PerDeadline, the film already has Hemsworth down to star and produce following on from his scene-stealing performance inFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga. Now Bruce Banner star Ruffalo is circling the other role, as a follow-up for his Oscar nomination forPoor Things.
Based on a novella by Winslow, the story has familiar vibes for fans of Michael Mann’s Heat and Denis Villeneuve’sSicario. It follows a detective called Lou Lubesnick as he tries to track down those responsible for a series of jewelry thefts on the Pacific Coast of America. Police have linked the crimes to Colombian cartels, but Lou thinks another man is behind the thefts, and zeroes in on the mastermind who is out to settle one final score.
This isn’t the first time we’ve had an update on the movieas Pedro Pascal was previously linked to the film, but that casting fell through. If Ruffalo is cast, it would mark a reunion with Hemsworth, who he last starred with inAvengers: Endgame.
The pair haven’t officially signed up for any more Marvel movies yet, although it’s likely they’ll be back for more Avengers films. Hemsworth previously shared his frustration with his last performance as Thor inThor: Love and Thunder, whichhe says “didn’t stick the landing”.
