Boring story now, 'cause we can't say the name." The idea that anyone else was considered before Damon is pure blasphemy, because if there's anyone who should play the fake-brother to the fake-Hemsworth character, it's Damon. He was keen, but then he was doing some other thing, so he couldn't come. You know, it's his mate." He continued, saying, "I know of a couple other movie stars, and I'd asked one of them. In an interview with ET about Damon's cameo, director Waititi explained, "That one is directly from Chris. In short: if Marvel wants to continue stepping up its game, the studio had better find a way to include Liam Hemsworth in the next Thor movie, too.Īs you might have guessed, the scheme to get Damon involved in Thor was formulated by Hemsworth - Chris Hemsworth, that is. Yeah, there's double the Hemsworth power in Ragnarok, so in addition to being one of the funniest Marvel movies ever, it's also one of the most-Hemsworthy. That's probably because of how ridiculous Damon looks with a Loki wig, and how funny it is to see Luke Hemsworth pretend he's his younger brother Chris. The whole meta-commentary fits the entire tone of Thor, except it's way more of a comedy than a tragedy. The parody play reenacts a dramatic scene in which Loki fakes his death so he can be hidden as Odin, which really is quite Shakespearean itself. But once you see Thor: Ragnarok in theaters, it quickly becomes clear that Damon joined the cast and crew at Jimmy Kimmel Live because he was also featured in the movie.
It made for a funny bit because of Kimmel and Damon's longstanding - and hilarious - feud, and it sort of made sense that Damon was there to support his friend Hemsworth. When Chris Hemsworth appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live recently, he was joined by Ragnarok director Taika Waititi, co-star Mark Ruffalo, and Damon.
The play within the movie is reminiscent of an Ancient Greek satyr, or some Shakespearean plot device, but theatrical references aside, it's really just plain funny.Īnd its casting is seriously spot-on. As if that's not great enough, Sam Neill appears as Odin, who Anthony Hopkins plays in the actual movies.
The play summarizes what happened in Thor: The Dark World, but its casting is the most clever part of the scene, as Chris Hemsworth's real-life older brother, Luke, plays Thor, and Matt Damon dons a black wig to play Loki in the play parody. The new movie Thor: Ragnarok is being hailed as one of the most comedic Marvel films to date, and one of its funniest parts is the cast of the Thor parody play, which the titular hero watches while he's on Asgard.
