A new heist thriller has seemingly found its leads in Marvel stars Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios, it will be an adaptation of the novella Crime 101 from prolific US thriller novelist Don Winslow.
Per Deadline, the film already has Hemsworth down to star and produce following on from his scene-stealing performance in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Now Bruce Banner star Ruffalo is circling the other role, as a follow-up for his Oscar nomination for Poor Things.
Based on a novella by Winslow, the story has familiar vibes for fans of Michael Mann’s Heat and Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario. It follows a detective called Lou Lubesnick as he tries to track down those responsible for a series of jewelry thefts on the Pacific Coast of America. Police have linked the crimes to Colombian cartels, but Lou thinks another man is behind the thefts, and zeroes in on the mastermind who is out to settle one final score.

The pair haven't officially signed up for any more Marvel movies yet, although it's likely they'll be back for more Avengers films. Hemsworth previously shared his frustration with his last performance as Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder, which he says "didn't stick the landing".
