Chris Hemsworth talks about legacy of Thor and his return in Marvel's Avengers Doomsday. Watch
The video starts with one of Odin's (played by Anthony Hopkins) iconic dialogues, where he recites the oath which is supposed to be taken by his son Thor, as a protector of the nine realms. Just as we see Thor rise up to the occasion, filmmaker Kevin Feige describes how they found Hemsworth and how he blew everyone away with his portrayal. 'One of the early decisions we made at Marvel Studios was to bring on Thor, and we looked the world over and we found Chris Hemsworth.' An old screen test of Hemsworth as Thor starts playing as Natalie Portman (Jane Foster) compliments Hemsworth on his attitude and the amount of work he puts in.

Other collaborators, such as actor Tessa Thompson (King Valkyrie) and director Taika Waititi, showered more praise on Chris Hemsworth, with Thompson calling him brave and Waititi recalling working with him in Thor: Ragnarok and how he just wanted the actor to be himself to make the character more relatable. A series of scenes from several movies follow featuring stars like Jaimie Alexander (Sif), Russell Crowe (Zeus), and Christian Bale (Gorr), while Hemsworth recalls the journey he has had while playing this character.
The actor captioned the video, 'Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honours 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!'
The fans will be eager to see Thor return to previous form after his last outing in Love and Thunder wasn't very well received, just like most MCU films after Endgame.

TV fame Karanvir Bohra , who has won many hearts with shows like Kasautii Zindagi Kay and Qubool Hai, is all set to entertain the audience with his new supernatural show, Aami Dakini. Karanvir will be playing the role of a mysterious professor in the show. The actor exclusively spoke to TOI TV, where he opened up about his new show, bond with co-stars Hitesh Bharadwaj, Rachi Sharma, and more. While reflecting on his bond with the co-stars, he shared, 'Both of them are really sweet guys. Whenever I go to the set, they call me 'sir,' and I ask them not to. Also, they are so hard-working it's great to see these Gen Z people working so hard. They are not taking things for granted and are working really hard. It's great to see people work so hard.' Moreover, he shared about his new show and how his character in the show is. He mentioned, 'So, when the production house called and said it's Aami Dakini Aahat, I was like, 'My God, this is déjà vu!' because I had worked as an assistant director on Aahat with Mr. B.P. Singh. For me, it was pure nostalgia, like, wow, what an amazing thing to come full circle.' He further shared, 'The funny part is, just two months ago, we had started making short horror videos of about two minutes each for YouTube, and suddenly, a big horror show like Aahat came my way. For me, it was a sure-shot yes. I'm handling two verticals, producing, directing, and even acting, so six days a week were completely blocked for this. I would even shoot extra to make sure they never fell short of episodes. I'm honestly so excited to be a part of this. '
