Despite their talent and popularity as MLB stars, Bryce Harper, Freddie Freeman, and other MLB players might not be worthy enough to lift Thor's hammer, aka Mjölnir. In a recent video now going viral, Harper, Freeman, and several other MLB All-Stars appeared in a promotional crossover for Marvel Cinematic Universe's upcoming Avengers; Doomsday.

In the crossover promo, the MLB stars attempted to lift Thor's Mjölnir but hilariously failed. The viral clip features Chris Hemsworth (known for playing Thor in the MCU) stepping in to effortlessly pick up the weapon, teasing the players for not being “worthy.” However, in the end, Hemsworth hilariously trolls them by adding that he bolted the hammer, making it impossible for them to lift.

Fans also took notice of the playful crossover and started having fun with it. “Syndergaard should’ve walked by winked at Hemsworth and left the scene… Epic,” wrote one fan, as a reference to Noah Syndergaard's nickname as Thor. “It should have moved a little when Miz tried. Like when Cap did,” wrote another fan. “A whole league of guys who lift for a living and the hammer didn't even wiggle. Thor showed up just to flex on them,” trolled another fan.

The promo features Bryce Harper, Freddie Freeman, Jacob Misiorowski, Junior Caminero, and Randy Arozarena in their attempt to check their worthiness. In another video, the five are also seen surviving a pitch attempt by Pedro Pascal's Mr.Fantastic.

Avengers: Doomsday is now very close to its release date. Directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, Doomsday is scheduled to release on Dec. 18, 2026. The film will also feature the returns of Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. in important roles.
