Thor: Ragnarok was one of Marvel's funniest movies, which is really saying something when you consider that the studio made Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy. One of the funnier moments in the film was the appearance of Matt Damon, who portrayed Loki in a short scene where the Asgardians paid tribute to the character by making a play about his "death" from Thor: The Dark World.
During an interview with Collider, Damon explained why he did the minor role. Damon says he is good friends with Thor actor Chris Hemsworth and the film's director Taika Waititi. He really liked the scene that they pitched to him, the aforementioned Asgard play, and thought it was a fun, easy scene to do.
"Chris just called me up, and Taika called me up, and I'm friends with those guys. They pitched me the idea and I just thought it was hysterical, the idea of basically an intergalactic community theater actor kind of living out Tom Hiddleston's character's fantasy. I just thought it was just a great, funny bit, and very easy to do. Those guys were a lot of fun, and Taika runs a really fun set. It was a light lift for me."
It was really fun seeing Damon in the movie and it's good to know he had a good time. While it doesn't look like he'll be appearing in another MCU film anytime soon, he at least had a fun cameo that fans will be remembering.
