Thor 4: Russell Crowe Reportedly Cast In Chris Hemsworth-Led Marvel Sequel

It's no secret that Thor: Love and Thunder is one of the hotly anticipated MCU projects in the franchise's Phase 4 slate. Directed by Taika Waititi, the film will see the return of Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder as he will be reunited once again with Natalie Portman's Jane Foster. This time around, Jane will not be the usual damsel in distress in the film. Instead, the famous astrophysicist will pick up Mjolnir to become the Mighty Thor.  

Aside from Jane's heroic transformation, plot details of Love and Thunder are still being kept under wraps, but it's all but confirmed that the film will have a surprisingly stacked cast. Alongside Hemsworth and Portman, several MCU veterans will join the narrative such as multiple members of the Guardians of the Galaxy like Chris Pratt and Dave Batista, Jaimie Alexander's Sif, and the Queen of New Asgard, Valkyrie. 

The MCU mainstays aren't the only ones included in Thor's next adventure. In previous months, numerous cast members have either been rumored or reported to appear in Love and Thunder, with A-listers like Melissa McCarthy and Matt Damon being included to portray Asgardian play actors. 

This is on top of Jeff Goldblum's potential return as Grandmaster from Thor: Ragnarok. Despite the massive list of cast members, it looks like another top actor will join the MCU film. 

WELCOME TO THE MCU, RUSSELL CROWE! 

Deadline shared in a report that Russell Crowe has joined the cast of Chris Hemsworth's Thor: Love and Thunder in an unknown role.

The outlet revealed that the hope was to surprise fans with Crowe's cameo during the film's release. However, Deadline confirmed the actor's involvement following recent photos of Crowe hanging out with the cast in Sydney, Australia. 

In a separate report, The Hollywood Reporter bared that Crowe will only have a “small role” in the film.
