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.
This marks a second Transformers project for Hemsworth, who voice stars in the upcoming Transformers One animated movie, which arrives in theaters Sept. 20.
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.
.“The studio reacted positively, and they were just like, ‘Well, how do we do this? How do we make this happen?’” Caple told THR last year, noting there was a crossover graphic novel that could serve as inspiration. “It took almost two years to go through the whole system and talk to everybody and get a feel.”
The crossover everyone was asking for.
No, I specifically specified He-Man, She-Ra, AND the tiger as well.
No what we need is a direct sequel to Masters of the Universe.
This is sure to be a cinematic tour de force
It’s actually pretty nice of the author to recap how the last transformers movie ended. I’ve never seen it, and probably never will.
Ah, sorry about that. As it generated headlines at the time, I assumed anyone that cared either saw the movie or caught the news articles - I didn’t care but managed both and you really aren’t missing out by not seeing it.
You don’t have anything to apologize for. I was poking fun at the movie. You’re fine.
