The multiple Oscar-winning filmmaker, Steven Spielberg has reportedly taken a meeting with Thor and Marvel’s The Avengers star Chris Hemsworth and decided that he wants the actor to play in his sci-fi/action film adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s book, ‘Robopocalypse’.

With an official April 25th, 2014 release date, Robopocalypse is set to be Spielberg’s next directorial project after Lincoln.
