Chris Hemsworth Revealed The Movie That He Thought Would Ruin His Career, And You Might Be Surprised

Chris Hemsworth is one of the world’s most recognizable movie stars. You know him from his role as the MCU’s Thor, and you’ve seen him in plenty of other things as well.

“I said to Paul [Feig, director], ‘There’s not a whole lot on the page, like, what do you want me doing?’” Chris remembered. “He said, ‘Oh, we’ll figure it out when you get here,’” he remembered. “So I said, Okay, why not? Let’s go.’”

“I got there, turned up to the studio the day before we started shooting and he handed me the script, I read the script and I said, ‘There’s still nothing in here. Like, what am I doing?’ And he said, ‘It’s okay, we’re gonna improvise and have fun.’”

He said that his “immediate reaction was, this is not only the end of my career but I’m going to ruin this film, I’m gonna let everyone down, I haven’t done this before, what am I doing?”

As it turned out, Chris was just fine (and pretty funny, too!) — and his career’s been rock solid ever since.

The movie itself didn’t fare too well, though: Ghostbusters resulted in a $70 million loss for the studio that released it, and a proposed sequel was scrapped.
