Titan quest ragnarok odin1/8/2023 We have Chris Hemsworth’s older brother Luke Hemsworth ( Westworld) playing Thor, Taika Waititi’s Hunt For The Wilderpeople star Sam Neill as Odin, and none other than an uncredited Matt Damon playing Loki. The best part of this scene - besides the visual of Sir Anthony Hopkins lounging around eating grapes - is the actors themselves, as each one represents a pretty big cameo. As we see, Loki has essentially turned Asgard into one giant ode to himself, commissioning the construction of a statue in his honor and having the kingdom’s theater company act out plays that paint him as a fallen hero. If there’s any scene that proves Thor: Ragnarok doesn’t take itself too seriously, it’s the farcical play being put on for Loki’s (disguised as Odin, of course) amusement upon Thor’s return to Asgard. Waititi credits his time working on Green Lantern with teaching him a lot about how superhero movie productions work and the problems that can often plague them, which is why he went to the trouble of subtly giving that film the nod with this delightful gag. As he explains, being in charge of the Bifrost means that he can travel to any of the nine realms and acquire “loot” to add to his collection. Some of his prized possessions include his assault rifles “Des” and “Troy” and a Shake Weight.Īs Waititi explains to Fandango, the Shake Weight gag is actually a crossover of sorts with Green Lantern, as he actually bought the infomercial gadget while he was working on the film. When Thor returns to Asgard after defeating Surtur, he discovers that the usual operator, Heimdall, is now a fugitive and has been replaced by Skurge (Karl Urban), who is more concerned with impressing a pair of Asgardian ladies than he is with his new job. Taika Waititi had a small role in Green Lantern (2011) as Hal Jordan’s best friend Tom and given how playful the director is with pretty much everything in Thor: Ragnarok, it makes sense that he found a way to reference that movie with a DC Comics “crossover” that is pretty much impossible to notice. Interestingly, there’s also a character in the comics named Simon Walterson who was turned into a frog, but this change ended up being permanent, prompting Simon to adopt the handle Throg, The Frog of Thunder. While we unfortunately don’t get to actually see this play out, it’s probably a callback to the time Loki turned the God of Thunder into a frog during Walter Simonson’s run on the Thor comics. TV series.ĭuring Thor’s opening monologue (yes, it’s technically a monologue since he’s talking to a skeleton), he recounts a number of mishaps that have happened to him over the years, including that he was once turned into a frog. Speaking of Surtur, much buzz has been made about the fact that Ragnarok director Taika Waititi plays the lovable stone monster Korg but did you know that he also plays the sword-wielding fire demon? Waititi did the performance capture for Surtur, though his voice was replaced by veteran voice actor Clancy Brown, whose past comic book-related voice work includes Lex Luthor in Justice League Unlimted and Red Hulk in the Hulk and the Agents of S.MA.S.H. Odin is the only one who survives and returns to Asgard with the power of his fallen brothers. In the comics, Odin and his two brothers travel to Muspelheim in a quest to defeat Surtur and take the source of his power - the Eternal Flame. Thor also makes reference to Odin having killed Surtur million of years prior and this actually ties into the Allfather’s origins. Surtur tells Thor that reuniting his crown with the Eternal Flame kept in Odin’s vault is the key to unlocking his power but in the comics, it’s actually Surtur’s sword that needs to be returned to the flame. While we don’t actually see how Thor ended up in his voluntary imprisonment, Surtur catches him and the audience up on his role in causing Ragnarok. We’re inviting you to the continent of Midgard.The fire demon Surtur and his realm of the same name play a pretty important role in the comics and Thor: Ragnarok finally gives him his due by having the God of Thunder face off against him in the film’s opening sequence. ▶ Thrilling action RPG in hack-n-slash mechanics The current version is Varies with device, released on.
