Chris Hemsworth receives a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; with the Avengers cast’s assistance, Robert Downey Jr. makes fun of him.

On the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, the actors reunited, with Robert Downey Jr. spearheading the roasting of Chris Hemsworth. Chris, who was most recently seen in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, was awarded a Hollywood star on Wednesday in recognition of his achievements to the film industry. His Avengers co-star Robert hosted a lighthearted roast of the Australian actor in a video that Variety posted from the ceremony in Los Angeles.

Amazingly, infuriatingly, absurd
Chris got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame while surrounded by his loved ones. Robert claimed to have asked his “fellow Avengers” to sum up Chris in three words in front of them, eliciting some amusing answers. First, Robert read to Chris the three words that Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton/Hawkeye) had prepared: “Absurdly, annoyingly amazing.”

He continued by revealing Mark Ruffalo, dubbed The Incredible Hulk, had this to say about Chris: “Friend from work.” The Black Widow actress Scarlett Johansson referred to Chris as a “sensitive leading lady.” The best news was saved for last: Robert disclosed that Captain America, Chris Evans, referred to the Australian actor as the “second best Chris.”

More about Chris’s induction into the Hollywood Walk of Fame

The actor received recognition from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for his contributions to motion pictures, and his wife Elsa Pataky, together with their three children (daughter India Rose and twin boys Sasha and Tristan) were there. George Miller, the director, and co-star Anya Taylor-Joy from Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga were also present at the event.

Stars’ names are displayed on the recognisable Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles as a tribute to their accomplishments in the entertainment business. A statement from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce read, “We are honoured to present Chris Hemsworth with a well-deserved star. In addition to his devoted following, Chris is well-known for his outstanding performances that have enthralled audiences all over the world.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community

JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.

JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics.

What HBO said

“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.

It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”

A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”

About Harry Potter series

Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.

The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.

Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
