Set photos have revealed that Melissa McCarthy is now in the cast of 'Thor: Love and Thunder'.
Melissa McCarthy was spotted alongside her actor husband Ben Falcone shooting scenes for the new 'Thor' movie in Sydney.
She joins Chris Hemsworth, Matt Damon, Sam Neill and more in the movie.
While Hemsworth is back as the God of Thunder, Damon in reprising his role as Fake Loki, and Neill is Fake Odin.
Chris's little brother Luke Hemsworth plays Fake Thor.
What we mean by those "Fake" roles is a callback to 'Thor: Ragnarok'.
In the movie, Loki (disguised as Odin) arranges for a play to be put on which saw the big-name actors depict recent events in Thor and Loki's life.
Here's a reminder.
From the looks of things, they'll be putting on another play in 'Love and Thunder'.
With Melissa McCarthy being spotted alongside the actors wearing Hela's headpiece, we can safely assume she'll be playing Fake Hela.
The actress and Falcone had previously campaigned for roles via Instagram and it seems their wish has been granted.
Also in the 'Thor: Love and Thunder' cast are Jaimie Alexander as Lady Sif, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster and Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher.

'Thor: Love and Thunder' has a release date of May 6, 2022.
