For those who may have forgotten, at the beginning of director Taika Waititi's "Thor: Ragnarok," Loki had disguised himself as his adoptive father Odin (Anthony Hopkins), lounging about and ruling Asgard with a ... well, whatever the opposite of an iron fist is. When Thor (Chris Hemsworth) returns to Asgard, a giant Loki statue is the first thing he sees, which tips him off that some nonsense is afoot. He gently pushes through a crowd of Asgardians to find Odin draped over a chaise lounge and dressed in orange robes, eating snacks and watching a play featuring Lady Sif, Loki, Thor, and Odin, in which everyone's overacting and Loki is portrayed as a faultless martyr after faking his death in "The Dark World."
Sam Neill portrays the actor playing Odin in the production, with Chris Hemsworth's brother Luke taking on the role of Thor and Matt Damon playing Loki, who dies in his brother's arms in a spectacularly dramatic scene. After it was reported that Neill, Hemsworth, and Damon were all seen on the set of Waititi's "Thor: Love and Thunder" (via Den of Geek), presumably to reprise their roles, Tom Hiddleston shared his thoughts about Damon's performance as Thor's puckish adoptive brother — and his possible return in the fourth "Thor" movie.
