Chris Hemsworth Joins 100 Thieves in Unexpected Promo Stunt

In a recently released social media clip, Nadeshot introduced Chris Hemsworth as the latest addition to 100 Thieves, the esports organization Hemsworth originally founded several years ago. This move serves as a promotional tie-in for Hemsworth’s upcoming film, Crime 101, which stars him alongside Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, and Barry Keoghan, and is set to premiere on February 13.

On February 10, fans can watch a special one-shot livestream featuring both Nadeshot and Hemsworth. Additionally, a limited edition collection of 101 Thieves x Crime 101 apparel will be available for purchase exclusively at the 101 Thieves Compound in Los Angeles.

A Playful Introduction to Hemsworth’s Role with 101 Thieves

The promotional clip showed Nadeshot simulating frustration while playing the game ARC Raiders, claiming the need to recruit fresh talent rather than depending on established members. During this staged scouting effort, footage from Hemsworth’s new film was cleverly used to introduce him as a new member of 100 Thieves.

As the video concluded, Nadeshot officially welcomed Hemsworth to the team, only to be corrected by the actor himself:

“Thanks Nadeshot, but I think you mean 101 Thieves.”

Nadeshot then tweeted,

“101 Thieves is real. Welcome aboard, @ChrisHemsworth I’ll be in LA next week, let’s run some games. #Crime101 #ad,”

highlighting the upcoming collaboration.

Exploring Hemsworth’s Gaming Background and the Upcoming Collaboration

The promise of gaming sessions between Hemsworth and Nadeshot has sparked curiosity, especially as it remains unclear how familiar the actor is with video games. While Hemsworth was briefly shown playing Fortnite in Avengers: Endgame with characters Korg and Miek, his real-life gaming habits are largely unknown.

Publicly, Hemsworth has only casually referenced gaming and was once seen playing an older Thor-themed Xbox 360 game, leaving questions about any potential interest in current esports titles such as ARC Raiders. If Hemsworth turns out to have hidden gaming skills, he might even surprise Nadeshot with his abilities.

What Fans Can Expect Next in This Unique Partnership

This playful crossover emphasizes the expanding connections between entertainment industries and esports. With Hemsworth’s involvement promoted alongside the 101 Thieves brand and the release of Crime 101, this partnership could attract new audiences to both the film and the gaming team.

Fans interested in following the collaboration or sharing thoughts are encouraged to join discussions on the Insider Gaming Discord server. Meanwhile, esports watchers can look ahead to upcoming events such as the IEM Krakow semifinals, where 100 Thieves continues to maintain a competitive presence.
