Hemsworth’s Expanding Franchise Portfolio
After making a significant impact as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and earning praise for his role in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Hemsworth is poised to take on another blockbuster project.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian, Michael Bay, Tom DeSanto, and Don Murphy are producing the crossover, with Steven Spielberg and Hasbro Entertainment serving as executive producers.
