Matt Damon is apparently ready to return to the MCU via Thor: love and thunder after he made a cameo three years ago in Thor: Ragnarok.
Damon recently landed in Australia, where he is quarantined before filming. It is not clear at this stage whether the actor will be back for a cameo or a bigger role.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed the cast: “Hollywood superstar Matt Damon joining our local talent to shoot such an important film in NSW is a huge victory, creating thousands of jobs for locals,” he said.
The actor is quoted in the local media as saying he would be in Australia “in the coming months”.
“Australian film crews are known worldwide for their professionalism and it is a joy to work with them, so the 14 days of quarantine will be worth it,” he commented.
