Chris Hemsworth commented that he felt he had created a parody of himself in his most recent appearance as Thor.

The Australian actor was first cast as the Marvel superhero at the age of 25. Fifteen years later, Hemsworth is now in 29 films, nine of them in the Marvel franchise.

But in a new interview with Vanity Fair, the star suggested he was disappointed by his most recent incarnation of the character in the 2022 film ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’.

There are four films in total in the ‘Thor’ franchise. The 2011 debut film ‘Thor’ was followed by three sequels: 2013‘s “Thor: Dark World”, 2017’s ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ and 2022’s “Thor: Love and Thunder”. The hammer-wielding Norse god also appears in the ‘Avengers’ films.

The interviewer quotes ‘Avengers’ co-star Robert Downey Jr. as saying Hemsworth’s work in the previous films ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Avengers: Endgame’ was ‘a formidable hat-trick’.

Morgan Spurlock, the filmmaker and CNN anchor whose McDonald’s documentary ‘Super Size Me’ was nominated for an Academy Award, died Thursday of complications from cancer, his family said.

Spurlock, who was 53, died in New York, surrounded by family and friends, his brother said in a statement.

‘It was a sad day as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,’ Craig Spurlock said. “Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas and generosity. The world has lost a true creative genius and a special man. I am very proud to have worked alongside him.”

Spurlock’s career as a director was varied and unpredictable. He was best known for Super Size Me, which sparked a national conversation (and not without controversy) about America’s relationship with fast food. The film involved his experiment in which he consumed only McDonald’s food for 30 days and was required to ‘upsize’ his food order if requested in the sales transaction.

Actor Giancarlo Esposito recreates one of his most famous scenes from the film Do the Right Thing 35 years later.
Giancarlo Esposito recreates a scene from Do the Right Thing years later. A 1989 Spike Lee film, Do The Right Thing featured a prominent cast that included Lee himself, Samuel L. Jackson, Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Martin Lawrence, Rosie Perez, Ruby Dee, John Turturro, Bill Dunn and Richard Edson, among others. One of those cast members was Breaking Bad’s Esposito, who played Mookie’s eccentric friend Buggin’ Out.

In an Instagram video from lethalshooter, Esposito recreates an iconic scene from Buggin’ Out. In the video, Esposito sees his white Air Jordan shoes run over by a bicycle, which in this case is slowly walking down the pavement. The actor repeats several of the actual lines from Do the Right Thing, including phrases like ‘what are you doing on my block, in my neighbourhood, on my side of the street?’

Esposito does a great job capturing the essence of his signature Buggin’ Out character. Certain details from the original film are changed, including the doubling of the price of Air Jordans from $100 to $200. The remade scene also omits the gentrification lines from Do the Right Thing, as the original scene, unlike the new video, features a white man in a Larry Bird t-shirt running over shoes.
