouTube reviewers who attend such shows give exaggerated reviews, both positive and negative, for reach. "So, even before a movie is released, it affects the booking. We just want people to directly view the show instead of getting influenced by such reviews," he said. Thiruppur Kumaran, representing Tamil Nadu Theater and Multiplex Owners Association, said fans come drunk and end up vandalising the seats and screens. "We cannot control the frenzy on such occasions. It's better to have morning shows," he said. People from Coimbatore mostly go to Kerala to watch, while those in Krishnagiri go to Bengaluru. Fans from Chennai go to Nagari in Andhra Pradesh to catch early shows. Prabhu also added that when fan clubs book in bulk, theatres don't get booking commissions.

Ludhiana West bypoll in Punjab: Bharat Bhushan Ashu team creates social media content using emotions not professionals.
Ludhiana: In an election season where parties burn through lakhs to craft viral content, Congress candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu is taking a different route — relying on a team of loyal supporters, not professional consultants, to power his online campaign. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A group of seven long-time associates, most of whom learned social media tricks from YouTube, have taken charge of Ashu's digital presence — producing catchy songs and satirical videos aimed at his political opponents, all free of charge. Among the group's recent viral hits are songs skewering Aam Aadmi Party candidate Sanjeev Arora and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal. With lyrics like "Arora nai si ladna chaunda, dhakke naal ladaya ae" and "Nai kursi deyange, sara le jawage Delhi nu maal", the content has gained traction locally for its colloquial punch and emotional tone. Only one team member — editor Narinder Singh — is a professional. The rest, including Jassi Sekhon, Tarun Sharma, Sunny Juneja, Bobby Singla, Anup Singh, and Sunny Thakur, contribute as lyricists, composers, and content planners, all without pay. "We've been with Ashu ji since 2012. He's like an elder brother," said Sekhon. "Social media has changed the political game, and we're simply using what we've learned to support him. " Tarun Sharma added that their efforts are powered more by sentiment than strategy. "We aren't professionals, but we believe heartfelt content cuts through better than polished campaigns," he said. Ashu acknowledged that his party had initially considered hiring professionals, but chose to stick with his old team. "These are people I've built relationships with over the years. They're doing this purely out of emotion, and I value that more than any agency," he said. While other campaigns flaunt costly creatives and influencer tie-ups, Ashu's strategy underscores a grassroots approach to digital campaigning — one built not on budgets, but bonds.
