Thor: Love and Thunder is set to feature an Asgardian play, this time recapping the events of Thor: Ragnarok. This concept worked really well in the previous film & this allows Taika Waititi to deliver some memorable cameos.
Matt Damon, Luke Hemsworth, and Sam Neill have all been enlisted to play Asgardian actors, but what about Hela? Mailonline has confirmed that Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy will be taking on the role of Thor and Loki’s villainous sister.
