While the actor has had mixed success outside of Marvel movies in the past, his fortunes seem to be turning around.

Hemsworth current contract with Marvel comes to an end with The Avengers 4, and the star confirmed to Australian Breakfast show Sunrise (via Digital Spy) that he’s ready to move on from the character:
My contract's coming to an end, we've just finished the last two Avengers. Who knows what the future holds.
He then clarified that while he feels his time as the God of Thunder is done, nothing has been set in stone at this stage:
We felt like we reinvented the last one in a big way. It felt refreshed and re-energised. We might have a conversation if there's another great script that comes along. But at the moment that's it."
Of course, Hemsworth’s future with the character will likely depend on how the events of The Avengers 4 unfold for Thor, which won’t be revealed until 2019. Kevin Feige has already mentioned how the current version of the MCU will come to an end with the movie, paving the way for a new generation of heroes to take over. Whether there’s a role for Thor in the next phase, or if Hemsworth is even interested in reprising the role again, wouldn’t be known for awhile to come.
For the time being, the actor is keen on Tarantino has come onboard with his R-rated take, those plans may have changed. He’s also expressed an interest in playing James Bond, but doubts he would be offered the role.
