But now, fans demand that Damon must have a bigger role in Thor: Love and Thunder. The two will join an ensemble of actors including Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Natalie Portman, and practically the entire Guardians of the Galaxy cast.

We have some folks potentially from other pockets of the MCU. And then we have some folks, maybe, that we’ve seen before.”
Thor director Taika Waititi said,
