Deadline claims Hemsworth has been made a $10 million offer to play terrorist hunter Mitch Rapp in the action-thriller: "The novel is a prequel that explains how tragedy transformed Rapp from a college scholar and athlete into a ruthless hunter of terrorists for the CIA."

Also in talks to join the film is Bruce Willis, who would play Rapp’s mentor.

Jeffrey Nachmanoff (Homeland, Traitor) will direct from a script by Mike Finch, who rewrote an earlier draft by Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz.

Hemsworth's next film after wrapping Thor: The Dark World will be Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse
