Joe Manganiello Recalls Almost Being Cast in a Thor Sequel

Joe Manganiello recently revealed that he was almost in one of Taika Waititi’s Thor movies.Speaking with ComicBook.com, the actor — who played Flash Thompson in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy — shared that Waititi “years ago … wanted me for one of the Thor movies and I couldn’t do it … It was impossible for me scheduling-wise to do it at the end of the day. But that would have been my reappearance back into the Marvel Universe. But I couldn’t do it.” While Manganiello didn’t share which Thor movie or role he was up for, it is likely that he was up for a role, possibly Skurge, in 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok since he mentions that it was “years ago” as opposed to “a couple of years ago,” which is when Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) came out.Besides his role as Flash in Spider-Man, Manganiello is known among comic book fans for playing Deathstroke in the DC Extended Universe, appearing briefly in Justice League (2017) and Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021). He was expected to reprise the role in Ben Affleck’s Batman movie, which was eventually reworked into Matt Reeves’ The Batman following Affleck’s departure from the project in 2017. While DC Studios head James Gunn has remained coy in the past about whether there were plans for Deathstroke to appear in the DC Universe, it seems unlikely that Manganiello will be brought back given that most DCEU roles are being recast for the new universe.
