1. Chris Hemsworth’s Emotional Documentary on His Father’s Health

One of the most intimate and surprising projects from any Hemsworth brother in 2025 is Chris Hemsworth’s documentary, A Road Trip to Remember. This project shifts the spotlight entirely away from the action star’s physique and blockbuster roles to focus on a deeply personal family matter.

The documentary chronicles an emotional road trip Chris designed with his father, Craig Hemsworth, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The goal of the trip was to revisit significant places from their family's past in Melbourne and the remote Australian Outback, allowing them to reconnect and create new memories.

Scheduled to be broadcast on National Geographic and Disney+ in November 2025, this film offers a raw, uplifting look at caregiving and the power of family bonds. It's a profound departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and showcases a vulnerable side of the global superstar, adding a new layer of depth to his public persona.

The project highlights the close relationship Chris shares with his parents, Leonie and Craig, demonstrating that despite their Hollywood success, the brothers remain deeply grounded in their family values and Australian heritage.

2. Luke and Liam’s Unexpected Big-Screen Collaboration in ‘Land of Bad’

While Chris is known for his joint ventures with his wife, Elsa Pataky, the youngest and eldest brothers, Liam and Luke, recently teamed up for the 2024 action-thriller, Land of Bad. The film, which found significant streaming success in 2025 after its initial theatrical run, is a high-tension, covert-ops thriller set in the Philippines.

Liam Hemsworth plays Air Force Sergeant J.J. “Playboy” Kinney, a capable but inexperienced tactical air control party (TACP) officer. Luke, meanwhile, plays a supporting role, marking a rare and exciting on-screen collaboration for the two siblings. Critics noted that the film was most compelling when focusing on Liam’s character, proving his capability as a leading man in the action genre.

Their joint appearance in Land of Bad has sparked fan speculation about future projects where all three Hemsworth brothers—Luke, Chris, and Liam—could share the screen, perhaps in a comedy or a major action franchise. The film's success on platforms like Netflix underscores the brothers' collective star power and their ability to draw massive audiences to a non-franchise action film.

3. Luke Hemsworth’s Dominance in the Action-Thriller Streaming Space

Luke Hemsworth is solidifying his position as a major player in the streaming action genre, moving beyond his iconic role as Ashley Stubbs in Westworld.

His most notable recent success is his key role in the Amazon Prime Video universe of The Terminal List. In 2025, Luke appeared in the first season of the show and is confirmed to be joining the cast of the prequel series, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, which will serve as a CIA origin story. He is set to rival his brother Chris, who is known for his own action franchises like Extraction, by taking on the contentious role of Jules Landry in the series.

This strategic move places Luke at the heart of a massive, interconnected streaming universe alongside stars like Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch. It demonstrates a clear, focused career path away from the shadow of his younger brothers' blockbuster fame, establishing him as a reliable and formidable actor in the high-stakes world of espionage thrillers. His work on *The Terminal List* is considered a major career highlight, proving his versatility and on-screen intensity.

4. Chris Hemsworth’s New Australian-Filmed Blockbuster ‘Subversion’

In a major commitment to his home country, Chris Hemsworth is slated to star in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios project, Subversion. The film is part of a steady slate of high-profile projects being made in Queensland, Australia, highlighting Chris's continued effort to bring major film production back to the region where he and his family reside.

While details on the plot are closely guarded, the film is generating significant buzz in the industry. This, along with other rumored projects like the *He-Man Live Action* film, ensures that Chris remains one of the world's most in-demand actors, balancing his massive superhero commitments with new, varied roles.

This project, combined with his work on the docu-series Limitless: Live Better Now, shows Chris's professional focus in 2025 is on diversity. He is actively moving between intimate, personal projects, large-scale action blockbusters, and passion projects filmed in his Australian backyard.

5. The Enduring Legacy of the Hemsworth ‘Soap Opera’ Beginnings

It is impossible to discuss the Hemsworth brothers' current success without acknowledging their humble, and often competitive, beginnings in Australian television.

The three brothers essentially followed the same career blueprint: start on a major Australian soap opera before making the leap to Hollywood. Luke was the first, appearing on Neighbours in 2001. Chris followed, first with a cameo on Neighbours before landing his major role on rival soap Home and Away, which became his primary launching pad. Liam, the youngest, then landed his own role on Neighbours from 2007 to 2008, playing Josh Taylor.

This shared history on the Australian small screen, specifically the rivalry between Neighbours and Home and Away, is a fun piece of trivia that binds the brothers. It’s a testament to their ambition and the quality of Australian acting training that all three managed to transition from these local shows to become global movie stars, with Liam finding international fame in *The Hunger Games* and Chris dominating the MCU.

The enduring connection between the brothers—Luke and Liam’s recent film, Chris’s tribute to their father, and their shared life in Byron Bay—continues to make them one of the most fascinating and powerful families in Hollywood. Their 2025 projects confirm that the Hemsworth era is far from over, only becoming more diverse and personally driven.
