Aside from his brief cameo in Doctor Strange, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen Thor play a major role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Chris Hemsworth hasn’t let us forget the God of Thunder in the lead up to Thor: Ragnarok. After releasing two hilarious skits with Thor and his ordinary roommate, Daryl, Hemsworth is now on the set of Avengers: Infinity War. But he’s still finding humor in Thor’s exclusion from Captain America: Civil War.
In a video posted to his Facebook page, Hemsworth comes across a wide assortment of Marvel action figures that he describes as a “secret Avengers rehearsal.” However, Hemsworth is jokingly put out by the lack of a Thor figure so he calls upon Mjolnir and dispenses a little pain to the Marvel toys that vaguely resemble his co-stars. And his description of Hawkeye’s action figure is particularly funny.

It’s a nice touch that the video includes the Mjolnir sound effects, and there are a handful of Avengers who don’t meet the business end of Thor’s hammer. Winter Soldier and Falcon make it through intact, while Hemsworth claims the Hulk figure is his “mate” and walks off with it when he’s finished.
While Thor is actually quite funny in the MCU, these short films have allowed Hemsworth to show off some of the comedic chops he previously displayed in Vacation and the Ghostbusters reboot. Because Thor: Ragnarok is being directed by Taika Waititi, it’s expected that Hemsworth will get a chance to be more silly in that film as well.
