Chris Hemsworth, before making it big with 2011 Thor, made a brief appearance as Captain Kirk in a Star Trek reboot helmed by J J Abrams. The series, however, failed to make a lasting impression.

Shedding light on the insane salary hike of Chris Hemsworth, according to the site Boss Hunting, the actor was paid a mere $150K for his lead role in Thor which was released in 2011 raking in a massive $450 million at the global box office. However, since then it has been nothing but a monumental increase in the actor’s salary. For Thor: The Dark World, it is not confirmed how much the actor was paid, but a few other reports suggest that Hemsworth might have pocketed something between $2-3 million. In 2017, Hemsworth was again seen in a standalone Thor movie called Thor: Ragnarok for which he was paid approximately $15 million.
