Thor: Ragnarok is regarded as one of the funniest films in the MCU, mainly because of the comedy skills of Chris Hemsworth and Taika Waititi, who play Thor and Korg respectively. Weirdly, the two actors played another role in the film. Weirder still, they both portrayed the same guy!

After Korg initiates his revolution, he teams up with several gladiators including a warrior called Hajo. Even though he doesn't have any dialogue, his three-headed body makes him easy to spot. The central head and body is portrayed by Shane Rangi; a stuntman who's worked on other Marvel properties including The Wolverine.

Because of Hajo's chalk-white skin and blue tribal markings, the most observant viewers probably didn't notice Hemsworth and Waititi's likeness was used for the alien's left and right heads.

But that's not all. While speaking to Empire Magazine, Waititi revealed that he played ANOTHER character. Although Clancy Brown provided the voice of Surtur, the Kiwi director performed the motion-capture for the fire demon. Even though Hemsworth and Waititi play an extra three roles in Thor: Ragnarok, the majority of viewers didn't even notice.
