Lena Headey Details Deleted Witch Cameo Cut From Thor: Love and Thunder

The disclosure spotlights Taika Waititi’s practice of cutting cameos, with deleted footage kept off-limits.

Overview

  • Lena Headey said she filmed a cameo as one of three witches who guided Thor through an underworld sequence that was removed from the 2022 film.
  • She named Angus Sampson and Oscar winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph as the other witches in the coven, which she described as funny and a bit chaotic.
  • Headey said the coven was created for the movie rather than drawn from Marvel comics, crediting the idea to director Taika Waititi.
  • The scene never appeared as a deleted extra, aligning with Waititi’s past stance that cut material stays unseen because it did not serve the final film.
  • Coverage notes the film’s box office reached about $760.9 million worldwide despite mixed reviews, and Headey next stars in Ballistic, opening April 17.
