10 Classic Film Characters Who Didn't Have As Much Screen-Time As You Thought

6. Thor - The Avengers

Okay, The Avengers splits its screen-time between a plethora of superheroes; of course some characters are going to get less time in the limelight than others. It's no surprise really that Captain America and Iron Man dominate the movie, and that Hawkeye barely asserts himself in the action, but what about Thor? Well, Thor only makes a 25-minute appearance. Assuming that all five Avengers should each get 20% of the movie, that's below average, but what's most surprising in the stats is that Black Widow eclipses Thor's screen-time by nearly ten minutes. Given the presence of Chris Hemsworth's portrayal, combined with the threat of Loki, you'd expect Thor to appear on screen longer than Scarlett Johansson, wouldn't you? That's a number that could decline further with sequel Age of Ultron, given that the cast is expanding. Expect to see way more of Robert Downey Jr though, given the massive success of Iron Man 3.
