Two years ago, we met Darryl, Thor’s roommate and co-star in a pair of short films directed by Taika Waititi that simultaneously showed us the style Thor: Ragnarok was taking and explained why Thor wasn’t in Captain America: Civil War. It seems he’s back.

Disney has announced a new short film extra on the Thor: Ragnarok Blu-ray called “Team Darryl”.

Here’s the description from the press release:

“Fresh off being unseated as the ruler of Sakaar, the Grandmaster makes his way to Earth to start a new life. It’s been over a year since Thor left Australia and Darryl has been struggling to pay his rent. Now Darryl needs a new roommate to help make the monthly payments. Unfortunately for Darryl, the Grandmaster was the only one who answered Darryl’s “Roommate Needed” ad and with no viable options, the Grandmaster moves in.”

Darryl, played by Australian actor Daley Pearson, will be living with the none other than Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster.

Beyond that, the Blu-ray has an impressive list of special features, including lots of additional tongue-in-cheek documentaries, deleted scenes, a director commentary, and more.

Here’s the full list via the press release:
