Chris Hemsworth Joins The Cast Of Dundee

As we reported this past weekend, Danny McBride is set to play the star of Mick ‘Crocodile’ Dundee in the unlikely reboot/sequel Dundee. Paul Hogan is also set to return to play Dundee. Now, the official website for the project says that Chris Hemsworth is also onboard, as he’ll play Wally Jr., the son of Dundee’s business partner Walter “Wally” Reilly (played by John Meillon in the first two films).

The character description for Wally Jr reads: “This expert outdoorsman prides himself on knowing all the is to know about the land down under. But even he will have his hands full keeping his new American friend out of trouble.”

Here’s a synopsis: Crocodile Dundee is back. Well, actually, he’s missing in the Outback. And the only person who might be able to find him is the loudmouthed American son no one knew he had. Introducing Danny McBride as Brian Dundee. This son of a legend is forced to channel his Aussie roots as he embarks on the ultimate adventure in the land down under. It’s time to live up to the family name. Unlike his father, Brian grew up a true city kid. But that won’t stop him from picking up his dad’s oversized knife and launching into the Australian outback, completely unprepared for what lies ahead.
