Matt Damon, to reprise his role as Fake Loki in Thor: Love and Thunder? 

Matt Damon in a recent interview with Jess Cagle confirmed his return to the MCU as actor Loki in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder. The film will be the fourth instalment in the Thor film saga and the 29th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Damon previously appeared as fake Loki in a hilarious play about the events of Thor: The Dark World, in Thor: Ragnarok. 

Host Jess Cagle asked the actor if his upcoming cameo in the film was "a secret," to which Damon responded with, "I don't know if it's secret or not, though everybody knows." Explaining his comment Damon said:

I went down there [to Australia] to shoot, and I think they sussed out, 'cause paparazzi took pictures of us, so that they sussed out what we were doing. We were kind of reprising a cameo that Luke Hemsworth and I did in the last one. And we had a ball, and so Taika [Waititi] had us back again to kind of run that joke back and upgrade it a little bit
