Chris Hemsworth at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for Furiosa: an acclaimed return as a protagonist

Chris Hemsworth walked the red carpet at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of the Mad Max prequel, Furiosa , greeted by a wave of applause and cheers. The Australian actor, famous for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, played the role of the villain Dementus in this new film directed by George Miller.

Hemsworth showed off an elegant and refined look, with a black Dior suit, white shirt and tie. At his side, his wife Elsa Pataky , splendid in a white dress with a side slit.

Hemsworth's performance in Furiosa has been described by many critics as intense and magnetic . His Dementus is a complex and ruthless character, in stark contrast to the heroine Furiosa played by Anya Taylor-Joy.

Hemsworth said he was thrilled to join the Mad Max franchise and worked closely with Miller to create a memorable character.

Furiosa received a 10-minute standing ovation at the end of the screening, confirming itself as one of the most anticipated and acclaimed films of the festival. The film explores the origins of the young Furiosa, already iconic heroine played by Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road, and her journey through a brutal, male-dominated post-apocalyptic world.

The presence of Chris Hemsworth at the Cannes Film Festival further amplified the attention for Furiosa , consolidating its role as a leading protagonist on the international cinema scene.
