THOR: RAGNAROK Adds DAREDEVIL & THE FLASH Veteran Clancy Brown As The Fire Giant Surtur
We saw him, and now we know who's voicing him. According to a new report, veteran actor Clancy Brown has been tasked with bringing the fire giant Surtur to life in Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok. Check it!
ComicBook learned late last night that Marvel had cast Clancy Brown as Surtur in Taika Waititi's highly anticipated Thor: Ragnarok.
Waititi himself actually revealed the casting on the red carpet when he was explaining the elaborate process behind bringing the demonic fire giant to life. "I did a little of the mo-cap stuff for Surtur, body wise, but then we have Clancy Brown doing the voice of Surtur." Based on these comments, it sounds like Waititi may have drawn some inspiration from fellow Marvel director James Gunn, who performed the mo-cap for Baby Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Surtur won't be the only character Waititi is standing in for, as he's also bringing to life Korg, a rock giant that Thor befriends on Sakaar. "I'm playing a character from Planet Hulk called Korg... He becomes Thor's mate. It started off as a very small role. It wasn't me, I didn't do it, but the role has gotten bigger now." While not prominently featured in yesterday's trailer, you catch a look at him at the 1:35 mark.

In Marvel Studios' "Thor: Ragnarok," Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok - the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization - at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger - the Incredible Hulk!
