Thor Love & Thunder Director Taika Waititi Teases Epic Cameos (Comicbook.com)

Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi is teasing fans with the idea that the film will have some epic cameos for them to enjoy.

Thor: Love and Thunder has already revealed on big stunt-casting cameo in the form of Oscar-winner Russell Crowe, who will play Zeus, ruler of the godly realm of Olympus. Matt Damon, Sam Neill, and Luke Hemsworth are expected back as Asgardian actors playing "Loki," "Odin," and "Thor" (respectively), with Melissa McCarthy expected to play "Hela," in the in-universe production of Thor: Ragnarok's story. It has become a precarious balancing act for Marvel Studios to both keep fans wowed with novelty and surprises, while still delivering the necessary ingredients for the formula that Marvel movie fans pay to sse. So, will Thor: Love and Thunder be able to meet fan expectations when it comes to delivering some big cameos?
