Destruction — Chris Hemsworth

Destruction is one of the less seen members of the Endless, and one who changes a lot over time. Earlier in the timeline (the story itself skips around mercilessly), he’s a boisterous, high-spirited, hard-living entity that immediately reminds me of Chris Hemsworth’s performance as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Later on, he despairs of his duty to oversee humankind’s destructive (and creative) activities and abandons his post, opting instead to focus on painting and hanging out with his dog.

Basically, think Thor from Thor combined with Thor from Avengers: Endgame, all with a bit more self-awareness and you’ve got Destruction. Hemsworth would be perfect.

Hemsworth has the required physical stature, too: Destruction already kind of seems like a Norse god, albeit one with red hair. Also acceptable would be Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) from Game of Thrones.
