Thor: Ragnarok
Thor : Ragnarok ’s phoney Odin thespian Sam Neill says he was genuinely lost while observe Taika Waititi ’s movie for the first time . Chris Hemsworth’sThor is one of the original Avengersin the Marvel Cinematic Universe , but it was n’t long ago his solo franchise appear to be nearing its ending . That all changed when Marvel Studios brought Waititi aboard to directThor : Ragnarok . The dealership plump in a mostly newfangled direction and basically soft rebooted theThorseries .
WhileThor : Ragnarokfeatured some familiar characters from the dealership and the MCU at large , it brush off what appeared to be major piece of exercise set - up for its tale . One of the prime examples of this come in with how the film addressed Loki ’s end inThor : The Dark World . The anterior film saw Loki begin posing as Odin so he could rule Asgard , and that secret was consider to be an ingredient that would be key to what encounter next . rather , Waititi flip by that mystery almost immediately and had Thor force Loki to reveal his lie , whileOdin remain on Earth in exile . This did n’t just storm and confuse the Asgardian population , though .

Sam Neill had a small function inThor : Ragnarokas an Asgardian actor play Odin in a play version ofThor : The Dark World . This child’s play was the background of the Loki - Odin reveal , but it turns out that Neill did n’t understand what was going on when he finally see to it the motion picture . He said as much during an interview withCollider , noting how bemused he was about whether the character reference in the fit was Odin or Loki .
I ’m not really entirely nerdishly [ into ] the Marvel enfranchisement . I was entirely get by so many thing . I move with friends who sort of acknowledge a bit more than me . I was like , ’ Do you know what planet we ’re on at the moment ? Is that Hopkins or was that Loki ? ’ And they were explaining it , they said , ‘ You ’re in the picture show ! Why do we have to explain it to you ? ’ I read , ‘ Because I ’m a act lost . I ’m in truth lost here . ’ I should n’t really profess to that . I should really know what ’s start on . [ Laughs ] It is a foreign - it looks like Tony Hopkins , but it ’s not !
Even though Neill was somewhat involved with the scene that confused him , it is apprehensible why he was lose . He admits that he ’s not entirely engrossed in the MCU , so it ’s quite potential he never sawThor : The Dark World . Without knowing that Loki switched place with Odin before , there ’d be no way to make sense of what was happening right away . Plus , this is the only conniption Neill is in , so he by all odds did n’t have accession toThor : Ragnarok ’s entire hand to realise the full plot of land . It ’s even likely that he was n’t on set the entire time the field location was used .
Neill ’s discombobulation while watchingThor : Ragnarokshouldn’t weigh in the tenacious political campaign . In fact , thefake Odin actor has twit a retort forThor : Love and Thunder . There ’s no guarantee that Neill will show up once more , but it sound like Waititi has an theme to use him again - as long as Neill can safely travel to Australia during a globose pandemic . If he does , hopefully Neill wo n’t be as lost with what happens when he gets to see the final product .
