Actor Chris Hemsworth is in the spotlight. - Is the next major success in the making?
In Hollywood, it's difficult to look past Chris Hemsworth (40) when it comes to action motion pictures. With his portrayal of Thor, he gained international recognition and has been featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2011. At present, Hemsworth stars on the big screen in "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and may soon take on a "Transformers" role.
Two Roles in "Transformers" in Quick Succession
Reports suggest Chris Hemsworth could be given a leading part in an upcoming "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe" crossover project, as per "Variety" and "Deadline." This would make his second "Transformers" role within a short timeframe. Hemsworth provides the voice of Orion Pax/Optimus Prime in the animated film "Transformers One," which is set to premiere on October 10. Other voices contributing to the film include Brian Tyree Henry (42), Scarlett Johansson (39), Jon Hamm (53), and Keegan-Michael Key (53).
At the moment, it remains uncertain what character Hemsworth could portray in the crossover. "Deadline" has mentioned that the earlier "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe" films have earned more than six billion dollars collectively at the box office globally. Michael Bay (59) is anticipated to be involved as a director, with Steven Spielberg (77) and Hasbro Entertainment as the principal producers. Hasbro is well-known for its popular toy lines, including "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe."
Recently, Hemsworth experienced both excitement and disillusionment. He received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame but faced disappointment when his film "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" with Anya Taylor-Joy (28) failed to meet box office targets.
