GOT’s Cersei Actress Faces Legal Charges For Thor 4 Cameo

Lena Headey’s agent is suing her for $1.5 million after the former Game Of Thrones actress’ cameo in Thor: Love And Thunder was cut.

This is not the first time the MCU has hired big names for roles in their film to give its popularity a boost. Angelina Jolie’s Thena in Eternals, Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger, Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight in Moon Knight, and Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok were all great additions to their productions.

The MCU has even nailed cameos in their films, the most recent being Russell Crowe’s Zeus in Thor: Love and Thunder and Charlize Theron’s Clea in Doctor Strange.

And names from the Game Of Thrones series have cropped up in MCU films before, with Kit Harrington in Eternals, Peter Dinklage in Avengers: Infinity War, and Emilia Clarke soon making her debut in the upcoming show Secret Invasion.

Taika Watiti has already made a big swoop by bagging Batman actor Christian Bale, returning Natalie Portman, and adding the Guardians Of The Galaxy’s main cast to his upcoming movie for his magnificent masterpiece.

But following the news of Lena Headey facing legal charges, the disclosure about her cameo in Thor: Love And Thunder has given hope to fans to expect even more from the fourth installment in the Thor film series.

Lena Headey is being sued on the charge of unpaid commission charges for the cameo she filmed for the fourth Thor film by her former UK agency Troika. 

According to Variety, Thor: Love and Thunder is one of the several projects for which she has not compensated her agency. Her cameo, for which Taika Watiti had approached her personally, has been cut, as confirmed by Variety.

But her cameo is not the only one that didn’t make the final cut. Christian Bale has shared that he had shot scenes with both Peter Dinklage’s Eitri and Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster, but didn’t make it in the film.

The question of who Lena Headey played in the upcoming MCU film remains a secret, teasing MCU fans of a possible new entrant in MCU’s Phase Four. Who knows, now that her cameo is public information, despite not making it in the film, there might be information coming up about the possible new character and if she plays a big part in Phase Four.

About Thor: Love and Thunder

Thor: Love and Thunder is a MCU movie and the fourth installation in the Thor series. It is directed by Ragnarok’s director, Taika Waititi, and will show Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman reprising their roles as Thor Odinson and Dr. Jane Foster.

The movie will be based on The Mighty Thor comics in which Thor Odinson loses the ability to lift Mjolnir, and Jane Foster takes on the role of Mighty Thor. After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Thor teams up with The Guardians of the Galaxy for a short time, leaving Valkyrie as the ruler of New Asgard. But Thor returns to team up with Korg, Valkyrie and Jane’s Mighty Thor to take down Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) – before he takes out all the gods in existence.

Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson return for Watiti’s second go, while Russell Crowe and Natalie Portaman join Taika’s project for the first time. The movie is out on July 8, 2022.
