AVENGERS: ENDGAME Star Chris Hemsworth Shares THOR Throwback Photo With LOKI's Tom Hiddleston

Believe it or not, it's been a decade since Thor was released in theaters, and Chris Hemsworth has marked that with a throwback photo of him and Tom Hiddleston as well as a news report that dated poorly.

These days, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston are among the biggest stars on the planet, but that obviously wasn't always the case. Back in 2011, they were relative unknowns, and it was Thor that put them on the map in a big way.

Believe it or not, it's now been a decade since the movie was released, and Hemsworth has marked the anniversary on his Instagram account.

"This year marks the 10th anniversary of Thor when two unknown lads were given the keys to the kingdom," he recalls. "It’s been a hell of a ride and we clearly haven’t aged a day."

As well as a throwback photo of both actors during an early table read, Hemsworth shared a screenshot of a 2009 news article from Vulture. The headline reads, "Marvel Rolls Dice, Casts No-names for Thor," while the piece itself ridicules them as "virtual unknowns" and concludes by saying that Marvel Studios hopefully put the money they saved on casting into visual effects.

How wrong they were, eh?

Hemsworth is currently in the middle of shooting the fourth Thor movie, Thor: Love and Thunder, while Hiddleston will next be seen in his own Loki series on Disney+ early next month. It's pretty remarkable that they're both still playing these characters a decade on, with neither of them showing any signs of slowing down when it comes to their place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Check out Hemsworth's throwback post below:

Can we travel to the parallel universe where hiddleston was cast as Thor? Maybe Hemsworth was loki. That'd have been weird.

So weird seeing Hiddleston blonde

Hawkguy - 5/12/2021, 8:29 AM

Man, I dont know if I'll ever get tired of watching Tom Hiddleston do his damn thing. I can't even imagine another actor playing Loki now, but it'll be fun to watch people try in the series.

It would be so meta if 'What If' did a Hiddleston Thor and Matt Damon Loki ep.

ModHaterSLADE - 5/12/2021, 8:35 AM

Yeah, Thor sure has come a long way since then. The writers have made him one of my favorite MCU characters nowadays.

MasterMix - 5/12/2021, 8:36 AM

I remember when they were both cast. Didn't recognize either obviously, but I did think they looked the part.

And now:

@IcePyke - Haha. Perfect

Menks123 - 5/12/2021, 9:20 AM

Wait, Shia was a final candidate for which one? Thor or Loki?

That is a weird one to think about lmao.

Menks123 - 5/12/2021, 9:23 AM

Also, I hope they both stay in the roles for a while. I know Hemsworth loves it so much lmao

Be honest. When you guys saw Thor in 2011 did you ever expect to see Hemsworth and Hiddleston blossom as the characters and become two fan favorites?

Razorface1 - 5/12/2021, 1:06 PM

@SonOfAGif - They kind of instantly became favorites to me so, yeah...

SonOfAGif - 5/12/2021, 4:32 PM

@Razorface1 - It took awhile for Thor to grow on me. He definitely had some better moments in the later films. Chris Hemsworth and Hiddleston carried The Dark World though.
