The Thor: Love and Thunder mid-credits sequence revealed a big-name actor making a surprise appearance as a major character, and now this person has shed new light on the cameo. Spoilers for Thor: Love and Thunder follows below.

Ted Lasso actor Brett Goldstein makes his MCU debut in a Love and Thunder post-credits sequence as Hercules. Zeus (Russell Crowe) is sending his son Hercules to get revenge on Thor (Chris Hemsworth) who attacked Zeus and threw the God of Thunder's own lightning bolt through his chest. In a very quick shot, we see Goldstein as Hercules who replies to his dad, «Yes, father.»

Goldstein told Variety that he didn't even tell his mother that he was in Love and Thunder, though he encouraged his parents to see the film.

«I didn't tell anyone because Marvel put a chip in my neck that said, 'If you talk about this you're dead,'» he joked. «My mom and dad, I sent them a text and said, 'I've just seen Thor.' I knew it's not the kind of film they'd see. I said, 'You should go see it. It's funny.'»

Goldstein's mother texted him throughout the movie with her running commentary, the actor said, replying to his mother that she should just watch the film. In fact, Goldstein's mom was so busy texting her son that she nearly missed his appearance.

«It gets to the end bit, where it shows Russell Crowe… My mom texts me, 'Russell Crowe's in it again, he's very funny.' I go, 'F**king look up at the screen!'» he said.

Whether or not Goldstein's Hercules will appear in a Marvel movie remains to be seen, and Goldstein himself maintains that he has no idea what Marvel has planned for the future.

«I truly, honestly--this isn't me lying or being coy--know nothing,» he said. «All I know is what I did that day and that's it.
