Chris Hemsworth is in negotiations to star in Disney's upcoming film 'Prince Charming,' directed by Paul King.

Entertainment insider Jeff Sneider first reported Hemsworth's involvement, indicating that the project is moving forward.

Disney has been developing 'Prince Charming' since 2015, following the success of Kenneth Branagh's live-action 'Cinderella,' which grossed over $540 million worldwide.

Insiders have confirmed that the film will not be a retelling of Cinderella's story and that Cinderella will not appear in the film.

The script for 'Prince Charming' is being co-written by Paul King, Simon Farnaby, and Jon Croker.

While specific plot details remain confidential, the film is expected to explore the origins of Prince Charming, a character first seen in 'Cinderella.'

Paul King, known for directing the 'Paddington' films and the recent musical 'Wonka,' will helm the project.

Hemsworth, best known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has had a busy year with multiple projects, including voicing Optimus Prime in 'Transformers One'.

There are speculations that the film may critique the stock character trope, similar to Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie.'

It is currently unknown whether the film will be a musical.

The narrative could potentially explore variations of the classic stock character seen in Disney fairy tales like 'Snow White' and 'Sleeping Beauty.'

Disney has not commented on the casting news or the film's details.
