Chris Hemsworth, renowned for his role as Thor, is negotiating to play Prince Charming in Disney's new movie. The production specifics remain undisclosed, and it is unclear whether it will be live-action or animated. Paul King, known for 'Wonka', is set to direct and co-write the project.

Chris Hemsworth, famous for his portrayal of Thor in the Marvel universe, is reportedly in discussions to assume the iconic role of Prince Charming in Disney's forthcoming film. Details about the plot are being tightly guarded, and it remains uncertain whether the production will be live-action or animated, according to a report by Variety.

The movie will be helmed by Paul King, acclaimed for his direction of 'Wonka'. King is also collaborating on the screenplay with Simon Farnaby and Jon Croker. Hemsworth has been quite occupied with various projects lately. He recently lent his voice to Optimus Prime in the animated feature 'Transformers One' and portrayed the antagonist Dementus in 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga', where he acted alongside Anya Taylor-Joy.

Up next for Hemsworth is the thriller 'Crime 101', produced by Amazon MGM Studios, co-starring Halle Berry, Barry Keoghan, and his fellow Avengers colleague Mark Ruffalo. Based on Don Winslow's short story, the film revolves around a series of unresolved jewelry thefts along the Pacific Coast Highway, with Hemsworth portraying a solitary thief planning a final heist while being pursued by a detective. Director Paul King, fresh from the triumph of 'Wonka' with Timothee Chalamet, will oversee 'Prince Charming'. Despite the buzz, Disney has yet to verify Hemsworth's casting, as per Variety.
