Born on August 11, 1983, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, the 42-year-old actor stands at 191 cm tall and works across multiple disciplines as a model, television actor, and film actor. Before dominating the global box office, fans watching early TV shows with Chris Hemsworth knew him best as Kim Hyde on the Australian soap opera Home and Away, a role he played from 2004 to 2007. His career eventually skyrocketed when he was cast as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is set to reprise this iconic superhero role in Marvel Studios' highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, which features an approximate running time of 165 minutes and is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 18, 2026.
For audiences seeking a gritty new movie with Chris Hemsworth, early 2026 delivered the crime thriller Crime 101. Directed by Bart Layton, this 140-minute film premiered in London on January 28, 2026. It subsequently hit U.S. theaters on February 13, 2026, before becoming available for streaming on Prime Video on April 1, 2026. Hemsworth starred alongside an acclaimed cast that included Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Halle Berry. Despite the star-studded ensemble and high expectations, the film struggled financially during its theatrical run, grossing only $72.9 million worldwide against a substantial $90 million production budget.
Hemsworth's 2026 schedule remains incredibly busy with major productions based in his home country of Australia. He recently took over the lead role from Channing Tatum in the Matt Ross-directed crime thriller Kockroach, which officially wrapped filming in Sydney on May 31, 2026. This production provided a significant boost to New South Wales; supported by the Made in NSW Fund, the project created over 600 jobs and contributed an estimated $37 million to the state's economy. Shortly after completing that project, in July 2026, he officially began filming Extraction 3 in New South Wales, returning to his popular action role as the mercenary Tyler Rake.
Beyond his on-screen acting roles, Hemsworth is actively expanding his footprint as a producer through his company, Wild State, which he co-founded with Ben Grayson. In May 2026, Wild State secured an exclusive partnership with the Tatts Finke Desert Race. The collaboration aims to develop a narrative feature film starring Hemsworth centered around the grueling 460-kilometer off-road race. While exact release dates for this racing project, the crime thriller Kockroach, and the action sequel Extraction 3 remain unannounced, his diverse slate as both an actor and producer ensures a steady stream of upcoming cinematic content for his global fanbase.
