15 Best Comic Book Movie Moments Of 2017

12. Matt Damon's Cameo - Thor: Ragnarok

Thor: Ragnarok was full of outrageous and surprising moments, but perhaps none had quite the uproarious shock value of Matt Damon making a wildly unexpected cameo early on.

When Thor heads home to Asgard, he finds Loki disguised as Odin and enjoying all the pleasures and comfort the King of Asgard should expect.

At the time, "Odin" is watching a play being performed by a number of Asgardian actors, acting out a scene from Thor: The Dark World where Loki appears to die, with his heroism being exaggerated for the sake of boosting Loki's ego, no doubt.

While Thor is portrayed by Chris Hemsworth's real-life brother Luke and Odin is hilariously played by Sam Neill, the big laugh comes when you realise that Loki is being performed by Matt freaking Damon.

Suited up complete with a jet-black wig, Damon looks absolutely ridiculous, again proving just as he did with his famous EuroTrip cameo that he doesn't take himself at all too seriously.

More of these off-kilter cameos in MCU movies, please.
