Following up on the recent revelation of the team-up that never came to be, Entertainment Tonight asked Kevin Costner directly about taking over the gig that Chris Hemsworth missed out on.
Assessing the role, Costner explained, “It’s a love story, but as long as I’m still young enough to play it, I’ll play it. Chris will have to wait his turn.” Even so, the enthusiasm for the part expressed by the star who missed out on the role was appreciated, and Costner had nothing but good things to say about Hemsworth and his reputation in Hollywood.
“He’s so handsome, and he’s so good,” the “Horizon” director said of Hemsworth. “He’s going to have to go find his [own] love story. [But] I’m glad he likes this one. If I reach a moment where I [don’t] think I could do that, I would [reach out]. He’s certainly one of our great leading men right now.” Whenever this unnamed project enters production, it’ll most likely be after Costner has fully released “Horizon: An American Saga,” which is currently scheduled to ride into theaters on June 28, with the second part wandering in behind it on August 16.
