Cast and characters

Chris Hemsworth as Thor:
An Avenger and Crown Prince of Asgard, based on the Norse mythological god of the same name, who becomes a “lone gunman” in search of the Infinity Stones.[3][5] Hemsworth became “a bit bored” of Thor after portraying the character four times before, and took some risks. Wanted and tested: In the film Thor has short hair, wears a different outfit, his hammer Mjolnir is destroyed,[6] and he loses an eye. Director Taika Waititi added that this “exclusion” of the character allowed him to become a refugee at the end of the film. Waititi wanted to use Hemsworth’s more comedic skills in films such as Vacation (2015) and Ghostbusters (2016), [8] and cited Kurt Russell’s performance in Big Trouble in Little China (1986) as an influence on the character. 9]
Tom Hiddleston as Loki:
Thor’s adopted brother and nemesis, based on the god of the same name. Hiddleston was interested in how Loki’s attitude has changed, saying, “He’s always been a trickster. It’s trying to find new ways for him to be naughty”. As ruler of Asgard since the end of Thor: The Dark World (2013), Hiddleston noted that “Loki devotes most of his efforts to self-glorification. Not so much to good governance.”[13] He also added that “Thor The idea that Loki might be indifferent to him is disturbing to him… It’s an interesting development.”[14]
Cate Blanchett as Hela:
Thor’s older sister and goddess of death, based on the god Hel,[11][15][16] who was inadvertently released from prison after Odin’s death.[17] Screenwriter Eric Pearson inspired executive producer Brad Winderbaum to have Hela be Thor’s sister as one of his ideas. included in the draft. The decision to relate Hela to Thor, as opposed to just Loki as in the comics and Norse mythology, came from the need for more impact with Hela and Thor’s final confrontation. By making the change, Pearson felt that Hela “[represents] the thing that rules Asgard, [Thor’s] family, what he’s been told, what he hasn’t been told.”[18] Blanchett was inspired by Singer. Siouxsie Sioux as well as the “punk-rock iconography” of the 1970s and 1980s, notably Heller’s “unique, unorthodox movement” for Siouxsie’s movement, and how she “commands the space”.[19] Blanchett said it was difficult to portray the character in a motion capture suit rather than a costume. Heller felt that the headdress was “such a huge part” of the character’s power that she loved wearing it on set. Hela’s design was taken from the comic Thor: God of Thunder by Jason Aaron, while that comic’s character Gor, who has the ability to “manifest an infinite number of weapons”, inspired a similar ability for Hela.[21] Blanchett is stuntwoman Zoe Bell and Hemsworth’s personal trainer. Luke worked with Zocchi and studied capoeira for the role.
Idris Elba as Heimdall:
All-seeing, all-hearing Asgardian and former sentry of Bifrost Bridge, based on the deity of the same name, who went into self-imposed exile during Loki’s reign.[11][22][23] After Hela invades Asgard, she hides its vulnerable citizens. helps to keep Describing Heimdall’s character arc in the film, Winderbaum said, “He goes from this elder statesman, gatekeeper to Asgard, to this badass warrior-wizard character who lives in the mountains and kicks a lot of ass throughout the film.”[23 ]
Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster:
An Elder of the Universe[13][24] who rules the planet Saka[8] and enjoys manipulating lesser life-forms.[11][25] Goldblum describes the character as “a hedonist, a pleasure-seeker, a lover of life and taste and smell”. described as He also says that Waititi encouraged Goldblum to “encourage improvisation to [make the character] his own.” Waititi explained that Grandmaster did not have blue skin in the film like the character in the comics, because Goldblum had already played a blue character in Earth Girls Are Easy (1988), and because Waititi did not want to detract from Goldblum’s personality. hiding his face. The Grandmaster is the brother of Benicio del Toro’s Collector from Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), and producer Kevin Feige has expressed interest in seeing the two together in future films.
Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie:
A stern, hard-drinking Asgardian slave trader,[8] based on the mythological entity Brynhildr,[29] who was once a legendary Valkyrie warrior and now works for the Grandmaster under the title “Scrapper 142”. Thompson said that the different versions of the characters from the comics “gave us a lot of leeway” in making the film version. Waititi “wanted to make sure we weren’t creating a female character who was boring and beautiful”[30] and Feige said that Marvel wanted to pair Thor with his equal love interest rather than Jane Foster. The original draft of the film by co-screenwriters Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost had a romantic relationship between Thor and Valkyrie. When Pearson began working on the film, he moved away from that story, instead focusing more on the “mutual respect” between the characters and Valkyrie “dealing with her PTSD. There was a great thing that you don’t see very often. “[18] Thompson stated that the character was bisexual, which he based on the character’s comic book relationship with Annabelle Riggs, and convinced Waititi to shoot a scene of a woman walking out of Valkyrie’s bedroom, which was later cut from the film, because it ” was confused”. From the scene show. Thompson was inspired by Linda Hamilton’s portrayal of Sarah Connor in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and while training for the role,[30] and worked with dialect coach Andrew Jack to create an Asgardian-sounding accent that was distinct enough to sound different. He was away from there for a long time. Thompson will appear in future MCU films.
As Karl Urban scours:
An Asgardian warrior[11][25] who guards the Bifrost Bridge in Heimdall’s absence and chooses to join Hela to survive. Urban shaved his head for the role, and worked to “feel in the zone” even though his body was hidden under a dress. Urban says that Skurge “makes a deal with the devil” and Heller becomes a “cockerel”. He does the dirty work. And something of the sort he has to do—it plays on his conscience.”[22]
Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk:
An avenger and a genius scientist who transforms into a monster when angry or excited after exposure to gamma radiation. In the two years since Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), he has become a successful and popular gladiator in Sakaar[8][36] and suppressed Banner’s side during those years. He is developing the vocabulary of “a child”,[13] the Hulk’s speech level was “a big conversation” between YTT and Marvel as it took into account the character’s future appearances:[37] Ragnarok started a push for Avengers: Infinity War (2018). And the character continues in Avengers: Endgame (2019). Ruffalo felt that the Hulk had “a swing” in the film and was “much more of a character than the Green Rage Machine” seen in the Avengers films. Waititi provided additional motion capture for the Hulk after Ruffalo finished his scenes.
Anthony Hopkins as Odin:
King of Asgard, father of Thor and Hela, and adoptive father of Loki, based on the god of the same name.[11] The character is an exile on Earth, and was originally intended to be a “crazy-looking” hobo on the streets of New York City, but Waititi ultimately felt The character’s death during the sequence made it sad rather than funny. The sequence was changed to take place in Norway to “honor” the character’s past and to be more authentic to his role as King of Asgard. Waititi was amazed by Hopkins’ improvisational abilities when he was told to “have fun and [with the role] destroy what came before and recreate it.”[39]
Additionally, Tadanobu Asano, Ray Stevenson, and Zachary Levi reprized their roles as Hogun, Volstagg, and Fandral, respectively, as members of the Warriors Three. Feige called their appearance a “thrilling ending” that helped establish Hela’s threat and the danger she posed to the main characters. Benedict Cumberbatch reprises his role as Doctor Stephen Strange from the film Doctor Strange (2016) in a brief appearance. Rachel Hawes, who has appeared in several of Waititi’s films, plays Topaz, the Grandmaster’s chief enforcer,[20][44] while Waititi plays Korg, the Kronan gladiator who befriends Thor. Waititi delivered a motion-capture performance for the character, who is made of stone, and wanted to do something different by making the character soft-spoken, as his friend and frequent co-star, Rhys Darby. YTT also provided a motion-capture performance for the fire demon Surat, based on the mythological entity Surat, with Clancy Brown voicing the character. Thor and Hulk co-creator Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance in Soccer as a man who cuts Thor’s hair. One sequence features several cameos in which Asgardian actors perform a play based on the events of The Dark World: Sam Neill, with whom Waititi previously worked in Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016), plays the Odin actor;[51][52 ] played by Luke Hemsworth, Chris’ brother, the Thor actor; Matt Damon played the role of Loki;[52] and Charlotte Nicda also played the role of Sif.
