Chris Hemsworth Is Set To Star In Subversion

Plot & Character Details Were Revealed

Chris Hemsworth will be leading Amazon’s new submarine action movie, Subversion, with plot and character details being revealed. In 2024, Hemsworth turned in a career-best performance as the villainous Dementus in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and also provided the voice of Optimus Prime in the animated Transformers One. His upcoming projects include Amazon’s Crime 101 and Avengers: Doomsday, both set for theatrical releases in 2026. His rumored roles include the unтιтled Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover and a Prince Charming movie.

Now, he has added another role to his list of upcoming projects. According to ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, Hemsworth is set to star in Subversion, a submarine action movie at Amazon MGM Studios, directed by Patrick Vollrath (7500) with a script written by Andrew Ferguson. The film follows Hemsworth as “a once-promising Naval commander who is blackmailed by a cartel-like operation into piloting a dangerous submarine carrying illegal cargo across international waters, thrusting him into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, outmaneuvering blockades, and navigating perilous threats both in and outside of the submarine.”

Our Take On Chris Hemsworth Starring In Subversion

It Could Mark A Turning Point

Chris Hemsworth as Owen Chase, In the Heart of the Sea

When it comes to submarine movies, there are a number of touchstones, including Das Boot, The Hunt for Red October, and Crimson Tide. Subversion can learn from them by emphasizing suspense, тιԍнт pacing, and strong character conflict. While Chris Hemsworth has had an inconsistent track record with standalone action movies, Subversion could mark a turning point in his career with Patrick Vollrath at the helm, whose first feature was 7500, about a pilot whose plane is hijacked by terrorists. Hopefully, he can bring some of that same thrilling action from above the skies to under the sea.
