Chris Hemsworth has no idea what the future has in store for Thor, which is currently the only character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be at the center of four standalone movies (although Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is surely next).  Hemsworth’s last Marvel outing, 2022’s “Thor: Love and Thunder,” turned off many Marvel fans with its silly humor and unappealing visual effects, so much so that even Hemsworth himself called the film “too silly.” In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hemsworth confirmed nothing is official regarding his Marvel return.  He wants a potential “Thor 5” to be “unpredictable,” but he also doesn’t want to risk playing Thor for so long that Marvel fans start rolling their eyes. “I’ve got to be careful how I word that because I have no idea what’s happening in the next phase,” Hemsworth said.  “There are always conversations…Before anything is official, people are throwing around ideas. But officially, I don’t know.” “I don’t want to c...

The first-ever Trooping the Colour to honor the birthday of King Charles III has enlisted the attendance of senior members of the royal family, including Queen Camilla, Prince William, Catherine, Princess of Wales, Anne, Princess Royal, and more.  Unsurprisingly, this guest list didn't include Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
