Chris Hemsworth in Talks to Star in Transformers/G.I. Joe Crossover Movie
Reports have confirmed that Hemsworth is being eyed to star in Paramount Pictures' Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover movie.
The details regarding the role that the MCU star will potentially play in the movie are still under wraps.
Interestingly enough, Hemsworth is already part of the Transformers franchise since he is voicing Optimus Prime in the upcoming animated film Transformers One and his involvement poses a question on whether he will reprise the role or if he will play an entirely different human character.
So far, there is no director attached yet to the project as Transformers: Rise of the Beasts director Steven Caple Jr. is not confirmed to return. Michael Bay will serve as one of the producers.
While we don't know yet what Hemsworth will play in the film, it is still exciting casting news since he is a talented leading actor and he could bring something special to the project that a movie star of his caliber can do.
Since the movie is still in development, it might take a while before we see it move forward to production, but we are seeing promising signs that it will happen soon, and having Hemsworth attached could help them attract more talent to the project.
