Chris Hemsworth: 2 lines

Masters of the Universe (2026): 1 line

lineage (influence) · through Thor: Ragnarok (2017), which they acted in: Thor: Ragnarok ⇒ Masters of the Universe (the host's read). The movie looks inspired by Ragnarok, which gave executives a template of color, weirdness, and joke tone to copy.
