Sam Neil
He won’t be the only Thor: Ragnarok actor you see on this list. As Odin in Loki’s fanciful dramatization of the family’s relationship, Neil became one of two Jurassic Park actors — along with Jeff Goldblum, who plays The Grandmaster in the film — to appear in Taika Waitti’s first Thor movie.
Matt Damon
Another Thor: Ragnarok choice, Matt Damon played Loki within Loki’s play.
This got kind of meta, since Damon had played a different Loki (a fallen, Christian angel) in Kevin Smith’s Dogma in 1999. Then, the year after Ragnarok, Damon reprised the role of Kevin Smith’s Loki in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. In that scene, seen above, Damon poked fun at the idea that he didn’t look anything like Marvel’s Loki actor, Tom Hiddleston.
Luke Hemsworth
Luke Hemsworth rounds out our Thor: Ragnarok trio. The Hemsworth brother plays Thor, the character played by Chris Hemsworth the rest of the time, in Loki’s play. That whole play was so meta, we have to feel like Garry Shandling himself would approve.
Kate Mara
Remember that US Marshal who showed up to serve Tony Stark with a subpoena in Iron Man 2? Well, that was House of Cards (and later Fantastic Four) actress Kate Mara.
Chris O’Dowd
Another Thor movie, but this time not Ragnarok. Chris O’Dowd, best known for his role in Bridesmaids, appeared in Thor: The Dark World as Richard Madison, who had a crush on Jane Foster but ultimately didn’t get very far with it, since he had to try and compete with a thunder god for her attention.
