18 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies

7. Sam Neill - Thor: Ragnarok

The Role: The nature of Neill's role currently remains undisclosed.

Why It's Unexpected: Because how often do you see Sam Neill in big-budget Hollywood tentpoles these days, especially ones also starring his Jurassic Park co-star, Jeff Goldblum?

Will It Work?: One suspects director Taika Waititi (who directed Neill in last year's fantastic Hunt for the Wilderpeople) may have cast Neill intentionally to make some sort of Jurassic Park reference, especially as Neill's role is being kept fiercely under wraps.

Either way, considering the talent of all involved with this film, it's an easy yes.
