Thor 4: First Look at Melissa McCarthy as Hela In Marvel Set Photos

New set photos have revealed that the theater play seen in Thor: Ragnarok will return in Thor: Love and Thunder. Not only that, but Matt Damon, hilarious, is indeed returning just to play the actor who portrayed Loki in the reenactment of Thor: The Dark World.

In late-December, Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone shared a jokey audition tape for Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder. It was very tongue-in-cheek with their "audition" showing Falcone performing a scene from The Tempest and McCarthy giving it her all using Geraldine Page's The Trip to Bountiful. Many fans thought nothing of it and that, at minimum, these two could have cameos in the Thor: Ragnarok sequel.

Well, that assumption seems to have been correct for both of them!

The Daily Mail managed to capture both Melissa McCarthy and her husband, Ben Falcone, on the set of Thor: Love and Thunder with McCarthy dressed up as Cate Blanchett's Hela.

THEATRICAL RECAP OF RAGNAROK

There should no longer be any sort of doubt that Love and Thunder will have a full-on theatrical play reenacting the events of Ragnarok. It really is hilarious that, after all the build-up for Matt Damon returning, it turns out it really was just for another silly cameo as the same actor who played Loki on the stage in Ragnarok.

Melissa McCarthy joining as Hela is equally hilarious, but it's unknown whether Falcone will be playing anyone in particular or if he's just there to support his wife. Similar to the play in Ragnarok, this one will surely poke some fun at that film. It'll be interesting to find out who pushed to have this play this time since it was obvious that Loki was largely responsible for producing the one in the last film.
