Chris Hemsworth eyes role in epic G.I. Joe-Transformers crossover

Chris Hemsworth is in talks to star in the upcoming G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover film. This news follows Hemsworth's involvement in the animated film Transformers One, where he voices Optimus Prime/Orion Pax. Paramount Pictures has confirmed the project, which will also see Steven Spielberg as executive producer. The crossover was teased at the end of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, hinting at a merged universe between the two franchises. Hemsworth, known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, continues to expand his involvement in major film franchises.

As of now, Chris Hemsworth is in talks and has not been confirmed for the role in the G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover film.

The G.I. Joe and Transformers franchises have both enjoyed long histories in both toy and entertainment industries. The Transformers franchise began in the 1980s with toy lines and an animated TV series, eventually leading to a series of live-action films starting in 2007 directed by Michael Bay. G.I. Joe also started as a toy line in the 1960s and has had its own animated series and live-action films. The crossover film will be the first live-action merger of the two iconic franchises, potentially creating a new era for both universes.
