"He was one of the first people who got right down to the wire on getting the part so, I don't know, I could cross paths with him. Still, the franchise has proven to have deep family ties for the Hemsworth brothers. But Liam didn't exactly get the short end of the stick. "I think my audition sucked," he said.

But who knows if there is more in the future, as you say it has opened up multitudes of options we can head in or be taken in."

Chris Hemsworth said his younger brother Liam Hemsworth got 'very close' in the casting process for Thor before he ultimately landed the part.

That will be fun," he said with a laugh about possibly sharing the screen with Liam, both as versions of Thor. In an episode of Wired's "Autocomplete Interview" last month, Chris recalled not getting a callback for the Thor role at first, guessing, "I think my audition sucked. "But who knows if there is more in the future as you say it has opened up multitudes of options we can head in or be taken in."
