Chris Hemsworth Didn’t Land Role In Kevin Costner-Directed Film After Costner Cast Himself: “As Long As I’m Still Young Enough To Play It, I’ll Play It”


Chris Hemsworth wanted to play a role in a film project directed by Kevin Costner. However, the Thor actor soon discovered he had lost the part to Costner himself.

“There was a movie, a script that I’d read and loved and was like, ‘I want to get that,’ and then someone said, ‘Kevin Costner has that [role],’” Hemsworth said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. Hemsworth didn’t reveal what the film was about and described the movie as “abstract and interesting” and noted it was “a small story about a man and a woman.” ET interviewed Costner at CinemaCon last week and asked him about Hemsworth’s interest in the film he was directing.
