Jason MomoaandChris Hemsworthare both well-known for playing all-powerful superheroes in the DCEU and MCU, respectively. However, it seems that the pair have started an online beef over the fact that Hemsworth has to undergo some intense workouts in order to perfect his Thor physique, while Momoa points out the benefits of having a padded suit as Aquaman.
Jason Momoa returns to theaters later this month in what appears to be his final outing as Arthur Curry aka Aquaman, in the DCEU’s closing chapter,Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Ahead of this, Momoa took to his TikTok account to send a personal message to Chris Hemsworth, expressing his clear joy that, unlike the Marvel star, he doesn’t have to worry about any tiring training regimes to slip into his aquatic hero’s persona. In his video, Momoa laughed:
What’s up, Hemsworth? Check that s**t out! You had to work out, I didn’t.
It did not take long for Hemsworth to respond with his own video, taking a humorous swipe at Momoa’s lack of commitment by filming himself in a short-sleeved top showing off his “skin suit.” While doing reps, Hemsworth retorted with:
That’s a lovely padded costume you got there, Jason. I prefer a skin suit myself mate. I love you, Aquaman.
While Jason Momoa’s time as Aquaman is almost certainly coming to an end, it is likely that Hemsworth will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thor before the end of Phase 6.

What Does the Future Hold for Momoa and Hemsworth’s Superheroes?
While Jason Momoa appears to be coming to the end of his run as DC’s underwater hero, that does not mean that his time in the DCU is over. Rumors have continued to revolve aroundthe actor being offered another rolein James Gunn and Peter Safran’s upcoming reboot of the franchise. If these rumors are true, and Momoa has already hinted previously that they could be, then we will likely see the actor taking on the role of Lobo somewhere down the line. Before that, though, there is the matter ofAquaman and the Lost Kingdomto contend with. As the theatrical release draws closer, thesigns of another DC misfireare becoming increasingly obvious, but only time will tell whether the holiday season will bring some good cheer to the departing franchise.
Chris Hemsworth, on the other hand, is now over a year down the line sinceThor: Love & Thunderfailed to capture the glory of its predecessor,Thor: Ragnarok, and ended up tarnishing the reputation of the character among many fans. However, it seems thatThor 5is now in development, and it is expected that Hemsworth’s God of Thunder will also be part ofAvengers: The Kang DynastyandAvengers: Secret Warsin the coming years. However, it is very likely that the end of the Multiverse Saga will also signal the final outing for Hemsworth’s character, with the actor having already hinted thathe is almost ready to leave Thor behind.
