To realize that Chris Hemsworth made his debut as the God of Thunder in his first self-titled flick, Thor, a decade ago makes me feel as old as the Asgardian Avenger himself.
It also makes me excited, because there is no better time than when a Marvel movie hits its 10-year anniversary to revisit it with some behind the scenes facts.

Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is about to be the center of his own self-titled series on Disney+, Clark Gregg’s fan-favorite Coulson already has led his own series with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Kat Dennings has re-entered the franchise as the now renowned astrophysicist Darcy Lewis on WandaVision, and Chris Hemsworth is about to be succeeded by Natalie Portman in the role of Thor, in a film directed by an Academy Award-winning filmmaker.
