Rumors from The Hollywood Reporter suggest that Chris Hemsworth is in talks to star in the upcoming Transformers X G.I. Joe live-action movie.
Mr. Hemsworth is no stranger to Hasbro franchises as he is the main voice lead in the Transformers: One animated movie.
“Chris Hemsworth is doubling down on Transformers. The actor is in talks to lead an untitled crossover film for Paramount and Hasbro Entertainment that unites the Transformers and G.I. Joe franchises, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The proposed film follows the events of last year’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which ended with Anthony Ramos’ Noah Diaz getting a job offer from the Joes. Director Steven Caple Jr. put the ending the script at the encouragement of producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, with the filmmakers knowing it could take some maneuvering to make it happen.”
It is unclear if he will reprise his role as Optimus Prime or play a G.I. Joe character.
