Marvel star Chris Hemsworth is set to take on a new role in the upcoming Mad Max prequel, Furiosa, as the main antagonist, Warlord Dementus. In a recent interview with Empire, Hemsworth shared insights into his character, describing him as a 'pretty horrible individual' with a complex motivation behind his actions.
According to Hemsworth, Warlord Dementus is not just a sadistic villain but a character driven by a purpose. The actor delved into the psyche of Dementus, revealing that the character sees himself as a warped father figure to Imperator Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy.
