9 Actors You Didn’t Know Were In Movies

3. Luke Hemsworth In Thor: Ragnarok

By this point in the game, all three Hemsworth brothers have technically been involved with the Thor character.

Of course, middle brother Chris is the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Thunder God, and he's been in that role since Kenneth Branagh's Thor hit the silver screen back in 2011. Before that, it was actually the youngest Hemsworth, Liam, who was the early frontrunner to land the role of the Odinson - until he was pipped at the post by his broski, that is.

As for eldest brother Luke, his connection to Thor is one that possibly slid under the radar for many.

If you remember, during Loki's time disguised as Odin and running Asgard in Thor: Ragnarok, the God of Mischief puts on a stage production based around the actions of himself, Thor, and Odin.

While Matt Damon was impossible to miss as the actor playing Loki in this theatrical piece, and the eagle-eyed in the audience may have even spotted Sam Neill as the person behind Odin, it was Luke Hemsworth who played Thor during these moments.

And with that, all three Hemsworth siblings can say that they've had some sort of involvement with the God of Thunder.
