Chris Hemsworth Shares Tribute Video Titled "Thank You! The Legacy of Thor" in Possible Farewell to His Marvel Character — GeekTyrant
Chris Hemsworth has been playing Thor, the mighty God of Thunder, for over a decade. He hasn't been killed or chosen to change up timelines like many of his fellow Avengers, but with all the changes of the MCU, not to mention the upkeep it takes to maintain the Thor physique, it would make sense if Hemsworth was winding down his reign. We haven't heard anything pointing to that outcome officially, but the actor just shared a tribute video all about his time playing the character, and it does seem like a fitting farewell.
The video came with the following note:
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. 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!
We already knew Hemsworth was going to be returning for Avengers: Doomsday , as he was included in the announcement lineup, but could this mean the end of Thor? If so, I would understand, but I would also wish they'd have saved the tribute for after the movie. Either way, it's a fun little watch. Check out the video below, and enjoy:

Peter David, Comic Book Writer Who Repopularized the Hulk, Dies at 68
Peter David, who wrote millions of words of science fiction, fantasy and comic-book adventures, becoming a favorite of fans by making it clear that his enthusiasm for genre fiction matched or exceeded theirs, died on May 24 in Patchogue, N.Y., on Long Island. He was 68. His wife, Kathleen, said that the official cause of his death, in a hospital, had not been determined, but that he had had multiple strokes. Known for his puckish sense of humor and for elaborate plotlines that sometimes spanned decades, Mr. David wrote scripts for the television series 'Babylon 5,' highly opinionated columns for the magazine Comics Buyer's Guide, and dozens of 'Star Trek' novels. But it was with his 11-year run, from 1987 to 1998, on the Marvel title The Incredible Hulk, which began as a collaboration with the rising artist Todd McFarlane, that Mr. David left his imprint on the industry. The green-skinned Hulk, the muscular and rage-filled alter ego of the scientist Bruce Banner, had once been a flagship character for Marvel, even starring in a network TV series from 1978 to 1982. But sales of his comic had declined precipitously after the show ended, and the monosyllabic character was seen as marginal. By emphasizing the Hulk's menace and delving into the traumatic childhood that gave rise to the character's split personality, he helped turn the series from a basement dweller into a hit. Valentine De Landro, an artist who drew a dozen issues of Marvel's X-Factor (an X-Men spinoff title) written by Mr. David in 2008 and 2009, praised him as a generous partner and pointed to the afterlife of his work. 'Story lines that he helped build and concepts for characters that he developed from almost 50 years ago are currently being referenced and leveraged,' Mr. De Landro said in an email.

Everything To Know About ‘Stranger Thing' Season 5: Trailer, Release Date & More
STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, Millie ... More Bobby Brown as Eleven, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, and Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler in STRANGER THINGS. It's been three years since new Stranger Things episodes aired – and fans are counting down the days until the highly-anticipated final season. Here's everything to know (so far) about Stranger Things Season 5, including the exciting news that could be announced tonight during Netflix's TUDUM 2025. Filming for the final season of Stranger Things began in January 2024 and wrapped 11 months later in December. In an emotional Instagram post, co-creator Ross Duffer reflected on what it's been like to tell these stories for a decade and to watch the cast grow up around him. 'We've been telling this story for nearly a decade now. Many of our cast members joined us when they were kids, just ten or eleven years old. It wasn't just a show for them—it was a defining part of their childhood. They've grown up before our eyes, becoming more than actors—they've become family,' he said. The co-creator added that everyone involved in Season 5 'was determined to bring this story to a satisfying conclusion. They poured their hearts and souls into it, and we couldn't be more proud of what they've accomplished.' STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Finn Wolfhard as ... More Mike Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, and Eduardo Franco as Argyle in STRANGER THINGS. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2022 Netflix has yet to announce an official release date for Stranger Things Season 5, though the streamer has confirmed it will debut sometime in 2025. There's a strong possibility Season 5 will be split into two parts, similar to Season 4. (Volume One was released on May 27, followed by Volume Two five weeks later on July 1.) This is a common release strategy Netflix often uses for its most-popular series, including The Witcher, Bridgerton, and Emily in Paris. More details about the release date could be revealed during Netflix's Tudum event on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. (Don't worry – If you're not watching live, i'll be updating this story with the latest information as it comes in.) STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers and David Harbour as Jim Hopper in STRANGER ... More THINGS. Netflix confirmed via a cast photo that the main cast will return for Stranger Things Season 5, including Noah Schnapp, Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Cara Buono, Joe Keery, Amybeth McNulty, Charlie Heaton, Brett Gelman, Maya Hawke, Natalia Dyer, Jamie Campbell Bower, Priah Ferguson, Linda Hamilton, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, the Duffer Brothers (Ross and Matt), Finn Wolfhard, and Sadie Sink. New additions to the cast for the final run include Linda Hamilton, Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly and Alex Breaux. Hamilton will be playing a new role in Hawkins, though not much is known about her character yet. STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) David Harbour as Jim Hopper and Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven in STRANGER ... More THINGS. The plot for Stranger Things Season 5 remains tightly under wraps, but the next chapter will pick up after the explosive Season 4, Part 2 finale, where the Hawkins crew tried to take down Vecna for good. Max volunteered to serve as bait to lure Vecna in, while Eleven used a sensory deprivation tank to enter Max's mind and confront Vecna directly. After Vecna killed Max, triggering the opening of the fourth gate, Eleven used her powers to revive her, although Max remained in a coma. In one of the most heartbreaking moments from 'Chapter Nine: The Piggyback,' Eddie Munson sacrificed himself to distract the demobats and protect his friends. Though severely injured, Vecna managed to escape. In the final moments, Hawkins is left in ruins, with the barrier between the real world and the Upside Down rendered nonexistent. Matt and Ross Duffer told Deadline in 2023 that their goal for Season 5 is to 'stick the landing.' 'Characters are already going to be in action, they're already going to have a goal and a drive, and I think that's going to carve out at least a couple hours and make this season feel really different,' Matt explained. 'I'm sure the wrap-up will be a lot longer. It's going to be 'Return of the King'-ish with, like, eight endings. STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers and David Harbour as Jim Hopper in STRANGER ... More THINGS. The first teaser trailer for Stranger Things Season 5 is expected to drop Saturday, May 31, 2025, during Netflix's TUDUM event. Stay tuned to learn more.

