Chris Hemsworth, who starred in Kenneth Branagh's critically acclaimed $150 million production Thor, has agreed to play the lead in Columbia Pictures' action thriller Shadow Runner, Variety reports.
The flick is based on an original idea by Oscar-nominated writer Hossein Amini, who wrote the screenplay for Ryan Gosling's new film Drive, 2008 film Killshot, The Four Feathers (2002) and 1997's The Wings of a Dove. The plot remains underwraps.
Plot details are being kept secret but the project is based on an original idea from Hossein Amini, who is one of the writers of Snow White and the Huntsman, which also stars Hemsworth.
Australia-born Hemsworth is best known for his star-turning performance as "Thor," a character he will reprise in next summer's "The Avengers."
Sony last month picked up U.S. distribution rights to "Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow's timely movie on the killing of Osama bin Laden by an elite Navy Seal team.
