ahead of time on inThor : Ragnarok(2017 ) , the eponymic Hero of Alexandria ( played by Chris Hemsworth ) return to his home planet , Asgard , and bewitch the end of a rather inaccurate stage production inspire by events from his own life . As a little extra fun for motion picture viewers , directorTaika Waititicast some intimate faces as the role player : Matt Damon as Loki , Luke Hemsworth asThor , and Sam Neill as Odin . Neill , ever the veteran professional , delivers his culminating speech with cool — even when describing Loki as “ a minuscule blue baby icicle that melted this old fool ’s heart”—and the Asgardian crowd respond with enthusiastic applause . All in all , it ’s a somewhat entertaining fake play . ( Well , unless you ’re Thor . )
As for what happened during the relaxation of the motion-picture show , Neill likely could n’t narrate you . In a late interview with Collider , he confessed to not being “ entirely nerdishly [ into ] the Marvel franchise ” and therefore “ completely stupefy by so many things ” inThor : Ragnarok . He last to see the movie with some slightly moreMarvel - savvy ally who were capable to answer his questions , such as “ Do you know what satellite we ’re on at the moment ? ”
“ [ They ] say , ‘ You ’re in the film ! Why do we have to explain it to you ? ’ I said ‘ Because I ’m a bite bewildered . I ’m truly fall back here , ’ ” Neill said with a laugh . “ I should n’t really confess to that . I should really lie with what ’s going on . ”
He might soon have the chance to fill in some gaps of his Marvel knowledge . According toMovieweb , Neill recently mention the possible action that he ’ll make a cameo inThor : Love and Thunder , which is presently filming in Australia . “ I opine the betting odds are reasonably high , ” hetoldEntertainment Tonight . “ I recall Taika ’s pay back something up his arm . ” Neill , who ’s based in New Zealand , did acknowledge that pandemic - related change of location restrictions have made the situation more difficult , but they ’ll “ see if something can be work out . ”Thor : Love and Thunderis slated for theatrical release in May 2022 , so we ’ll just have to hold back and see .
