Yes, challenges and the thought that they're crazy to hire him.

In an interview, he said he might do the "one for me one for you" formula, but even then, I feel like he wouldn't want to stay in the same house all the time, he'd want to branch out and try other things.

Yeah, I wouldn't want him to stuck in Marvel machine for too long, because it takes too much energy and time off him while he could do plenty more of his movies instead. Sure, the money is good, but I want to see more of his own films.

I find Thor 4 (or as Waititi calls it, Thor: Ragnarok 2) unlikely to happen, but I really enjoyed the last one, as they made possibly my least favourite Marvel character enjoyable. I'd be down for another if Waititi is in.

And then we get this from Chris,

His current Marvel contract is up with Avengers 4's release on May 3, 2019.
"Contractually, right now — yeah, this is it. I’m done. I won’t be playing the character again," says Hemsworth.
"It’s sort of a scary thought," he adds. "This really seemed like this never-ending thing. And now it’s potentially finishing." [...]
Hemsworth says he's discussed this with Marvel president Kevin Feige during Avengers filming.
"(Feige) said, 'Look, we just have to concentrate on (Avengers) now,' " says Hemsworth. "So who knows? There are 76 cast members in these two Avengers films. They will be the biggest films of all time, far bigger than my character. It’s a conversation for further down the road, if it was going to happen."

It's been mentioned a few times last year. I'll find those articles and post here, and here's the recent one,

Chris Hemsworth visualized 'Thor 4' with director Taika Waititi on New Year's Eve

Chris Hemsworth had much to be thankful for on New Year's Eve. Family, health and, oh yeah, that major success with the box office smash Thor: Ragnarok.
So it was helpful that Hemsworth rang in the New Year in Australia with his family and Ragnarok's director Taika Waititi — his partner-in-crime in redefining the Thor character so brilliantly in the critically acclaimed Ragnarok.
"We gave cheers... a few times," Hemsworth tells USA TODAY.
They even talked what-ifs. Hemsworth's contract with Marvel Studios ends with Avengers 4, which he just completed. So that could technically mark an end to his Thor days.
But Hemsworth and Waititi couldn't help talking about the question on the minds of fans of the rejuvenated Norse demigod — what if the (wise) studio decision was made to re-team Hemsworth and Waititi for a fourth Thor film.
"We gave cheers to Thor 3. But it also was like what could we do with four? We could do this and this. We were throwing ideas around," says Hemsworth. "But also, just to work together again. That was one of the most enjoyable creative partnerships I’ve ever had."
The Thor discussion is going to have to wait until after Hemsworth appears with the Guardians of the Galaxy crew in Avengers: Infinity War (opening May 4) and in Avengers 4 (May 3, 2019), which is still shooting with its supreme cast of superhero characters.
"It just depends on how The Avengers (movies) all wrap up," says Hemsworth. "I finished shooting and now they are going to edit it and see how the stories play out. There are so many interwoven scenes and stories and characters."
"(Thor 4) is a conversation for further down the road, if it happens," Hemsworth adds.
