Brett Goldstein opened up about his entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the \u201cTed Lasso\u201d FYC event in Los Angeles Monday evening.<\/p>\n
The actor made his franchise debut at the conclusion of Taika Waititi’s \u201cThor: Love and Thunder,\u201d which hit theaters earlier this month. In a post-credits scene featuring Zeus (Russell Crowe) fretting over his defeat at the hands of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the god sends his son, Goldstein’s Hercules, to enact vengeance on his behalf. Viewers are treated to a brief glimpse of a buff, hairy-chested Goldstein, who simply replies to Zeus, \u201cYes, father.\u201d<\/p>\n
More from Variety<\/strong><\/p>\nGoldstein joins a growing list of A-listers who have made their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in recent post-credit scenes. Charlize Theron popped up in May’s \u201cDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness\u201d as a mystical character named Clea, while Harry Styles was the big surprise in \u201cEternals\u201d as the cosmic fighter Starfox.<\/p>\n
On the carpet, Goldstein told Variety’s <\/em>Marc Malkin about sending his parents to see the \u201cThor\u201d sequel without informing them of his cameo in the movie. The two were surprised to see their son in the blockbuster, though there was a stretch of time where Goldstein worried that his mother would miss his brief appearance.<\/p>\n\u201cI didn’t tell anyone because Marvel put a chip in my neck that said ‘If you talk about this you’re dead,’\u201d he joked. \u201cMy mom and dad, I sent them a text and said ‘I’ve just seen \u201cThor.\u201d’ I knew it’s not the kind of film they’d see. I said, ‘You should go see it. It’s funny.’\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom is texting me all the way through the movie giving me a running commentary,\u201d Goldstein continued. \u201cI’m like, ‘Just watch the movie!’ It gets to the end bit, where it shows Russell Crowe\u2026 My mom texts me ‘Russell Crowe’s in it again, he’s very funny.’ I go, ‘Fucking look up at the screen!’\u201d<\/p>\n
Story continues<\/button><\/p>\nAs for his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Goldstein is adamant that he has no idea what’s in store for his Hercules.<\/p>\n
\u201cI truly, honestly \u2014 this isn’t me lying or being coy \u2014 I know nothing,\u201d Goldstein said. \u201cAll I know is what I did that day and that’s it. That could be it. It was a fun three seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goldstein’s \u201cTed Lasso\u201d co-star Hannah Waddingham recalled when Goldstein confided in her regarding the Marvel role.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said to me, ‘I’ve been offered this thing\u2026 Do you guys think I <\/span>should do it?’\u201d Waddingham said. \u201cI went, ‘Are you mental? Are you actually having a little bit of a <\/span>momentum? You’re seriously thinking that you might not play Hercules?’\u2026 Then he didn’t tell me he bloody did it! So everyone was like ‘Brett Goldstein! Brett Goldstein!’ And I was like, ‘You cheeky bastard.’\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nGoldstein also touched on his reaction to the impressive load of Emmy nominations \u201cTed Lasso\u201d scored for its second season. The Apple TV+ series has matched its nomination total from last year, earning 20 nods across all categories, including best supporting actor in a comedy series for Goldstein.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s surreal because it was so surreal last time,\u201d Goldstein said. \u201cMy brain hasn’t gotten used to any of it. It hadn’t gotten used to it in Season 1. I don’t know if we were expecting anything again. It felt so magical the first time. Well, we got back in again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
