ComicBook learned late last night that Marvel had cast Clancy Brown as Surtur in Taika Waititi's highly anticipated Thor: Ragnarok.

Waititi himself actually revealed the casting on the red carpet when he was explaining the elaborate process behind bringing the demonic fire giant to life. "I did a little of the mo-cap stuff for Surtur, body wise, but then we have Clancy Brown doing the voice of Surtur." Based on these comments, it sounds like Waititi may have drawn some inspiration from fellow Marvel director James Gunn, who performed the mo-cap for Baby Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Surtur won't be the only character Waititi is standing in for, as he's also bringing to life Korg, a rock giant that Thor befriends on Sakaar. "I'm playing a character from Planet Hulk called Korg... He becomes Thor's mate. It started off as a very small role. It wasn't me, I didn't do it, but the role has gotten bigger now." While not prominently featured in yesterday's trailer, you catch a look at him at the 1:35 mark.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!


In Marvel Studios' "Thor: Ragnarok," Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok - the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization - at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger - the Incredible Hulk!

Sean Gunn did the mo-cap for Rocket though, not James.

@BIGBMH - I've loved Clancy Brown's performances simce I first saw him in the Highlander. His voiceover work is awesome. You're right. He is the best Lex. The cartoon division got what Snyder & Co. didn't. Lex is a genius, but he is also super-vain. He pushes himself to be the highest human specimen... mentally AND physically. He's jealous of Superman's strength and so he also tries to be physically strong. And when that doesn't work, he builds a super suit to try and level the playing field.

If they wanted a skinny, insecure twerp as a villain, they could have just made a new character. No reason to change a perfectly great character.

@Doomsday8888 - I love the DC animated shows and Clancy Brown, but for some reason I never put those two together, even though it's entirely obvious now.

I think I alread saw an article about this. But with the number of articles this weekend and the way the site behaved I'm not even sure about it right now...

Anyways, great news! He's a good choice, and in this case it doesn't really matter that he's joined the club of those with multiple MCU roles.

But who or what does Sam Neill play in Ragnarök?
