Granted, he delivers about as hammy a performance as you'll ever see from the veteran actor, but that's what makes it work.ĭamon isn't the only recognizable performer in this scene, though: Odin was played by Sam Neill, who previously worked with director Taika Waititi on the acclaimed film Hunt for the Wilderpeople (although he's better known for his role in 1993's Jurassic Park alongside the Grandmaster himself, Jeff Goldblum). We're treated to a rather poorly acted death scene similar to the one that played out in Thor: The Dark World, only the Loki here isn't played by Tom Hiddleston, but rather by Matt Damon. However, before arriving on Sakaar, Chris Hemsworth's Thor heads to Asgard, only to discover his father, Odin - actually Loki in disguise - watching a play about their battle against the Elves. However, the barber keeps going with perhaps the most diabolical hair-removing device ever seen on screen. Lee doesn't have a lot to say in the scene, but laughs with giddy delight at the prospect of removing Thor's glorious hair, even as the Asgardian threatens and pleads for his mane to be left alone. We'll address Lee's role first, as Thor's 94-year-old co-creator crops up on Sakaar in the film's second act as a devilish barber who cuts off the thunder golden locks before he enters the Grandmaster's arena.

"It’s not a scene that is so important that cameos are going to be distracting.
When it was suggested that having Damon in the film might distract people, Waititi had an excellent answer.

"Brad took me over to the side and showed me the picture in full costume, and I lost my mind." "It was one of those, 'Don’t tell your wife.

The play definitely made its point of saying this was going to be unlike any other MCU film ever, and for that reason, they wanted to keep it a closely guarded secret. It was also to say to the everyone who loves those movies and who has come in expecting a certain thing from this film that this is the moment where it ends, at this play." I would still be setting up characters and setting relationship. "If it were not for those two films, I wouldn’t have been able to be as irreverent and have as much fun as I did with this one. "We were making fun of what happened before but also honoring the groundwork that Thor one and two had done for me," said Waititi. But here's what Damon did to prepare for the first time he became Actor Loki. He's arguably the most important character right now in the MCU, so Damon might have to step up his game when he reprises his role in Thor: Love and Thunder. Now that Loki's premiered, we're used to a new kind of Loki, compared to the one Damon portrayed. Damon played Actor Loki when Loki was still a bit of a side character (even though we didn't think of him that way), but now Damon will have to play Actor Loki following everything the character's done with the TVA. His cameo is made even better because Chris Hemsworth's older brother Luke plays Thor in the play, and Anthony Hopkins (really Loki) is sitting in all his Odin splendor mouthing the words from the comfy couch. That black wig is hilarious, and his fake British accent kills us. He wasn't just playing Loki he was playing Hiddleston playing Loki. At least, you'd think.ĭamon had to go to a certain place to play Tom Hiddleston's beloved MCU character in the play on Asgard. So his cameo in Thor: Ragnarok should have been a no-brainer. He's kind of rivaling Stan Lee as the king of cameos at this point. Matt Damon knows a thing or two about cameos.
