Chris Hemsworth’s next Netflix blockbuster
30th September: Although Chris Hemsworth is famous for playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he has undeniably done a fantastic job in various other notable projects over the last decade.
He has starred as mercenary Tyler Rake in the Netflix action flick Extraction, which has now become the streaming service’s most-watched original movie yet.
Chris Hemsworth has already been signed by Netflix for the upcoming Hulk Hogan biopic, and reports state that he’ll also be churning out more action for the streaming giant.

The talented actor has also signed onto Spiderhead, a sci-fi film that’s being directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski and written by Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The movie is based on the same-named short story by George Saunders.
According to Deadline, Whiplash’s Miles Teller, and Birds of Prey’s Jurnee Smollett will be starring alongside Chris Hemsworth on Spiderhead. The movie is set in the near future when convicts are offered the opportunity to shorten their sentences by becoming medical test subjects.
The story will majorly focus on two prisoners who are exposed to emotional-altering drugs in a program overseen by a “brilliant visionary,” with the drugs forcing them to confront their pasts.
As of yet, it’s unclear whenSpiderhead will be released, although it can be speculated that the Hulk Hogan biopic will arrive on Netflix before Spiderhead. Along with these projects, Hemsworth will also be working on Thor: Love and Thunder, which is set to be released on February 11, 2022.
However, Deadline’s article also claims that this will be Joseph Kosinski’s next movie, therefore we might see the movie sooner than expected.
Whenever Spiderhead ends up being released, considering the talent involved in its production, this project can potentially be one of Netflix’s bigger cinematic offerings. It could even perhaps catch more steam than that of Extraction and become Netflix’s most new most-watched original movie yet.
To accomplish that however, over 99 million households would need to watch Spiderhead within the first four weeks of its release; surely a difficult goal to achieve.
We should also mention that Chris Hemsworth’s time as Tyler Rake isn’t over as shortly after Extraction was premiered, it was reported that Netflix brought back Joe Russo to pen a sequel, with the intention being for both Hemsworth and director Sam Graves to return as well.
Although Extraction 2 is still in the planning stages, therefore it’s a good bet that Spiderhead will arrive before the highly anticipated sequel.
