Chris Hemsworth has proven himself as one of Hollywood’s most versatile and charismatic actors. Best known for his role as the God of Thunder, Thor, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hemsworth’s career has expanded far beyond the world of superheroes. From action-packed thrillers to dramatic performances, he has captivated audiences worldwide with his range and undeniable charm. Looking ahead, the Australian actor has several exciting projects lined up for 2025 and 2026 that promise to showcase his ever-growing talent and explore new genres.
Here’s a look at all the new movies and projects Chris Hemsworth is involved in over the next couple of years.
1. Mad Max: The Wasteland (Possible 2025 Release)
One of the most highly anticipated films in the next couple of years is Mad Max: The Wasteland, the prequel to the 2015 hit Mad Max: Fury Road. Directed by the legendary George Miller, The Wasteland will delve into the backstory of the fierce and iconic character, Furiosa, originally portrayed by Charlize Theron in Fury Road. This time, Anya Taylor-Joy takes on the role of a young Furiosa, with Chris Hemsworth starring alongside her in a key role.
Although details of his character are still under wraps, it’s expected that Hemsworth will bring a compelling new dimension to the Mad Max franchise. Known for his ability to dive into complex and physically demanding roles, Hemsworth’s performance is expected to be one of the highlights of this highly anticipated prequel.
The film is still in production, and while a release date hasn’t been officially set, the movie is rumored to be ready for a 2025 debut. Fans of the Mad Max universe are eagerly awaiting the chance to see Hemsworth in such a gritty and high-octane setting, especially alongside a talented cast that includes Taylor-Joy and Tom Burke.
2. Furiosa (Expected 2025 Release)
Directly linked to Mad Max: The Wasteland, Furiosa is another key project in Hemsworth’s upcoming slate. As a prequel to Fury Road, this movie will focus on the origin story of the character Furiosa, exploring her transformation from a young woman into the fierce warrior who became one of the standout figures of the Mad Max saga. Anya Taylor-Joy is set to take on the title role, and Hemsworth’s role in the film has been confirmed, though much about his character remains shrouded in mystery.
Furiosa has created a lot of buzz, particularly with its star-studded cast and George Miller’s return to the director’s chair. While it’s difficult to pinpoint Hemsworth’s exact role in this story, it’s clear that he will play an important part in Furiosa’s journey, whether as an antagonist, ally, or another key figure shaping her transformation.
With George Miller at the helm, and the potential for intense action and complex character development, Furiosa is shaping up to be one of the must-watch films of 2025. Fans will be eager to see how Hemsworth fits into this gritty, post-apocalyptic world and how his performance complements Taylor-Joy’s as they both tackle iconic characters in this beloved franchise.
3. Thor: Love and Thunder Sequel (Possibly 2026)
Since his breakthrough role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Chris Hemsworth has become synonymous with Thor. After the massive success of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), Hemsworth’s return as the Norse god in future MCU films is almost certain.
While details about a Thor 5 or a sequel to Love and Thunder have not been officially confirmed, there is significant speculation that the God of Thunder will return in some capacity. Following the events of Love and Thunder, where Thor joined forces with Jane Foster (played by Natalie Portman) and explored the god of thunder’s emotional growth, Hemsworth’s next appearance could continue his journey, either in a standalone Thor film or as part of a larger MCU crossover event.
With new characters and a broader exploration of the multiverse on the horizon in upcoming MCU films, Hemsworth is likely to reprise his role as Thor in future MCU projects. His involvement could also lead to appearances in the next Avengers film or in crossovers with other Marvel characters. As the MCU prepares for its next phase, Hemsworth’s Thor will undoubtedly remain a significant part of the franchise, keeping fans excited for what’s next.
4. Tyson (Release TBD)
Beyond his roles in action films and superhero blockbusters, Hemsworth is also delving into more dramatic territory. One of the most anticipated projects in this category is his portrayal of boxing legend Mike Tyson in the biographical series Tyson. Set to be produced by Hulu, Tyson will follow the life and career of the controversial and iconic boxer, chronicling his rise to fame, his fall from grace, and everything in between.
Hemsworth’s involvement in this project is intriguing, as it marks a departure from his usual action-packed roles. Known for his dedication to roles that require intense physical transformation, Hemsworth will likely undergo a significant transformation for the part of Tyson, both physically and emotionally. The series promises to be an intense look at the turbulent life of one of boxing’s most famous figures, and Hemsworth’s performance could garner significant attention.
Given the complexity and depth of Tyson’s life story, Hemsworth’s portrayal could be one of the most exciting aspects of this series, showing a different side of the actor’s talent. Although the exact release date is yet to be confirmed, Tyson is expected to make waves when it debuts on Hulu.
5. Extraction 3 (TBD)
Another major action project in Hemsworth’s future is the continuation of the Extraction franchise. Following the success of Extraction (2020) and its 2023 sequel Extraction 2, Hemsworth is set to reprise his role as Tyler Rake, the mercenary who finds himself caught up in dangerous international missions. The films are packed with high-stakes action, complex fight sequences, and intense stunts, making them a major draw for fans of Hemsworth’s action-oriented roles.
With the success of the first two films on Netflix, Extraction 3 has been teased as a possibility. The second instalment of the series left audiences with more questions about Rake’s future, and it’s likely that the third movie will continue his journey in a new, high-octane adventure. If the previous films are any indication, fans can expect more heart-pounding action sequences and Hemsworth’s charismatic performance to lead the charge.
Conclusion
Chris Hemsworth’s filmography is shaping up to be more diverse than ever, with an exciting mix of blockbuster action, intense drama, and powerful character portrayals. From returning to his roots as Thor in the MCU to exploring new territory with roles like Mike Tyson, Hemsworth is proving his ability to take on any challenge in Hollywood.
