Chris Hemsworth’s Loki Cameo As Frog Thor Revealed By Director

Loki director Kate Herron revealed that Frog Thor in episode 5 was voiced by Thor actor Chris Hemsworth. With Loki nearing the end of its first season run, the stakes are higher than ever. The Disney+ show is the newest series addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It follows an alternate version of the title character after the events of Avengers: Endgame. After joining up with another supposed Loki variant, named Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), they must fight together to survive and uncover the mysteries behind the Time Variance Authority (TVA).

The fifth episode left a lot for audiences to chew on, including multiple other variations of the trickster god. Classic Loki (Richard E. Grant), Kid Loki (Jack Veal), Boastful Loki (DeObia Oparei), and Alligator Loki are among some of the additions to be found in the landscape of those who have been pruned, known as The Void. As the camera pans underground to Kid Loki’s lair, viewers are given a quick Easter Egg of a Thor variant, known as Throg, where he’s an actual frog. He hops around, attempting to get out of the jar that he’s trapped inside of and reach Mjolnir.

The Twitter account @ForAllNerds (via @ViewsFrom616) posted an interview with Herron where she revealed the exciting cameo. They talked about some of the Easter eggs that she was excited to have be a part of the episode. She noted that it was a team effort getting all of them included, such as the Thanos Copter and Throg. She then revealed that Hemsworth himself recorded new audio for the brief moment. See below for Herron’s statement:

“Throg, obviously, getting him in. We recorded Chris Hemsworth for that, by the way. We recorded him for that. His voice going ‘Ahhh!’ That’s a whole new recording. Not recycled. He recorded that.”

More to come…
