While hes always impressive, theyre variations of the same man weve come to love in the MCU.
At one point, his cape is covered in red dust a fun callback to Hemsworths Asgardian roots.
The strangest thing about Dementus is that a teddy bear is chained to his outfit.
Yet this is no one-dimensional performance.
Under duress, Hemsworth darts his eyes back and forth, looking for something anything that could save him.
The plan works, and Dementus wipes the blood of his henchman off his eyes and shoots Furiosa.
Its all done so quickly and without even a whisper of hesitation, as if its muscle memory.
Sacrificing others for his survival comes as natural to Dementus as breathing.
When his back is (literally) against the wall, hes still ten steps ahead.
Alone, his confidence remains, and Hemsworth never lets that mask slip.
That doesnt stop writers George Miller and Nick Lahtouris from giving the villain a robust arc.
We see him as a beloved, borderline messianic leader.
Yet through his downward trajectory, Hemsworth is always commanding.
Perhaps, like fellow MCU alum Robert Downey Jr., Oscar glory is in his future.
What a lovely day that would be.
Furiosa is out in theaters now.
