Chris Hemsworth recorded himself grunting for a brief 'Loki' cameo that you probably missed
  • Warning: There are major spoilers ahead for episode five of Marvel's "Loki."
  • The latest episode of the Disney+ series featured a brief voice cameo from Chris Hemsworth.
  • Hemsworth voiced a Thor variant known as Frog Thor, or Throg, from the comics.

Chris Hemsworth had a brief voice cameo on the most recent episode of Marvel's "Loki," and you probably missed it.

The latest episode centered on Loki (played by Tom Hiddleston) getting pruned and waking up in The Void, a wasteland at the end of time where the Time Variance Authority sends branched realities to be devoured by a looming beast known as Alioth.

There, Loki met several other variants of himself including Kid Loki (Jack Veal), Classic Loki (Richard E. Grant), Boastful Loki (DeObia Oparei), and breakout star Alligator Loki.

The Void was filled with plenty of Easter eggs that eagle-eyed fans noticed, like Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, and the Thanos Copter.

Frog Thor, known as Throg in the comics, also had a blink-and-you'll miss it cameo early in the episode as Loki and the variants descended into a hatch.

The camera panned to various abandoned items, like Thor's hammer known as Mjölnir. Nearby, the Thor variant was seen trapped in a jar and grunting while trying to escape captivity. The label on the jar read "T365," which is actually a nod to Frog Thor's comic book debut in "Thor #365."

Director Kate Herron opened up about how she managed to include the Thor actor on episode five of the Disney+ series in a new interview for a podcast called "For All Nerds."

"I was so pleased with all the Easter eggs we managed to get into episode five," Herron said on the podcast, explaining that it was a "collaborative, team effort."

"We recorded Chris Hemsworth for that, by the way," the director said of Hemsworth's voice cameo. "I haven't told anyone that yet, but we recorded him for that."

Eric Martin, a writer and producer on "Loki," also revealed that there were plans to include Frog Thor on the series premiere as Loki watched a playback of highlights from the life that he didn't get to live out because he escaped his timeline during the events of "Avengers: Endgame."

"We actually shot a scene for the Time Theater in Ep 1 of Loki getting pummeled by Frog Thor, but had to cut it to keep things moving. It's too bad, because Tom was funny as hell. #LokiMidnightTheater," Martin said on Twitter.
