Thor<\/em>: Love and Thunder<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is currently shooting in Sydney, Australia, and a few set photos have leaked online<\/a>\u00a0via The Daily Mail<\/em>. One of those photos appears to show actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy cast in the role of Hela, who was previously played\u00a0by Cate Blanchett in Director Taika Watiti’s first\u00a0Marvel film, Thor: Ragnarok<\/em>. However, this isn’t exactly a return for the character.<\/p>\n

Early in Thor: Ragnarok\u00a0<\/em>there’s a scene that shows a piece of what can only be described as ‘Asgardian theatre’. The play being put on by Asgardian actors recaps the events of the previous film, Thor: The Dark World<\/em>, when Loki seemingly died\u00a0in\u00a0his brothers arms. The Asgardian actors playing Loki and Thor are also hilariously played by actor Matt Damon<\/a>, and real-life\u00a0brother of Thor actor Chris Hemsworth, Luke Hemsworth. Damon and Hemsworth are confirmed to be reprising their roles as the ‘fake’ Thor and Loki in\u00a0Love and Thunder<\/em>, so\u00a0fans can expect another theatre rendition, likely once again recapping the events of the previous film.<\/p>\n

This is where McCarthy comes in. As the photos show, the Bridesmaids<\/em> star\u00a0appears to be playing the role of Hela in another\u00a0fictional play. In Thor: Ragnarok<\/em> Hela was the main antagonist, Thor’s evil sister who after destroying Thor’s hammer sought to conquer Asgard. So it appears audiences will get another play to recap the events of the previous film, and surely Melissa McCarthy will give a hilarious performance as the Goddess of Death. It should also be noted that in Thor: Ragnarok<\/em>, this ‘recap theater’ appears to have been put on by Thor’s adopted brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston)<\/a>, who at the time was disguised as his father Odin, ruler\u00a0of Asgard.<\/p>\n
