“I said, ‘For Asgard!’ as I was dying, but apparently that all got ripped out.”įandral’s demise puts the kibosh on the Warriors Three joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s looming Infinity War, not to mention a spinoff that Levi has been dreaming of since taking over the role from Josh Dallas in the second Thor solo adventure, The Dark World. The poor guy goes to his reward without the benefit of a final word or two, although Levi recalls uttering a few lines of dialogue on set. “I was like, ‘If they only need me for a day, I know what’s going to happen!” Sure enough, Fandral met his end swiftly in the Taika Waititi-directed blockbuster, skewered by Thor’s apocalypse-starting sister, Hela (Cate Blanchett). “The filmmakers said, ‘Hey, do you want to come to Australia and play Fandral? We only need you for, like, a day,” the actor tells Yahoo Entertainment with a chuckle. Zachary Levi already knew he was a dead man walking when he showed up on the Thor: Ragnarok set in Australia to reprise his role Fandral, one third of the Thunder God’s trusty comrades, the Warriors Three.
