20 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies

1. Chris Hemsworth (Ghostbusters)

The Role: It was just announced that the Thor star has been cast in the upcoming all-female Ghostbusters reboot as the receptionist for their HQ, an iconic and memorable role from the original films. Why It's Unexpected: Because it's such a hilarious inversion of the original Ghostbusters model, where the receptionist was cute-but-nerdy. Is Hemsworth going to be turned into a super-nerd, or will he maintain his chiseled, handsome look? Will It Work?: Even if the rest of the film is a bust, this sounds like it'll be hilarious. It's just a shame they had to actually announce it rather than keep it as a surprise for the release date. Which unexpected, against-type performances are you most looking forward to seeing? Shout them out in the comments!
