100 Thieves Teams Up With Chris Hemsworth for ‘Crime 101’ Campaign
Key Takeaways
- 100 Thieves and Chris Hemsworth announce collaboration ahead of the release of Crime 101
- Crime 101 is a crime thriller that Hemsworth is starring in
- The campaign will feature a live stream with Nadeshot of 100 Thieves and Hemsworth, exclusive apparel, and in-person event
100 Thieves, the North American esports and lifestyle organization, has announced that it'll be collaborating with Thor star Chris Hemsworth.
The collaboration is part of a promotional campaign for Crime 101, a crime thriller scheduled for release on Feb. 13, 2026. Hemsworth is both an actor and producer in the film.

Announcement On X
On X, 100 Thieves' account posted a 1-minute, 17-second video featuring Nadeshot saying they needed someone like Hemsworth on their team, citing his role in the movie where he's portrayed as a thief.
He then welcomes him to 100 Thieves before Hemsworth comes on screen and says, "Thank you, Nadeshot, but I think you mean 101 Thieves."
Welcome, number 101.
