Chris Hemsworth has his hands full with major franchise films, reprising his performance as Thor in both Avengers: Age of Ultron and Thor: Ragnarok (due to be released in 2017), as well as starring in the follow-up to Snow White and the Huntsman, titled simply The Huntsman. So far, so obvious. But he's also appearing in something a little more out of his comfort zone. In the Heart of the Sea will see him join a cast of incredibly well-regarded actors, including Cillian Murphy, Ben Whishaw, and Brendan Gleeson, to bring to life the story of a whaling ship which was attacked by a sperm whale in the 1830s, leaving its crew stranded in the ocean for over three months.
