Transformers’ upcoming G.I. Joe crossover will reportedly star Chris Hemsworth.

The actor, who is joining the Transformers franchise later this year as a younger Optimus Prime in the animated movie Transformers One, is in “talks” to join the untitled crossover movie (viaDeadline).

The seeds were planted for the crossover in last year’sTransformers: Rise of the Beasts. The movie’s ending features Anthony Ramos’ Noah meeting with Agent Burke (Michael Kelly), who offers him a new job and hands him a card for G.I. Joe.

“We expect there’s going to be some allegiance and they’re going to go on some kind of mission together,” producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura toldVarietylast year of the surprise scene.

Hemsworth is currently appearing as Dementus inFuriosa: A Mad Max Sagaalongside Anya Taylor-Joy, while he’s best known for playing Thor in the MCU.

Speaking toVanity Fair, the Australian actor revealed hewasn’t best pleasedby his performance inThor: Love and Thunder.

“I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself. I didn’t stick the landing,” he said. It’s not yet known when (or if) Hemsworth will play the God of Thunder again, but director Taika Waititisays he won’t be involvedin Thor 5 after helming both Love and Thunder and 2017’sThor: Ragnarok.
