Darryl May Appear In Thor: Ragnarok

Captain America: Civil War was one of the summers biggest hits, and while the movie featured nearly all of the Avengers in one form or another, two of their biggest members were noticeably absent.  Thor and Hulk were nowhere to be seen.  That is, until a small featurette/mockumentary was released that showed us what the Norse God of Thunder was doing in his off time.  It even showed Thor and Bruce Banner catching up and having coffee while the others were off fighting each other, but the person that stole the show was Thor's Australian housemate, Darryl.  Darryl played the straight man to Thor's comedy.  He was the Abbott to Thor's Costello.  So when the topic of Darryl came up during an interview with Thor: Ragnarok's director Taika Waititi, this is what he had to say:

“Thor briefly rented a room in a flat in Australia after the Ultron debacle. Just to get some downtime – to get away from The Avengers, to get away from America. So he had a little downtime in Australian. And he met this guy Darryl and they shared a flat together. So that’s Darryl.  I think you probably could see him again. There may be other little pieces of that thing that everyone saw that may just be a small part of a bigger thing.”

Does this mean that we may get to see Darryl make an appearance in the upcoming Thor movie?  Or does this mean that there was something else that we might have missed in the featurette that will have an impact on what takes place in the film?  It might even mean that we could get a follow up to this short with another one that expands on the two roommates.  When Waititi was asked about specifics regarding the film, he politely declined, but instead offered up some things that won't be in the movie.  Here's what he said:

“OK. A thing that will definitely not happen is…oh man, if I say anything, it might hint at something else. I have to really watch my words nowadays. This is a topic I should really avoid. OK, one thing you can get from me, not being in Thor, is any of our vampire characters and werewolf characters from the other Taika and Jemaine universe. You won’t see any of that.”

We still have a long ways to go before Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters, but from the information that has been trickling out regarding the film, the long wait will be worth it.  Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters November 3, 2017.
