The 43-year-old actor, who is one of the new additions to the Thor franchise, is playing the role of Skurge the Executioner in the upcoming film, reported Femalefirst.
"I read a fantastic script that was action-packed and full of great characters. When I heard who was involved - and the cast list dropped yesterday - and (saw) the opportunity to work with Taika Waititi, who I think is one of the most brilliant directors coming through, I made the decision it was something that I wanted to be a part of.
Apart from the "Star Trek" actor, Cate Blanchett Jeff Goldblum and Mark Ruffalo are the new faces to join the cast.
