Over two decades after Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy (2004) brought the legendary tale of Achilles to the big screen, there’s growing speculation that Hollywood might revisit the ancient world—with Chris Hemsworth possibly at the center of it. Rumors have been circulating about a new adaptation of The Iliad, and some insiders believe Hemsworth is being considered for the lead. Rather than a direct sequel to Petersen’s film, this new project could be a fresh take on Homer’s The Iliad, exploring the Trojan War with modern filmmaking techniques and a new perspective. Some reports suggest the film would delve deeper into the gods’ influence on the war, something the 2004 version largely omitted. Hemsworth, known for his portrayal of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has the physicality and screen presence to embody a warrior like Achilles or even Hector. While no casting decisions have been made, fans are already debating whether he’d be a better fit as the ruthless Greek hero or the noble Trojan prince.
