Sam Neill has jumped the Tasman to join fellow Hollywood megastars in Taika Waititi's upcoming Marvel sequel, Thor: Love and Thunder.
But with the mind-bending tricks of director Waititi, nothing is as it seems.
Whereas the movie is about Norse Gods, Neill again stars as an actor who is only portraying one in a stage play set within the movie, just as he did in his well-received cameo in Waititi's 2017 blockbuster Thor: Ragnarok.
In Ragnarok, Neill starred as an actor playing Thor's father, Odin, alongside Matt Damon playing Odin's son Loki, and Luke Hemsworth playing Thor in a play being enjoyed by other characters in the movie. Hemsworth's brother Chris stars as the actual Thor in the film.
