“He will have to wait his turn”: why Kevin Costner disappointed Chris Hemsworth



Star vs. Super Star

Even though we might be an international star, hero in Hollywood and the interpreter of Thor, there is still a long way to go to get to where Kevin Costner is. This is exactly what happened, in fact, to Chris Hemsworth, who was refused a role by his prestigious father, superstar of the 80s and 90s, world-famous actor and two-time Oscar-winning director for Dancing with Wolves in 1991.

Chris Hemsworth recently revealed that Show tonight who fought to get the main role in a project developed by Kevin Costner, but without success. Why did Kevin Costner refuse to give him this role? For an undeniable reason, since Kevin Costner followed the saying that he never served himself as well as himself, and therefore gave himself the main role in his film.

“I’m the one who does it, boy.”

In this interview, Chris Hemsworth explained:

There was this movie, I read the script and I really liked it, so I said “I want to do it” and someone said “Kevin Costner has this role”. I would like to play under his direction. I thought, “Fuck!” I recently spent an hour trying to convince him, and he said, “I’m the one who does it, kid.” It did not work. I didn’t get the role.

A few days earlier, Kevin Costner himself had spoken to Entertainment Tonight about his refusal to give up the role to Chris Hemsworth.

It’s a love story, but as long as I’m young enough to play it, I’ll play it. Chris will have to wait his turn. He is so attractive and so good. He will have to find his own love story. But I’m flattered that he likes this. When the time comes that I can’t do it anymore, I’ll let him know. He’s obviously one of our best protagonists at the moment.

An “abstract” film about a man and a woman

Described by Chris Hemsworth as something “abstract” and a “little” story about a man and a woman, so it’s not about the film series Horizon – whose first work will be presented at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival – that Chris Hemsworth was rejected. But as the lead actor of Tyler Rakeit’s a film with horses, which also attracted him to take on this role.

My wife read the script and loves horses. We have 10 or 11 at home, so she kept insisting, “You have to do this.”

It won’t be this time, but in any case the discussion is open if one day we will see Chris Hemsworth in front of Kevin Costner’s camera.
