Chris Hemsworth won't be throwing away his mighty hammer any time soon.
The Australian actor has revealed he has three movies left as Thor in his contract with Marvel.
Hemsworth, who plays the mighty Norse god in the Avengers and Thor movie franchises, laughed off any talk that his contract with Marvel was up when he sat down for an interview with industry website Collider.com.
"I'm three films away from that happening, I've got Avengers 3 and 4 and I've got Thor 3 ... so we're really only half way through (my contract)," Hemsworth said.
Hemsworth's comment all but confirms he'll be appearing in Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2, despite rumours to the contrary.
And just because his deal is up after those films it doesn't mean that Thor will then leave the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Robert Downey Jr, who plays Iron Man, already fulfilled his original contract but recently signed on to play Tony Stark in the next two Avengers films.
When Hemsworth's time as Thor does finally come to an end the actor is sure he will still have some important work to do.
"Back to cleaning breast pumps," Hemsworth, a father of three young children, joked.
The latest instalment in The Avengers franchise, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, will be released in New Zealand cinemas on April 23. Thor: Ragnarok is scheduled to be released in 2017.
