Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry Discuss Upcoming Heist Film “Crime 101”
Stars Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry are set to appear in the upcoming Los Angeles-based heist film, “Crime 101.” The duo shared their insights during a recent chat with “Extra’s” Roqui Theus at the Amazon MGM event at CinemaCon 2025.
The film has sparked comparisons to the 1995 classic “Heat,” a crime drama featuring big-name actors Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and the late Val Kilmer. Halle praised Kilmer’s talents, calling him an “incredible actor.” Chris echoed her sentiment, recalling, “He was one of my favorite actors growing up, with so many iconic roles in his films.”
When it comes to “Crime 101,” Chris noted that it draws on several influences, including “Heat” and “The Thomas Crown Affair.” He explained, “It’s a heist film that intertwines the lives of three distinct characters from varied backgrounds who unexpectedly need something from each other. It blends intellectual complexities with physical action, featuring thrilling car chases. We’re excited about it and proud of the work we’ve put into it.”
Reflecting on their time on set, Halle stated, “This has been one of the best film sets I’ve ever worked on. The men involved in this film are true gentlemen, which isn’t always the case in our industry, making this a wonderful experience for me.”
Relationships and Inspiration on Set
Chris added that the collaborative atmosphere was inspiring. He commented, “We had fantastic material to work with, and the individual interactions with the cast, many of whom I have admired for years, made for an incredible learning experience. To witness them at work was a dream come true.”
As for the Marvel cinematic universe, Chris will reprise his role as Thor in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday,” alongside various “X-Men” characters. Curious about the potential return of her character Storm, we asked Halle, but she quickly dismissed the possibility, saying, “Nope.”
Chris humorously responded, “I was hoping… I was like, ‘Do you know something I don’t?’” To which Halle reiterated, “Nope.”
