Zachary Levi was hoping for a Warriors Three trilogy in the MCU with Chris Hemsworth’sThor . The doer played Fandral - one of the members of the 3 of elite Asgardian warriors who all meet their tragical end in Taika Waititi’sThor : Ragnarok .

Fandral is one of the few characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe played by two histrion . While Levi was originally engage to depict the reference in Kenneth Branagh’sThor , he had to pull out after yield posed some programing conflicts with his television set series , Chuck . Josh Dallas stop up play the purpose in the 2011 film . Ironically , by the timeThor : The Dark Worldwas about to begin principal photography , Dallas was the one unable to extend because of his work with ABC’sOnce Upon A clip , paving the way for Levi ’s return . Unfortunately , his stint as the Asgardian warrior did n’t last that long with all three members of the Warriors Three dying at the hand of Hela ( Cate Blanchett ) inRagnarok .

Now that Levi has officially moved on from his time in the MCU and transition into the DCEU playing the titulary hero in David F. Sandberg’sShazam ! , the actor is opening up about his time with Marvel , including his dreaming of a trilogy with the Warriors Three and Thor . Speaking withEmpireas part of the vent ’s feature on the upcoming DC cinema , Levi admits that the said trio were n’t used to their full potency .

“ I just do n’t think those characters were quite utilised to the good of their abilities . Thor and the warrior Three could have been a really coolheaded picayune trilogy of squad film , and we did n’t really have that much impact . Particularly not in Ragnarok – I stand for , I did n’t even have a line . ”

While the Warriors Three was grossly underutilized as a squad ,   Levi ’s Fandral had the most underwhelming death out of the triple . All of them had really bad demise inRagnarok , but compare to how Volstagg and Hogun run short out , Fandral ’s death take place off - screen , with the thespian partake thathis part was go out on the redaction room trading floor . consider that the guys were supposed to be Thor ’s best buds ,   their demise was scarce acknowledge in the film . That said , considering that the God of Thunder has gone through quite a roller coaster of events - from the time Odin passed away to his failed attempt to toss off Thanos inAvengers : Infinity War- Thor did n’t really have the time to mourn everything he ’s lost separately .

honestly , there ’s a lot of miss opportunities in theThorfranchise . Aside from the warrior Three , it alsowasted Heimdall and Idris Elba . see that the character had one of the most alone king sets in the MCU , they could ’ve better used him in other ways .   With supporting MCU characters get their own goggle box series in Disney Plus includingLoki ( Tom Hiddleston),Ragnarokmay not be the last time fans will see Heimdall and warrior Three . However , with Levi now playing a DC hero , if the team ever appear again in the belittled sieve , it ’s probable that the actor wo n’t be portray the part .
