Chris Hemsworth is in talks to star as titular character in Disney’s new Prince Charming pic with Paul King on board to direct. Deadline first reported last week that King was developing the pic and can now confirm that Hemsworth is in talks to play the iconic character. Simon Farnaby and Jon Croker are co-writing along with King. The film is in development.
Disney had no comment on Hemsworth’s involvement.
While plot details are unknown, the Prince Charming character has many origins throughout literature but when it comes to Disney is usually linked to the character that becomes of the love interest of many of the Disney princesses. While many have linked him to classic animated pics like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, his true origin is Cinderella, where Cinderella’s actual love interest is Prince Charming. As for the the film project, insiders do add that the film will not specifically be linked to Cinderella.
Hemsworth has had a busy year starting with the Mad Max pic Furiousa as well as voicing Optimus Prime in Paramount’ s Transformers One movie. He is set to star in Amazon MGM Studios thriller Crime 101, which is set to shoot later this year.
He is repped by CAA and Morrissey Management. The InSneider Newsletter first reported Hemsworth’s involvement.
