“Thor” star Chris Hemsworth will lend his rather-colossal muscles to Steven Spielberg’s next, “Robopocalypse”.

Deadline, not shedding any real light on who the Aussie actor would be playing in the blockbuster, says :

The script based on the Daniel H. Wilson epic novel about the human race’s attempt to survive an apocalyptic robot uprising was most recently adapted by hot screenwriter Drew Goddard (Cloverfield). Robopocalypse puts Spielberg back into the large-scale terrain that is important in his relationship with Reliance. Now Hemsworth would be Spielberg’s first casting on the film. (There’s no official offer on the table yet). It puts the hot Aussie hunk near the top of the list of Hollywood’s bankable action stars.

“Robopocalypse” is out April 25, 2014.
