Chris Hemsworth thanks fans for their support as he’s named the Action Movie Star of 2020

Chris Hemsworth has been named the Action Movie Star of 2020 at the E! People’s Choice Awards. 

The 37-year-old Australian actor picked up the award for his role in the hit Netlfix original movie, Extraction. 

On Tuesday, Chris thanked fans for their support after taking home the prize and even promised fans a sequel. 

‘I want to say a massive thank you for the People’s Choice Award, it’s absolutely fantastic. You guys are the greatest, thank you everyone who voted, who got involved, all the fans, for their support for this film, everyone for watching the movie,’ Chris said in a video shared to his Instagram. 

‘We wanted to make a film that was different, unique, exciting, full of action but one that really pushed the envelope… and I think we achieved that but none of it was possible without your support. I’m forever in your debt.’

He finished: ‘It was one of the most incredible experiences I ever had on the set and we’re going to try and make a couple more for you guys.’

He captioned the Instagram post: ‘Just like the narrative of this film, I extracted the win right out from under the noses of some truly fine performances.’

‘With brute force and mayhem and little regard for my own safety or anyone else’s I pushed forth to victory only to topple off a bridge and sink to my death….or did I……not sure, you’ll have to check out the sequel coming soon.’ 

‘Massive thanks to everyone for their support on this little independent rom com!’

Chris was up for the award alongside the likes of Margot Robbie for Birds of Prey, Chralize Theron for The Old Guard, and Will Smith for Bad Boys for Life. 

Chris was nominated for two E! People’s Choice Awards for his role as Tyler Rake in Extraction: Male Movie Star of 2020 and Action Movie Star of 2020.

Extraction also received nominations for Movie of 2020 and Action Movie of 2020.

Last month, after being nominated, Chris posted a video and said he would be ‘unemployed’ if it wasn’t for his army of supporters around the world. 

Extraction is Netflix’s most-watched original film of all time.

The 2020 mercenary-gone-rogue movie beat out Sandra Bullock’s 2018 post-apocalyptic thriller Birdbox on the popular streaming service.

Extraction was viewed by 99 million Netflix accounts within the first month of its release, according to CNet. 

It also beat the critically-acclaimed fantasy series The Witcher, which is based on the popular book series and video game.

However, Netflix’s numbers are to be taken with a grain of salt, because a ‘view’ is counted after only two minutes of play time.

For Extraction, this means the film could be considered watched by Netflix’s algorithm even before the viewer heard a single line of spoken dialogue.
