Thor vs Wanda? Chris Hemsworth just settled the MCU’s fiercest fan fight with two words — and his pick will reignite the debate.

Thor vs. Wanda. Fans have argued this one for years. Chris Hemsworth just weighed in, and he did it in two words.

Hemsworth picks a winner (and he barely blinked)

While signing autographs, Hemsworth got hit with the question by content creator Sami Haidary: who takes the fight, Thor or Scarlet Witch? He chuckled, then answered with the kind of shrug you can hear through a video:

"Probably Wanda."

That quick call lined up with a lot of fan reactions in the comments, which leaned the same way.

Olsen already called her shot

Elizabeth Olsen said as much on late-night TV last year. Asked who was the most powerful Avenger between her and Thor, she did not hesitate:

"I think I am."

She added that the prevailing theory favors Wanda in a straight-up clash, and after the host noted Wanda’s bag of tricks outclasses thunder and a hammer, she doubled down:

"I think I could probably somehow manipulate and go inside his body and do the same thing he does."

Where the power scale sits now

Both characters have scaled up a lot since their MCU debuts, but Wanda’s ceiling shot into a different stratosphere once she unlocked her full potential. Thor still brings absurd strength, storm-level lightning, and elite combat instincts that chew through crowds. Wanda, though, graduated from telekinesis, restraints, and mind games to full-on reality bending — and then kept climbing after studying the Darkhold.

  • Post-Darkhold Wanda can dreamwalk (inhabit an alternate self), re-shape bodies on the fly, flip other heroes’ powers against them, and push back on psychic assaults — all on top of her amplified telekinesis and energy projection.

If you want the cleanest on-screen indicator, it’s this: Wanda is the only Avenger who completely overpowered Thanos in Avengers: Endgame.

What’s next for both

Thor is confirmed to return in Avengers: Doomsday, and the expectation is another bump to his power set. Wanda’s next appearance remains a mystery for now.
