Australian actor Chris Hemsworth has just been cast as the lead in Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s highly anticipated Cabin in the Woods, according to Variety magazine.
The Aussie heart throb is in good company, as the cast line up also include veteran actors Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins.
Well known for his regular role as Kim Hyde on Australia’s popular T.V series Home and Away, the ex soap star will introduce himself to a whole new fan base, when he plays George Kirk, Captain James T. Kirk’s father, in J.J. Abrams‘ rendition of the sci-fi classic Star Trek.
