Chris Hemsworth reprises his role as Thor in the first two films, in which he moves in with a new roommate, Darryl Jacobson (Daley Pearson), during the events of Captain America: Civil War (2016).

[1] In September 2016, Waititi said Darryl Jacobson would probably be seen again, adding that there may be "other little pieces of [Team Thor] that may just be a small part of a bigger thing".

"[5] As well, Jeff Goldblum, who portrays the Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok, stated he had shot footage with Waititi for another short,[6] which became Team Darryl.

[9][10] After saving Earth with the Avengers, Thor takes a short break in Australia where he lives with a local office worker, Darryl Jacobson.

Thor is seen visiting a kindergarten classroom, attempting to send emails with Darryl's help to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers concerning their conflict,[a] and revealing his investigative board concerning the connections between the Infinity Stones, the Avengers, Nick Fury, and Thanos.

[15] The mockumentary was said to have been produced by the "New Zealand Film Board",[16] and its title card features a grainy, VHS-style logo of Captain America: Civil War with "Team Thor" "crudely put over it".

Team Thor: Part 2 was released on the home media of Doctor Strange (2016) in February 2017,[17][18] with Hemsworth and Pearson both returning.

[21] Despite being "a silly little short", Ethan Anderton of /Film found Team Thor to be hilarious,[12] as did Germain Lussier at io9, who felt Ragnarok would be amazing if it had "an iota of this humor".

[22] Collider's Tommy Cook and Adam Chitwood also enjoyed the short, with Cook feeling it "perfectly captured Waititi's irreverent sense of humor" and praised Hemsworth's comedic abilities,[16] while Chitwood said there were "a number of really funny touches" and noted Hemsworth and Waititi were a good comedic fit.

[23] Ross A. Lincoln of Deadline Hollywood enjoyed the film and Hemsworth's comedy as well, calling it one of the biggest highlights from Marvel's Comic-Con panel and hoping that it served as a good indication for how Ragnarok would turn out.

[25] In anticipation of Part 2 releasing, Nathalie Caron from Syfy Wire noted by its teaser that it was "using the same brand of humor that made the first... such a massive hit with fans everywhere".
