Chris Hemsworth Reacts to Kevin Costner Turning Him Down for a Film, Talks New 'Transformers' (Exclusive)


ET chatted with Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry about their upcoming animated film 'Transformers One,' premiering Sept. 13.

On Thursday, ET chatted with the Australian actor and his Transformers One co-star Brian Tyree Henry after Paramount's studio presentation at CinemaCon, during which Hemsworth recalled a script for a Kevin Costner project that he didn't get. According to Paramount, the film is "the long-awaited origin story of how the most iconic characters in the Transformers universe, Orion Pax and D-16, went from brothers-in-arms to become sworn enemies, Optimus Prime and Megatron." "I really joined this knowing that Chris was going to be my Optimus Prime and you just kind of play in that way cause you can feel the essence of who they are and then you sometimes get a chance to see what they do and you go, 'Oh I need to do this completely different,'" Henry told ET.
