Russell Crowe will apparently be allowed to play a divine role in “Thor: Love and Thunder” – that of Olympian boss Zeus.

In the fourth part of the “Thor” film series, there is apparently an action-packed clash between Nordic and Greek mythology. Actor Russell Crowe (57) is said to be partly responsible for this. After it was previously announced that the Oscar winner will have a small role in “Thor: Love and Thunder”, it is now clear who he will be playing – the god king of Olympus, Zeus himself!

Crowe did on the Australian radio show “Joy Breakfast with the Murphys” Almost casually mentioned at the end of a telephone interview: “I’m getting on my bike now, going to the Disney Fox Studios (…) and around 9:15 am I’ll be with Zeus.” Because of the Corona regulations in the USA, many Hollywood productions are currently being shot in Crowe’s Australian homeland, including “Thor: Love and Thunder”.

In the comic template, the meeting of the Olympians with those from Asgard is not uncommon. The immortal Zeus is one of the most powerful characters in comics, he even defeated the Hulk in one of the editions. Crowe should make a more than imposing figure in “Love and Thunder” when he meets Chris Hemsworth’s (37) Thor. In addition to the two, Natalie Portman (39) can also be seen as Jane Foster, and in Taika Waititis (45) flick character mime Christian Bale (47) plays the villain. Filming in Australia will continue for a while, the cinema release is currently planned for May 2022.
