Chris Hemsworth has unveiled a fascinating revelation as he shared that Liam Hemsworth was also considered for the role of Thor, albeit not during the same casting period.

While conversing with Vanity Fair, the Marvel superstar, shared that he and his brother were both in talks for the role of Thor in the 2011 film of the same name.

“I was told I didn't have the part at that point. So I was excited for him, a little jealous maybe but I was excited for him,” explained Chris.

He added, “Then when I was allowed to re-audition, it was when he was out of the picture.”

The Extraction star went on to say, “So we never were neck and neck,” adding, “It was either I was involved, then wasn't, then he was involved, then wasn't, then I was involved.”

As the lie detector test progressed, Chris was asked whether there was ever a role from his brother that he wished to play for himself.

"No, no," Chris told the interviewer. But the interviewer instantly responded, "Not even the last song?"

This prompted the actor to chuckle. "The Last Song?" [Laughs] No, Chris said. "His life would be very different would not it?"

For the unversed, Chris played the role of the God of Thunder and Avenger from 2011 through 2022. His fellow cast included, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.
