The long-awaited Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover movie may have landed its first major star. On Thursday, reports indicated that Marvel Cinematic Universe and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star Chris Hemsworth is in talks to join the cast of the currently-untitled Transformers / G.I. Joe movie. Details of Hemsworth's potential role are currently under wraps.
If the deal comes to fruition, it would mark Hemsworth's second role in the Hasbro franchise, with the actor also starring as a younger version of Optimus Prime in the animated Transformers One movie, which is scheduled to make its debut in September of this year. What Is the Transformers / G.I. Joe Movie About?Officially announced by Paramount Pictures earlier this year, Transformers / G.I. Joe will finally introduce a live-action crossover between the two iconic Hasbro multimedia lines. The prospect of the crossover was first teased in the ending of 2023's Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
"We are going to deliver on the promise we made," di Bonaventura told ComicBook in a previous interview."We've talked about it since the beginning of the franchise because the fans have been like, 'Come on, when you are going to do Joe?!' The truth of the matter is there's so many great Transformers characters that we didn't feel like we needed to rush and do G.I. Joe. But you also want an organic way, otherwise it feels like a cynical exercise.
"We did our take on the origin, which is still staying true to the lore of Transformers," Transformers One director Josh Cooley previously told ComicBook."I wouldn't say that this is a direct prequel to anything that's been done with live-action ones," Cooley added."But it's definitely its own story as well."
