Chris Hemsworth at Kevin Costner? It’s not for now! The interpreter of Thor revealed to Entertainment Tonight that he had tried to convince Kevin Costner to give him the lead role in his next film but in vain… The 69-year-old director and actor is determined to play the role himself.
Chris Hemsworth has indeed read the script for a feature film that Kevin Costner plans to direct. Note that this is not one of the films in the 4-part epic Horizon: an American saga. The project the Australian actor is referring to appears to be a still-secretive film that Costner is linked to.
“I spent an hour trying to convince him.”
The Thor star declared: “There was a script that I read and loved and I immediately said I wanted to do this movie. But someone said, ‘Kevin Costner is going to play the role.’ I would love to have him in as a director. I spent an hour trying to convince him to let me star in the film and he said, “I’ll do it, dude.” .”

Kevin Costner doesn’t give up
AND then contacted Kevin Costner for details on the film, the filmmaker responded that it was a love story before adding: “As long as I’m still young enough to play him, I’ll play him. Chris will have to wait his turn. Hemsworth is handsome, and he’s good. He’ll have to go find his own love story. But I’m glad he likes This one. If I feel at any point that I ultimately can’t do it, I’ll get in touch. He’s one of our big players at the moment.”
