Chris Hemsworth to Star in Action Movie "Subversion"

Chris Hemsworth is set to star in the submarine action flick "Subversion" at Amazon MGM Studios.

Patrick Vollrath (7500) is directing the movie from a script by Andrew Ferguson, and Di Bonaventura Pictures producing.

"Subversion" follows a once-promising Naval commander (Chris Hemsworth) who is blackmailed by a cartel-like operation into piloting a dangerous submarine carrying illegal cargo across international waters, thrusting him into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, outmaneuvering blockades, and navigating perilous threats both in and outside of the submarine.

The movie reunites Hemsworth with Amazon MGM Studios as he’s also starring in Crime 101 for writer-director Bart Layton alongside Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Halle Berry, and Monica Barbaro, which is set to be released theatrically next year.

The project reunites four-time Black List honoree Ferguson with the studio, where his script Blood Rush is in development.

Coming off of projects like "Extraction II" and "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" — where he gave a career-best performance as Dementus — and "Transformers One", Hemsworth is confirmed to reprise his role as Thor in "Avengers: Doomsday", which also hits theaters in 2026. Other projects to which he’s recently been linked include an Untitled Transformers/G.I. Joe Crossover at Paramount and a Prince Charming movie that Paul King is expected to direct for Disney, if the studio doesn’t completely back off from live-action films, in the wake of "Snow White".
