In the clip, Hemsworth’s mysterious Steve Abnesti uses some kind of experimental drug to get two inmates of his facility to admit how they really feel about each other. You can check out the full clip below!
Spiderheadย is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who also helmed the upcomingย Top Gun: Maverick, which has been met with rave reviews. The script is written byย Deadpoolย scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, based on the short story by George Saunders.
While Hemsworth is best known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he’s been building a fruitful partnership with Netflix as of late.ย Extractionย delivered the fifth-biggest opening ever for a Netflix original movie and Hemsworth has already returned to film a sequel, which doesn’t have a release date just yet. He also executive produced the new Netflix action filmย Interceptor, which stars his real-life wife Elsa Pataky.
Here’s the official synopsis for Netflix’sย Spiderhead:
“In a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by brilliant visionary Steve Abnesti (Chris Hemsworth), inmates wear a surgically attached device that administers dosages of mind-altering drugs in exchange for commuted sentences. There are no bars, no cells, or orange jumpsuits. In Spiderhead, incarcerated volunteers are free to be themselves. Until they’re not. At times, they’re a better version. Need to lighten up? There’s a drug for that. At a loss for words? There’s a drug for that, too. But when two subjects, Jeff (Miles Teller) and Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett), form a connection, their path to redemption take a twistier turn, as Abnesti’s experiments start to push the limits of free will altogether.”
Spiderhead arrives on Netflix on November 17th.
