Summary
Chris Hemsworth has starred in several movies. However, he admitted that there was one actor that intimidated him.
Hemsworth had shown interest in the performing arts at a young age. His family has an inclination to acting, with both of his brothers — Luke and Liam Hemsworth — being in the same industry. He made his Hollywood debut inStar Trek(2009). However, he became a household name when he was cast as Thor in theMarvel Cinematic Universe(MCU). He reprised his MCU superhero role inThe Avengersmovies and is set to return to the franchise inAvengers: Doomsday. He also starred in fourThormovies —Thor(2011),Thor: The Dark World(2013),Thor: Ragnarok(2017), andThor: Love and Thunder(2022). Hemsworth also appeared in multiple action movies, includingExtraction(2020),Extraction 2(2023) andFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga(2024), to name a few. Hemsworth stars in the upcoming thrillerCrime 101and admits he is intimidated by his co-star.
Hemsworth was among the celebrities who were in attendance atAmazonMGM Studios' presentation at CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas on May 30, 2025. At the event, he admitted that he was intimidated working with Harry Berry in the film. In a joint interview with Berry on the red carpet, he expressed how he felt working with the Academy winner and shared his filming experience with her. According to theSpiderheadactor, some actors do not just bring out the best in their co-actors, but they also offer an opportunity to explore new ideas and “try different things” and that was what he experienced with Berry on set. Hemsworth said:
I’ve admired Halle’s work for many, many years. I was obviously very intimidated to sit opposite her within a scene and try and, you know, not just be in awe of what she was doing.
For her part, Berry praised theAvengersstar for standing up for her. TheNever Let Goactor alluded to something that happened on set and how Hemsworth supported her. She didn’t go into details but said the incident made him a “fan” of the Marvel star. “I knew right then I’m gonna follow this guy, be a fan of this guy for the rest of his life because he stood up for a woman. He didn’t have to do it and he did it,” Berry shared. From the look of it, Berry and Hemsworth enjoyed their filming experience together and would love to have a reunion project. Hemsworth is confirmed to appear inAvengers: Doomsday. There were rumors that Berry might also join the film and reprise herX-Mencharacter, Storm, since severalX-Menstars were in the cast announcement like Patrick Stewart (Professor X) and Ian McKellen (Magneto). However, theDoomsdayreunion for the pair is unlikely to happen because Berry said she’s “not gonna be there.”
Berry and Hemsworth’sCrime 101is definitely a must-watch. Aside from the two actors showing mutual respect and admiration for each other, both are into high-octane roles. Berry has proven herself to pull off action scenes in multiple movies. She plays an ex-assassin inJohn Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum(2019), a mother who relentlessly chases her son’s abductors inKidnap(2017), and a badass Bond girl inDie Another Day(2002). She also stood out in psychological dramas likeMonster’s Ball(2001), where she played a grieving widow navigating trauma, andGothika(2003), where she was trapped in her own mental institution. Berry is a great actress, so it’s understandable why Hemsworth is intimidated despite his own accomplishments as an actor.
Seeing Hemsworth and Berry together on one screen is enough to pump up your adrenaline, especially since it is a heist movie. There will definitely be cat-and-mouse dynamics between law enforcement and criminals. The film also stars Hemsworth’sAvengersco-star Mark Ruffaloas Detective Lou Lubesnick, who is determined to apprehend Davis (Hemsworth), the master jewel thief. Meanwhile, Berry plays an insurance broker who finds herself entangled in Davis' criminal endeavors.
