But one of the biggest transformations came in " Thor: Ragnarok," when Matt Damon portrayed Loki in a dramatic reenactment of events from "Thor: The Dark World. Thor: Ragnarok has cameos from Benedict Cumberbatch and Stan Lee alongside its famous cast - but in one special scene, even more well-known actors join the latest Marvel movie, including Chris. Loki has been through quite a transformation over the course of the MCU, evolving from an ambitious power-seeker into a lovable hero with trademark cutting wit. This time around, Hiddleston's character is looking very different out of his flashy green and gold ensemble. (Needless to say, that's not something this version of Loki has ever done for anyone before.) In short, Loki doesn't get very far: the Time Variance Authority apprehends him for messing up the Sacred Timeline, and if he doesn't bend to their demands, he'll face extreme consequences. Following his hilarious, unexpected cameo in 2017's 'Thor: Ragnarok,' the Oscar winner has confirmed that he will once more be appearing as an Asgardian actor playing the God of Mischief in 'Thor: Love and Thunder.' 'I went down there to Australia to shoot,' Damon revealed on SiriusXM's. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe were thrilled to finally be able to see what happened to the Norse god following the events of "Endgame" and the bungled time heist at Stark Tower during events that initially transpired in the first "Avengers" film. Prepare yourself for more of Matt Damon playing Loki. Twitter was going loco for Loki, if you will. Then, at long last, "Loki" debuted on Wednesday, June 9 - and, expectedly, conversation heated up even more. From all-caps tweets professing intense anticipation for the show, which follows the 2012 variant version of Tom Hiddleston's Loki after he swiped the Tesseract and disappeared in "Avengers: Endgame," to fan-edited videos and GIFs celebrating the trickster god and all his mischievousness, the internet was all Loki, all the time across the first eight days of June 2021. It was purely based on his friendship with Hemsworth that he came and did this.Leading up to its premiere on Disney+, Marvel Studios' "Loki" series was all anyone could talk about online. What an awesome thing, for him to come down here for his friend. I just met him for the first time last night. What a testament to, I just met him for the first time, I wasn’t there when he shot this.
We have pictures that maybe we’ll share some day of Tom Hiddleston in a full Loki outfit standing next to Matt Damon in full Loki outfit. He’s flying down.” The next thing I know, Matt Damon is on set in a full Loki costume, full Loki wig. Hemsworth goes, “Well what if I ask my friend Matt?” I said, “Matt who?” He said, “My friend, Matt Damon.” “Okay. So who could be Loki? Who could be Loki? Who could be Loki? We didn’t have any brilliant ideas. There was a fun idea of “Let’s get Luke Hemsworth to play Thor,” Taika had worked with Sam Neill in Hunt for the Wilderpeople. They did a similar thing where they had a stage play with some events from other episodes, not that we were like, “Oh crap.” But then it’s different enough. We then watched whatever was the season before last Game of Thrones. There was this idea to do it in this funny sort of stage play which Loki/Odin had put on to celebrate himself. So that when it was revealed that he was Odin, it would make some semblance of sense to people who weren’t following along from all the films. I don’t remember if it was our writer, Eric Pearson’s or if it was Taika ’s or if it was our executive producer, Brad Winderbaum to bring the audience up to speed on the fact that everybody thinks Loki is dead.
It's possible but it's more likely because Matt Damon and Chris Hemsworth are friends.
