After hammering $65 million at the box opening for the opening of ‘Thor’ in U.S. theaters, Australian actor, Chris Hemsworth is now being eyed to star opposite Kristen Stewart in ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’.

The Hollywood Reporter says Hemsworth is in talks to join the big-budget fairy tale adaptation and the ‘Thor’ star began talks with Universal last week and the studio has reportedly entered negotiations today.

Should the sun and moon be on Hemsworth’s side, Chris Hemsworth is expected to play the Huntsman, the secondary character in the fairy-tale and he will enjoy playing Snow White’s protector and mentor.

The film will be directed by Rupert Sanders and it also features Charlize Theron as the evil queen and Sam Claflin as K-Stew’s love interest. Claflin who plays the prince in Snow White has also appeared in the new 'Pirates of Caribbean'.

‘Snow White’ is a centuries-old fairy tale about a huntsman ordered to kill Snow White in the woods. But instead of taking her life as asked, the huntsman gave her another chance for life and the two escaped together.

The movie is set to be released on December 21, 2012 and as reported earlier by IBTimes, the film is expected to have a dogfight battle in theaters against the ‘Snow White’ version of Relativity Media set to hit theaters in June 2012.
