What to expect from the Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth-starrer movie?

The official overview of the New York Times best-selling author Don Winslow's 2021 book Crime 101 reads, "A string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway has gone unsolved for years, mostly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls Crime 101. The police attribute the thefts to the Colombian cartels. But Detective Lou Lubesnick's gut says it's the work of just one man. Now the lone-wolf jewel thief is looking for that fabled final  score and Lou breaks all the rules of Crime 101."

Crime 101 is scheduled for a 2025 release.

For the very few unversed, Hemsworth and Ruffalo have met each other previously on the big screen as the strongest pair of Avengers, Thor, and Hulk, in multiple Marvel movies. While Chris prepares for his new movie premiere on May 24th, Ruffalo will return to the screen with Parasite director Bong Joon Ho’s latest sci-fi feature, Mickey 17, also starring Robert Pattinson.
