He’s always fun after work to open a bottle of wine with.ĭawson: With your experience in raising sheep, is the health threat posed in Rams something you’re personally aware of or familiar with? I’m very fond of Michael he’s a very good guy. We treat each other with some wry forbearance, and we know what the other is up to. their respective stud farms in 'Rams.' David Dare Parkerĭawson: Having had that history together, did that help you connect as bickering brothers in this? If he does, hopefully Neill won't be as confused with what happens when he gets to see the final product.(L-R) Michael Caton and Sam Neill play bickering brothers who raise prized Dorset Horn sheep at. There's no guarantee that Neill will show up once more, but it sounds like Waititi has an idea to use him again - as long as Neill can safely travel to Australia during a global pandemic. In fact, the fake Odin actor has teased a return for Thor: Love and Thunder. Neill's confusion while watching Thor: Ragnarok shouldn't matter in the long run. It's even likely that he wasn't on set the entire time the theater location was used. Plus, this is the only scene Neill is in, so he definitely didn't have access to Thor: Ragnarok's entire script to understand the full plot. Without knowing that Loki switched places with Odin before, there'd be no way to make sense of what was happening right away.
He admits that he's not entirely engrossed in the MCU, so it's quite likely he never saw Thor: The Dark World. He said as much during an interview with Collider, noting how confused he was about whether the character in the scene was Odin or Loki.Įven though Neill was somewhat involved with the scene that confused him, it is understandable why he was lost. This play was the backdrop of the Loki-Odin reveal, but it turns out that Neill didn't understand what was going on when he finally saw the film. Sam Neill had a small role in Thor: Ragnarok as an Asgardian actor playing Odin in a play version of Thor: The Dark World.

Instead, Waititi tossed aside that mystery almost immediately and had Thor force Loki to reveal his lie, while Odin remained on Earth in exile.

The prior film saw Loki begin posing as Odin so he could rule Asgard, and that mystery was thought to be an element that would be central to what happened next.

One of the prime examples of this came with how the film addressed Loki's end in Thor: The Dark World. While Thor: Ragnarok featured some familiar characters from the franchise and the MCU at large, it brushed off what appeared to be major pieces of set-up for its story.
