Summary

  • Chris Hemsworth, known for his roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, admitted to feeling intimidated working with Halle Berry.
  • Berry praised Hemsworth for supporting her on set, hinting at an incident that made her a “fan” of him.
  • Hemsworth and Berry star in the upcoming thriller Crime 101, a must-watch heist film set for release this year.

Chris Hemsworth confessed that there is one fellow actor who left him feeling awestruck, despite his roles in numerous films.

At a tender age, Chris Hemsworth displayed an early passion for the performing arts. His family has a knack for acting, with his siblings Luke and Liam Hemsworth also working in the same field. He commenced his Hollywood journey in the 2009 film ‘Star Trek’. However, it was his portrayal of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that made him a familiar face to many households. He reprised this MCU superhero role in ‘The Avengers’ movies and is slated to return to the franchise in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. Over the years, he has been part of four ‘Thor’ films – ‘Thor’ (2011), ‘Thor: The Dark World’ (2013), ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ (2017), and ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ (2022). In addition, Hemsworth has featured in numerous action movies such as ‘Extraction’ (2020), ‘Extraction 2’ (2023), and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ (2024). The upcoming thriller ‘Crime 101’ will see him on screen, with him expressing apprehension about his co-star.

At CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas on April 2nd, Chris Hemsworth was one of the stars present at Amazon MGM Studios’ showcase. During this event, he confessed that working alongside Harry Berry in their upcoming film had initially made him feel somewhat intimidated. In a shared interview on the red carpet with Berry, Hemsworth opened up about his experience collaborating with the Academy Award winner and discussed their time together on set. The actor from “Spiderhead” explained that some performers not only bring out the best in their co-stars but also provide opportunities to experiment with fresh concepts, which was his experience working with Berry. Hemsworth stated that this allowed him to “attempt different things.

For quite some time, I’ve held immense respect for Halle’s artistic abilities. Needless to say, I felt quite nervous sharing the screen with her and attempting not to be starstruck by her exceptional performance.

Berry commended Hemsworth for defending her, as the actor from “Never Let Go” hinted at an on-set incident where Hemsworth offered support. Without disclosing specifics, Berry declared that Hemsworth earned a lifelong fan by standing up for a woman when he didn’t have to. It appears that both actors had a pleasant working relationship and expressed interest in collaborating again, but it seems unlikely as Berry confirmed she won’t be involved in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday.” Rumors circulated about Berry reprising her role as Storm from the X-Men series for this film, given that several other X-Men stars were announced, including Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. However, it seems Berry will not return to play Storm in the “Doomsday” project.

Certainly, the crime drama “Crime 101” by Berry and Hemsworth is not to be missed. Not only do the two actors display a clear respect and admiration for each other, but they also excel in intense, action-packed roles. Berry has consistently demonstrated her ability to handle high-action scenes across various films. In “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” (2019), she portrayed an ex-assassin; in “Kidnap” (2017), she played a determined mother pursuing her son’s kidnappers; and in “Die Another Day” (2002), she charmed as a formidable Bond girl. Her versatility is evident, as she also impressed in psychological dramas such as “Monster’s Ball” (2001), where she portrayed a traumatized widow, and “Gothika” (2003), where she found herself confined within her own mental institution. Given Berry’s exceptional talent, it is not surprising that Hemsworth feels intimidated, despite his own impressive acting career.

Watching Hemsworth and Berry team up in one film is bound to get your heart racing, especially since it’s a high-stakes heist movie. You can expect a game of cat-and-mouse between the cops and robbers. In this action-packed flick, Chris Hemsworth’s Avengers partner Mark Ruffalo portrays Detective Lou Lubesnick, who is relentless in his pursuit to capture Davis (Hemsworth), the notorious jewel thief. On the other side, Halle Berry plays an insurance broker who unwittingly gets caught up in Davis’ criminal activities.

Crime 101 will be released this year.
