Chris Hemsworth is in negotiations to join the upcoming crossover between Paramount's "Transformers" and "G.I. joe" franchises. Hemsworth is also starring in the animated movie "Transformers One", in which he voices young Optimus Prime. The two popular '80s brands have crossed over in Marvel comics before, but this would be the first time they come together on the big screen.

The crossover was first teased at the end of "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" and officially confirmed at this year's CinemaCon by Paramount. The scene in question finds Anthony Ramos' character Noah meets a shady government operative named Agent Burke, played "House of Cards" star Michael Kelly. He hands Noah a business card, after saving the world with the Autobots, and it's revealed Burke works for the G.I. Joes, a special team of commandos.

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said the following: "Noah goes from somebody who cannot get a job, to a guy who gets the greatest job ever. It really felt organic to put it in here because you could relate it to the story. It didn’t feel like we were being cynical and like, ‘Good news, we could just jam G.I. Joes in here.’ The fans want a lot of things; if we do it and we don’t figure it out well, they’re going to be disappointed. It took us a while to figure out the Maximals, and now we have the hint of how to begin the Joes story."

Di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian, Michael Bay, Tom DeSanto & Don Murphy will produce the crossover, and Steven Spielberg and Hasbro Entertainment will executive produce.
