The Thor movies are famous for their inside jokes. In Ragnarok and Love and Thunder , an Asgardian theater troupe performs plays summarizing past movie events. as Actor Loki Luke Hemsworth (Chris's older brother) as Actor Thor Sam Neill as Actor Odin Melissa McCarthy as Actor Hela ( Love and Thunder only)

The main cast of the Thor movies includes:

A hard-drinking, legendary Asgardian warrior living in exile on Sakaar. She eventually becomes the King of New Asgard.

Her comic relief came courtesy of Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, her sharp-tongued intern, and Stellan Skarsgård as Professor Erik Selvig, the bemused mentor. Dennings improvised many of her lines (“Oh my God, he’s huge!” upon seeing Thor shirtless), adding a modern, witty layer to the cosmic drama. Skarsgård, another heavyweight of European cinema, played Selvig as a man whose scientific mind is slowly unraveling by the proof of gods.

The foundational star of the franchise. Hemsworth transformed from a relatively unknown Australian actor into a global superstar. He expertly transitioned Thor from an arrogant warrior in 2011 to a comedic, grief-stricken, and ultimately enlightened hero by 2022.

Jane Foster’s witty, pop-culture-savvy tech assistant.

To ground the Asgardian drama, Marvel turned to the Royal Shakespeare Company. For the role of Odin, the “All-Father,” they cast the legendary Sir Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins, initially hesitant about “another superhero movie” after playing a villain in The Mask of Zorro , was won over by director Kenneth Branagh’s vision. He brought a weary, tragic gravitas to Odin, delivering the banishment speech with a broken heart beneath the golden eye-patch.

The ruthless leader of the Dark Elves seeking to plunge the universe into darkness.
