Aussie thesp Chris Hemsworth has reportedly been offered a cool $10 million to play the lead in the upcoming thriller American Assassin, an adaptation of the bestselling Vince Flynn spy novel of the same name.
Traitor director Jeffrey Nachmanoff, who replaced Edward Zwick back in February, took over the gig, working from a script by Mike Finch and Bruce Willis is still in talks to star as a CIA mentor.
Since it’s a prequel, American Assassin acts as the start of a potential new franchise for CBS Films and pairing the duo should prove nigh unstoppable at the box office.
Hemsworth is currently shooting a Thor sequel and then he’ll star in the Steven Spielberg-directed Robopocalypse, with Anne Hathaway.
