Thor: Love and Thunder set photos confirm return of more Ragnarok characters

In case you needed more proof that Thor: Love and Thunder is basically going to be Ragnarok 2, new set photos have seemingly confirmed that the Marvel Phase 4 movie will include a sequel to one of Ragnarok’s most beloved scenes.

Both Matt Damon and Luke Hemsworth, brother of Chris, have been spotted on set in Australia (via The Daily Mail) – with the pair dressed in their ‘fake’ Loki and Thor costumes respectively. It appears they are set to reprise their role from Ragnarok’s Asgardian stage show retelling key events from the God of Thunder’s life. To add to the pageantry, there are a handful of extras in Asgardian garb, plus a horse. Naturally.

Matt Damon had previously been linked to an appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder, though it’s unknown if other players from the production – such as Sam Neill’s Odin – will also be back for a spot of chewing the scenery.

Fake Thor and Fake Loki aren’t the only characters from Thor movie past making a comeback. Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie is returning, as is Thor’s former flame, Jane Foster – this time as her own version of Thor. Elsewhere, Taika Waititi will rock out as part-time revolutionist, full-time Fortnite trash talker, Korg.

Thor: Love and Thunder has been filming for some time now – and has already tipped its hand when it comes to some surprise crossover appearances. A pair of Guardians of the Galaxy actors have seemingly already filmed their scenes and have departed the Land Down Under. That’s pretty neat, but nothing will beat Matt Damon’s flowing Loki locks.
