Comedian Jack Black seems to know classic rock and the Marvel cinematic universe go incredibly well together, particularly inThor: Ragnarok. It’s been that way ever since the first scene inIron Man,which begins with the iconic guitar riff from AC/DC’s “Back in Black,” and continued withGuardians of the Galaxy’sfunky vibes andCaptain Marvel’sode to the 90’s soundtrack.
Throughout the years, Marvel has done a fantastic job unearthing lesser-known songs and introducing classic tunes to newer generations, as is the case forThor: Ragnarok’sepic final battle scene, which features Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.” Perhaps for that reason, there are few people better suited to pay tribute to Marvel’s forays into rock culture than Black himself.

TheSchool of Rockteacher is an internet sensationthanks to his comedic exploits, but recently, Black has been combining his love for music and all things Marvel in a series of incredibly funny videos that might just outdo the MCU’s productions. The latest of these features Black harnessing the power of Mjolnir and contorting his scantily clad body to “Immigrant Song” in a Thor cosplay of dubious quality. The result is a comedic video that’ll get a laugh out of anyone.
Other examples of Black’s recent dabblings into Marvel territory can be found on his Twitter account, where the actor has previously uploaded a similar video playing Tony Stark with Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” playing in the background. For those who are not into rock and prefer their comedians fully clothed, he’s also doneSpider-Manand hip hopwith Marv Allen’s “Out the Frame”.
Though these sketches won’t have Chris Hemsworth fearing for his job or fuel rumors of a new Iron Man being found, maybe they mean Black is hoping to nail down a role inThor: Love and Thunder. With Taika Waititi at the helm andMatt Damon already confirmed to show upin that film, it wouldn’t be the craziest thing in the world for this fat Thor to make an appearance.
Black, whose most recent widely known roles were inJumanji: The Next LevelandThe Croods: A New Age, has been really warming up to video games. He appeared inTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2as “Officer Dick”and inPsychonauts 2, not to mention he even has his own YouTube channel called Jablinski Games, where he hardly plays any games at all.
Thor: Love and Thunderis scheduled to be released in theaters on July 30, 2025.