We've Been Talking About How We're Getting The Summer Of Tom Holland In 2026. Now, It's Looking Like The Winter Of Florence Pugh
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We've been talking about how we're getting the summer of Tom Holland, with the English-born actor set to star in Christopher Nolan's Odyssey movie and swinging back into cinemas in the upcoming Spider-Man sequel. The summer of 2026 will be huge for upcoming movies, but if you're looking ahead a few months, December is already shaping to belong entirely to someone else: Florence Pugh. Not just figuratively, either; she has two major films landing on the same weekend. Those would be the Russo brothers' Avengers: Doomsday, and Dune: Messiah, both slated for December 2026. Go ahead, let that sink in. Let's start with Doomsday, the next big swing in Marvel's Multiverse Saga. Pugh returns as Yelena Belova, the no-nonsense assassin who's gone from scene-stealing supporting role to franchise anchor. With much of the original Avengers lineup gone or rebooted, Yelena is positioned to take center stage in a way fans have been waiting for. And with Doomsday reportedly setting up the final pieces of Marvel's multiverse endgame, expect high stakes, massive cameos, and the Midsommar actress is in a full-fledged action lead capacity. She won't even have time to take off the combat boots before dropping into the sand again, because she's also reprising her role in some of the best sci-fi movies of recent memory, as Princess Irulan in Dune: Messiah, Denis Villeneuve's next chapter in the sweeping sci-fi saga. This sequel is expected to take a darker, more intimate turn as Paul Atreides' messianic rule begins to unravel. And if you've read the book, you know Irulan's role is only growing. She's no longer just window dressing in the imperial court, but a political. Two franchise juggernauts. Two wildly different roles. One actress anchoring both. That's not just a scheduling coincidence, but a flex. Studios rarely schedule two major blockbusters starring the same actor on the same opening weekend, but the Little Women star isn't your average star. She's earned a reputation for elevating every project she joins, whether it's the unsettling indie Midsommar, action-packed upcoming Marvel movie tentpoles, or the prestige ensemble of Oppenheimer. Now, she's entering rare air: a bona fide box office force and a critical powerhouse. Come next holiday season, it won't just be Christmas, it'll be Pugh Season. And like the Barbenheimer phenomenon before it, we're about to witness a cultural collision. Call it DoomsDune, Dune'sDay, Doone, whatever the name, it's the event of the season, and fans won't want to miss it. So yes, the summer of Tom Holland is happening. We'll get the suit, the quips, the billion-dollar box office, and maybe even a Spider-Verse twist or two. But when winter hits, it's Florence Pugh's turn to own the spotlight. And with Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Messiah both set to dominate the cultural conversation, she could walk away from 2026 with not just the year's biggest hits, but its most iconic performances too. Mark your calendars! Dune: Messiah hits theaters on December 16, 2026, and just two days later, Avengers: Doomsday is coming to cinemas on the 18th. Don't miss out!
