While Captain America: Civil War was a big film, made on a massive scale that once again assembled all the characters of the superhero squad Avengers and set the tone for studios 2018 blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War but one major superhero that was missing from the 2016 film was Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder Thor. A new story from The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a book that tries to uncover several behind-the-screen secrets of the superhero-based franchise Marvel Studio, has revealed that Hemsworth thought that his character Thor was written out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when he was not cast in Captain America: Civil War.

"I remember being on the Age of Ultron press tour, and everyone was talking about Civil War," Hemsworth said in the new book The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "I was like, 'What's Civil War?' I asked, 'Are you doing a side-project or something?' They're like, 'Oh no, Captain America, y'know? The next one is Civil War.' I'm like, 'Wait... Iron Man's in that?' And it's like, 'Yeah, but there's not just Iron Man. There's Vision. There's Spider-Man'"

"Wait — what the hell am I doing?'" Hemsworth wondered upon learning about the film. "[Marvel] said, 'You're doing your own thing.'"  "I thought, 'This is it. I'm being written out,'" Hemsworth continued.
