Top 5 Marvel actors who will look perfect in cricketers’ biopics

2. Chris Hemsworth as Shane Warne

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth broke into the MCU in 2011 with his maiden appearance as Thor in Thor. He has worked in nine MCU movies in his more than two-decade-long acting career and most of his films became hits at the box office. Hemsworth is considered one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood and his notable works such as Star Trek, The Cabin In The Woods, and Avengers: Endgame prove it.       

Late Australia legend Shane Warne once revealed that he wants Leonardo DiCaprio or Hemsworth to play him in his biopic. Like the former Aussie leggie, Hemsworth is also Australian, and this similarity between both personalities along with the latter’s acting prowess can attract Australian cricket fans and movie lovers towards the box office. 

Warne served Australia from 1992-2007 and during this period, he grabbed 708 wickets in 273 innings of 145 Tests. With these numbers, he is the second-leading wicket-taker in cricket’s longest format. He also played a vital role in Australia’s second World Cup title win in 1999, picking up 20 wickets in 10 matches at a frugal economy of 3.82.
