9 characters who have been able to lift Thor's hammer
Disney
One of the running gags in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" revolves around Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, and the other Avengers' inability to lift it.
As legend goes, only those "deemed worthy" are able to lift Mjolnir.
In one of the film's more light-hearted scenes, Thor's teammates ranging from Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) to Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) all try their best to give it a lift. Though Captain America (Chris Evans) makes it budge, everyone's efforts prove futile.
You can check out the scene below.

So it's a complete shock later in the film when Vision (Paul Bettany) effortlessly picks up Thor's hammer to hand it to the Asgardian God.

Trying to figure out who gets to claim Mjolnir, Bill beats Thor in a fight, and Odin eventually creates a separate hammer for him.
