Thor: Ragnarok

Prior to the freeing ofRagnarok , there were rumor thatThe DepartedandGood Will Huntingstar had snuck in a office , and fans were n’t disappointed by Damon ’s drollery timing . In fact , it was the promise of a light - hearted escapade that draw the actor to the part .

talk toCollider , Damon was asked if he had always wanted to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe   or if hisRagnarokappearance   was a branch line of the moment matter :

" Chris just forebode me up , and Taika called me up , and I ’m booster with those guy wire . They pitched me the mind and I just think it was hysterical , the idea of basically an intergalactic community of interests dramatic art actor kind of living out Tom Hiddleston ’s character ’s fantasy . I just think it was just a great , funny fleck , and very well-heeled to do . Those guys were a lot of fun , and Taika run a really fun lot . It was a easy lift for me . "

The vista in question see to it an cloak-and-dagger Loki commission his own telling of theThormovies - with Sam Neill as Odin , Luke Hemsworth as Thor , and Damon as Loki . Damon ’s small part inRagnarokwould ostensibly find him out of spiel any of the big heroes or villain in the future of the MCU . He has been linked to roles in the past and would on the face of it be the perfect addition as a lead office in form 4 or beyond . ( Damon as one of the X - Men anyone ? )

As for playing the trickster god , how did Damon react to stepping into the shoes of Hiddleston ? Apparently , Loki himself savour the scene just as much as the audiences   did :

" Tom was properly there , and Chris was there , and we were all have a unspoiled laugh . "

It was notably a turn away from Damon ’s normally stoical use or play Jason Bourne , and who eff , there is every chance that this Asgardian actor could return in anotherThormovie . That is , if he survived Hela ’s violent disorder of destruction through the kingdom . However , MCU bigwigKevin Feige for certain seems to think he did . The Grandmaster ’s ship ispresumably now heading toward Earth , so here ’s betting an out of work Norse thespian chance himself among the bunch of ragtag survivors and popping up inThor 4 / Ragnarok 2 .

Waititi had promiseda sport - filled installment to theThorsagaafter the comparatively darkerThor : The Dark World , and he certainly fork over on that front . Alongside other glorious comedy performances from stars like Jeff Goldblum and the nominal Chris Hemsworth , Ragnarokset the common law for how Marvel movies should be made move forward . You ca n’t blame Damon for being gallant of a movie as well - loved asThor : Ragnarokalready is .
