Chris Hemsworth is in talks to star in Disney’s new Prince Charming movie, directed by Paul King. Deadline first reported last week that King was developing the picture, and now Hemsworth has confirmed that he is in talks to play the iconic character. Simon Farnaby and John Crocker co-wrote the book with King. The film is in development.
Disney has not commented on Hemsworth’s involvement.
Although plot details are unknown, the character of Prince Charming has many origins through literature. But when it comes to Disney, it’s usually the characters who are the love interests of many Disney princesses. Although many people associate him with classic animated pictures like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Snow White,” his true origin is “Cinderella,” and Cinderella’s actual lover is Prince Charming. .
As for the film project, sources added that the film is not specifically related to Cinderella.
Hemsworth has had a busy year, starting with the Mad Max movie Furiosa and voicing Optimus Prime in Paramount’s Transformers One. He is set to star in the thriller film “Crime 101,” currently in production by Amazon MGM Studios. He is repped by CAA and Morrissey Management.
