Chris Hemsworth Trolls MLB All-Stars With Thor’s Hammer in Hilarious ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Collab

Marvel’s marketing for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ has spread well beyond movie theaters. As the release gets closer, the studio keeps finding new arenas for its heroes, and Major League Baseball has turned into one of its favorite stages.

The partnership started during baseball’s biggest week. Marvel Studios released a special ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ preview during Game 1 of the 2026 World Series, pairing the film’s characters with several prominent baseball players. The preview aired on Friday, October 23, during the game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays, and featured Bryce Harper, Freddie Freeman, Jacob Misiorowski, Junior Caminero, and Randy Arozarena.

Now the crossover has a new chapter, and this time the God of Thunder is involved. Chris Hemsworth appears in a new collab with MLB for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, and it’s quickly becoming one of the most shared pieces of the film’s promo campaign. In the viral video, Harper, Freeman, and several other MLB All-Stars return for another promotional crossover.

The premise is simple. The MLB stars try to lift Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir, and fail. Hemsworth then steps in, picks up the weapon with ease, and teases the players for not being “worthy.” In the final twist, Hemsworth trolls them by revealing he had bolted the hammer down, so none of them could ever have lifted it.

Baseball and Marvel fans have both been having fun with the video. One fan suggested pitcher Noah Syndergaard, nicknamed Thor, should have walked by and winked at Hemsworth. Another joked that a whole league of guys who lift for a living couldn’t make the hammer move an inch.

Some fans also pointed out that Mjölnir should have budged a little when Misiorowski tried, the way it did for Cap. In another video, the 5 players also survive a pitch from Pedro Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic.

The earlier World Series preview gave fans plenty to talk about too. Released as a joint YouTube exclusive from MLB and Marvel, the 1-minute video mixes clips of top athletes with new scenes from the movie. It features a new scene at Ebbets Field on Earth-828, where members of The Fantastic Four take part in a baseball game.

The teaser also gave fans another look at Thor and Steve Rogers reuniting. It also features Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang, Shuri, Ian McKellen’s Magneto, Cyclops and Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. It ends with Doom arriving above the baseball field.

For Hemsworth, the playful promo comes ahead of a major comeback. In ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, Thor returns to the warrior persona and mindset last seen in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, with co-director Joe Russo explaining that the character wants to find meaning through battle.

Fans have also wondered whether this could be a farewell. Hemsworth previously posted a video titled “Thank You! The Legacy of Thor” on his YouTube channel, thanking fans for their support and sparking speculation that ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ could be his last time as the Asgardian Avenger. Marvel hasn’t confirmed anything about Thor’s fate.

The promotional push isn’t slowing down. Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and Kevin Feige will attend an ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ green carpet event at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on December 8. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the film brings together characters from 3 different universes facing a threat that could devastate the multiverse. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on December 18. Based on this latest video, Thor’s hammer is staying exactly where he left it until then.
