Matt Damon reportedly in Thor: Love and Thunder

Recently, reports have revealed that Matt Damon will appear in Taika Waititi’s Thor: love and thunder: Reports which have apparently been confirmed by The arrival of Damon in Australia to shoot a “great movie”. We don’t know who Damon might be playing with Love and thunder, but it won’t be his first appearance in the Thor series of films. He had a funny uncredited cameo in Waititi Thor: Ragnarok as an actor playing Loki in a self-expanding play that Loki himself wrote, but with his possible return in the next movie, we have to ask ourselves: was Matt Damon himself playing in Ragnarok? And if so, will he play himself Love and thunder as well as?

Let’s look at the facts:

1. Matt Damon in Ragnarok is an actor, and Matt Damon in real life is also an actor.
2. Matt Damon in Ragnarok looks like Matt Damon and (although he does play) he also speaks like Matt Damon, while Matt Damon in real life also looks and speaks like Matt Damon.
3. Matt Damon in Ragnarok has no name, which means his name could be anything (including, say, Matt Damon).

Now let’s take a look at the arguments against this Matt Damon being the real Matt Damon:

1. Matt Damon in Ragnarok is on Asgard, while the real Matt Damon lives primarily on Earth.
2. The Matt Damon in Ragnarok played Loki, while the actor who plays Loki in real life is Tom Hiddleston.
3. Actors don’t necessarily play themselves when playing unnamed characters, and it’s ridiculous to think otherwise.

Given this information, we can say with certainty that, yes, Matt Damon was playing himself. Thor: Ragnarok. But what about Love and thunder? Well, most of the people on Asgard are dead either from the events of Ragnarok or the rampage of Thanos at the start of Avengers: Infinity War. Also, we don’t know how the real Matt Damon got to Asgard in the first place, so we don’t know if he could have escaped before everyone was killed, but it seems unlikely that one ordinary human without special powers would survive when so many Asgardians didn’t … so we’re going to say that Matt Damon probably isn’t playing Love and thunder because the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Matt Damon is probably dead.
