Complete List of Chris Hemsworth Movies Available on Netflix

Chris Hemsworth is swiftly becoming a dominant force on Netflix, extending beyond his notable original films. The Australian actor first garnered fame as Kim Hyde in the popular soap opera Home and Away, running from 2004 to 2007. Yet, it was his portrayal of the legendary superhero Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe starting in 2011 that catapulted him to global stardom. Hemsworth has reprised his role as Thor across multiple entries, including his solo adventures such as Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, and Thor: Love and Thunder.

Looking ahead, Hemsworth has several exciting projects lined up, including Stuntnuts: The Movie — the third installment in the Kick-Ass series, Crime 101, which features fellow stars Mark Ruffalo and Halle Berry, as well as Extraction 3.

Despite his continued association with the God of Thunder, Hemsworth’s filmography boasts considerable success beyond the MCU. His ventures encompass various genres: he has headlined several action-packed narratives, explored horror in the acclaimed 2011 film The Cabin in the Woods, and engaged in numerous projects, many of which residents can stream on Netflix. Notably, the platform currently hosts six films featuring Hemsworth.

6 Blackhat

Release Date: January 16, 2015

Among Hemsworth’s earlier films available on Netflix, Blackhat stands out as Michael Mann’s cyber-thriller, released in theaters in early 2015. In this film, Hemsworth assumes the role of Nicholas Hathaway, a hacker enlisted by the FBI to locate a perpetrator involved in high-stakes cybercrime. The cast features talent such as Viola Davis, Holt McCallany, and Tang Wei. This gripping tale echoes the long-standing battle against cyber threats.

Regrettably, Blackhat was classified as a box office disappointment, reaping under $20 million against a $70 million budget, primarily due to competition from the highly profitable American Sniper. Critical response was equally lukewarm, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 33 percent and an audience score of 25 percent. Nevertheless, it remains an intriguing pick for Hemsworth fans.

5 In The Heart Of The Sea

Release Date: December 11, 2015

Another film starring Hemsworth from 2015 is In the Heart of the Sea, which made its way to Netflix’s catalogue in late 2024, quickly garnering attention. Directed by Ron Howard, this historical adventure recounts the harrowing tale of the whaling ship Essex, which inspired Herman Melville’s classic, Moby Dick. Here, Hemsworth portrays Owen Chase, the ship’s first mate, along with a notable cast including Cillian Murphy, Tom Holland, and Brendan Gleeson.

The Essex embarked on its fateful two-and-a-half-year voyage in 1819, only to meet disaster when a vengeful whale rammed the ship in 1820. While the film’s box office performance mirrored that of Blackhat, grossing just $94.3 million against a $100 million budget, it received slightly better reviews, hampered by tough competition from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

4 Extraction

Release Date: April 24, 2020

Extraction dazzled audiences upon its 2020 debut, drawing inspiration from the graphic novel Ciudad. Hemsworth features as Tyler Rake, an Australian mercenary tasked with rescuing the kidnapped son of an Indian crime lord. However, the rescue mission spirals into chaos as trust among allies dissolves.

This action thriller became a landmark success for Netflix, becoming the platform’s most-viewed film soon after release with over 99 million households tuning in. Although Red Notice eventually unseated it, Extraction‘s phenomenal debut solidified its importance in Netflix’s lineup and prompted the greenlighting of a sequel.

3 Spiderhead

Release Date: June 17, 2022

In Spiderhead, a unique narrative unfolds as inmates in a state-of-the-art prison endure mind-altering drug tests aimed at reducing their sentences. Hemsworth takes on the role of Steve Abnesti, the mastermind behind these controversial experiments. Accompanied by an impressive cast that includes Miles Teller and Jurnee Smollett, the film explores complex themes of morality and freedom.

While Spiderhead didn’t achieve the monumental success of Extraction, it still adds value to Hemsworth’s repertoire, allowing fans to glimpse his diverse acting range.

2 Extraction 2

Release Date: June 16, 2023

Following the triumph of the original film, Extraction 2 was an anticipated sequel, further expanding Hemsworth’s role as Tyler Rake. With Sam Hargrave returning as director and Joe Russo crafting the script, this installment sees Rake undertaking the intricate task of rescuing a drug lord’s family from a Georgian prison. The sequel quickly emerged as a hit, attracting close to 130 million views shortly after its release, reinforcing Netflix’s commitment to this blossoming franchise.

1 Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Release Date: May 24, 2024

Recently, Hemsworth graced Netflix with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the highly anticipated entry in the acclaimed Mad Max franchise, which debuted in theaters in May 2024. Despite a disappointing box office performance—grossing $173.8 million against a $168 million budget—the film has been met with critical acclaim. Hemsworth plays Dementus, a villainous warlord characterized uniquely in his acting portfolio, showcasing a side of him that diverges from typical heroic roles.

While Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga faced challenges at the box office, it has the potential to thrive on Netflix. Hemsworth’s performance, particularly, has been praised highly, positioning him as a formidable presence in an impressive cinematic universe.
