10 Awesome Actors Totally Wasted By The MCU
1. Sam Neill - Thor: Ragnarok
The fantastic Sam Neill needs no introduction, having forever cemented himself in the annals of pop-culture with his performance as Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park franchise, while also reiterating his art-house cred more recently with his fantastic turn in Taika Waititi's Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
This acclaimed team-up prompted Waititi to cast Neill in a small role in Thor: Ragnarok, as the Asgardian actor who plays Odin in Loki's (Tom Hiddleston) play.
Neill certainly looks the part as Odin, albeit enough to make everyone wish he had more than a fleeting, throwaway gag role in the movie.
Neill's acting cred speaks for itself, and the fact that his MCU card has ultimately been played on such a minor role is a damn shame - fun though it was.
