In SS Rajamouli’s RRR last year, Ray Stevenson played the film’s main antagonist, Governor Scott Buxton.
On May 21, the well-known Irish actor Ray Stevenson passed away. His spokesperson informed Variety of the development. The 58-year-old actor played Volstagg in multiple Marvel films, including Thor, its sequel Thor: The Dark World, and its third installment Thor: Ragnarok.
Through his unflattering portrayal of Governor Scott Buxton in SS Rajamouli’s historical action film RRR last year, Ray Stevenson became well-known to Indian fans. The lone Indian film in his filmography, starring Ram Charan and Jr. The Best Original Song Oscar went to NTR.
What shocking news for the entire team, according to RRR’s official Twitter account, which posted his screenshot from the movie. Rest in peace, Ray Stevenson (heartbreaking emoji). Sir Scott, you’ll always hold a special place in our hearts. In the comments area, several internet users expressed their sympathy.
Just four days before his 59th birthday, the late actor, George Raymond Stevenson, who was born on May 25, 1964, in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, passed suddenly.

In the 2008 action-thriller movie Punisher: War Zone, which was based on the Marvel Comics, he played the titular role of Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, and rose to fame.
The late actor received praise for his portrayal of Titus Pullo, the series’ protagonist, in the historical drama Rome on HBO. In the seventh season of the Michael C. Hall-starring Showtime crime thriller series Dexter, Ray was best known for playing Ukrainian criminal Isaak Siriko.
The late actor was hospitalised on the island of Ischia while filming his upcoming Frank Ciota movie, Cassino on Ischia, according to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. Peter Soos’ Gateway to the West will be his other posthumous publication. Other information, including the cause of death, is still pending.
