Hollywood could be revisiting the legendary story of Troy, and rumors suggest that Chris Hemsworth might be the one to take on the role of Achilles in a new adaptation. While no official announcements have been made, discussions in industry circles hint at a potential reboot of the 2004 film, which starred Brad Pitt as the fearless Greek warrior.
If this project moves forward, it’s possible that the film could take a different approach from the previous adaptation. The 2004 version leaned heavily into realism, ᵴtriƥping away much of the mythology from Homer’s Iliad, but a new take might explore the more mythical aspects of the Trojan War—something that could suit Hemsworth’s action-packed style.
Speculation also points to the involvement of a high-profile director, with some believing that a filmmaker known for large-scale action, such as David Leitch or Chad Stahelski, could be interested in taking on the project. However, there has been no word on who else might be involved, and it’s unclear whether this would be a full reboot or a fresh interpretation of Achilles’ story.
