EW says:
It’s certainly been a big few days for Chris Hemsworth: The Australian actor is the star of the number one movie in the United States – thanks to Thor‘s $66 million dollar opening weekend (making it the second biggest opening of the year after last week’s Fast Five) — and has been on the receiving end of positive reviews. And now EW can confirm that he’s been offered the role of the huntsman in Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman.
Watch out world - looks like Hemsworth is going to be in EVERYTHING for the next little while. Ironically, I heard that both he and his brother auditioned for the role of Thor.
Yes they both did and he won out but they seem to be okay with it for now. We'll see how long that last.
