Trivia: Chris Hemsworth has blamed himself for this film's negative reception, stating he got carried away with the comedic improv and didn't stick the landing.
Trivia: The "wolf woman" seen in the montage at the start is played by Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky.
Trivia: When the Kronan god Ninny-Nonny is in Omnipotent City, the throne he is sitting on resembles the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones, but with scissors instead of swords, because when playing rock paper scissors, rock beats scissors.
Trivia: When Jane is explaining the Einstein-Rosen Bridge to the other chemotherapy patient, she mentions the films Event Horizon and Interstellar. Sam Neill and Matt Damon, who have cameo appearances as Asgardian stage actors in this film as well as Thor: Ragnarok, were in Event Horizon and Interstellar, respectively.
Trivia: The actors in the play depicting the events of Thor: Ragnarok are Matt Damon (Loki), Luke Hemsworth (Thor) and Sam Neill (Odin), reprising their parts from that film. They're joined this time by Melissa McCarthy playing Hela.
Trivia: A behind the scenes photo showed Chris Hemsworth sporting an extremely muscular build. However, it wasn't for this film that he achieved that physique, but rather for an upcoming Hulk Hogan biopic.
Trivia: Natalie Portman originally exited the MCU due to her being unhappy with the production of "Thor: The Dark World" for various reasons, including the firing of original director Patty Jenkins. After she agreed to do a small voice-over cameo in "Avengers: Endgame" as a favor to the production, she agreed to take a meeting with director Taika Waititi. According to producer Kevin Feige, Waititi quickly won her over and convinced her to return to the MCU by the end of the meeting.
Trivia: With this movie, Thor will become the first MCU hero to have four stand-alone movies. He's also the first Marvel character overall to have four stand-alone movies within the same franchise. The closest before then was when Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 was in pre-production before being canceled and rebooted.
Trivia: Lena Headey reportedly filmed a role and was paid around $7 million for it, but it was ultimately cut from the final film. Peter Dinklage and Jeff Goldblum were also said to have filmed cameos for their previous roles of Eitri and the Grandmaster, respectively, but those were also cut.
Trivia: James Gunn was grateful that this film showed Thor leaving the Guardians of the Galaxy, as he never planned to include him in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Trivia: SPOILERS! There are two credits scenes. In the mid-credits scene, it is revealed that Zeus is still alive (albeit with a nice, big hole through his chest), and he sends his son Hercules to go after Thor. In the post-credits scene, Jane's spirit arrives in Valhalla and is greeted by Heimdall.
Trivia: This film marks the return of Christian Bale to the superhero genre, after previously saying he had no further interest in it after The Dark Knight Rises. He's also the second former Batman to later portray a villain in an MCU film, following Michael Keaton.
Answer: I can't say how authentic Crowe's accent was, but to me it sounded like an Aussie Greek accent. There were some popular Greek comedy characters on Aussie TV in the 80s when Crowe started acting. Some were caricatures, and some exaggerating their own ethnic backgrounds, and they were generally good-natured portrayals. Crowe being a New Zealander who worked in Australia, may have been influenced by them.
