How Old Is Chris Hemswoth’s Thor? Marvel Confirms An Infinity War Mistake
Going off of the “Thor” films, the God of Thunder is roughly 1,050 years old, much younger than he tells Rocket. We know that Loki is a baby during the Battle of Tønsberg, and Thor confirms that he and Loki are the same age in “Thor: Ragnarok.” Discussing a prank Loki once pulled on him, he says, “I went to pick up the snake to admire it, and he transformed back into himself, and he was like, ‘Ah, it’s me!’ And then he stabbed me. We were 8 at the time.” This brings up the question of why Thor would say he’s 1,500 years old when he’s younger than that. Perhaps living for centuries makes time an irrelevant concept to a god and everything starts blurring together at a certain point.
More than likely, someone goofed up on “Infinity War.” It wouldn’t be the first time, with Marvel releasing an official MCU timeline to resolve confusion following the infamous “eight years later” time jump presented between the events of “The Avengers” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” which created a huge timeline inconsistency. With so many intricate details in the MCU that have to line up, though, especially as it concerns the Multiverse, the creatives can be forgiven for overlooking what’s ultimately a triviality. Thor is old; that’s all fans need to know about the character. Then again, perhaps the discrepancy is Loki’s work. Seeing where he winds up at the end of “Loki” Season 2, perhaps he pulled one last time trick on his dear brother.
