Imagine trying to convince a teenager to do anything, let alone star in one of the most anticipated movies of the decade. But that’s exactly what Chris Hemsworth had to do with his daughter, India, while filming Avengers: Doomsday. And this is the part most people miss: even the stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe aren’t immune to the challenges of parenting a teen. During a recent appearance on The View, Hemsworth revealed that getting his now-13-year-old daughter on set was no easy feat—it took a bit of bribery. India, who previously appeared alongside her dad in Thor: Love and Thunder, wasn’t exactly thrilled about returning to the MCU. Hemsworth recalled her walking onto set with a classic teenage attitude: ‘Ugh, how long is this gonna take?’ To which he jokingly replied, ‘We haven’t even started!’
But here’s where it gets controversial: Hemsworth admitted that after just one take, India was already asking, ‘Are we done?’ Her ‘angsty’ demeanor often led her to wander off set, leaving her famous father scrambling. ‘I had to bribe her to come onto set,’ he confessed. When India protested, ‘I’m not even getting paid! What am I even doing here?’ Hemsworth had to remind her that her earnings were being saved for her future. But the real negotiation came when he hinted that her pay could cover the cost of a motorbike she’d been eyeing. Suddenly, the reluctant teen was ready to roll.
Adding to the chaos, India was convinced she’d miss a Billie Eilish concert that evening, which only heightened her reluctance. But is it fair to expect a teenager to prioritize a movie set over a concert? Or is this just a relatable parenting struggle amplified by Hollywood?
Beyond the Hemsworth family dynamics, Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be a game-changer for the MCU. After years of multiverse storylines that left fans wanting more, this film promises to deliver everything they’ve been craving—and then some. Not only will it reunite current MCU heroes, but it’s also bringing back original X-Men stars like Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and James Marsden. Add in The Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, Wakandans, Steve Rogers, and Robert Downey Jr.’s highly anticipated debut as Doctor Doom, and you’ve got a recipe for the biggest movie of 2026.
But here’s the kicker: Doomsday is only half the story. The saga will conclude in 2027 with Avengers: Secret Wars, a film that aims to outshine even Endgame. Can the Russo brothers pull off another cinematic miracle, or will the pressure be too much? We’ll find out on December 18, 2026, when the Multiverse Saga begins its epic finale. The clock is ticking—are you ready?
