Spiderhead First Look
Posted By:

If you can't get enough of Chris Hemsworth, we wouldn't blame you, and this week the fickle gods of entertainment have been generous in first giving us a teaser for the next Thor film and also a first look at Netflix's Spiderhead.

By look unfortunately we don't mean footage but Entertainment Weekly has published some photos and an interview with the director and some of the cast.

While Chris wasn't one of them as a main character he features in a few photos.

What's the film about?

Want to fall in love — or improve your vocabulary! — in an instant? Chris Hemsworth has the answer.

In Netflix's new sci-fi film Spiderhead, the Thor star plays Steve Abnesti, a scientist who tests drugs on convicts at a remote, state-of-the-art penitentiary. The twist: The drugs dramatically, and immediately, alter the moods and abilities of the inmates. The problem: Not all of the emotions enhanced by Abnesti's experiments are positive ones.

That's very basic as sci-fi concepts go but the EW article details that its writers' credits include Deadpool and Zombieland so it could be solid.

Spiderhead releases on Netflix on June 17.
