Thor: Ragnarok
Rumors are intimate that Hercules will be the principal character of Marvel’sEternalsmovie , but after Thor ’s character transmutation inThor : Ragnarok , there may not be room for both Thor and Hercules in the MCU . supply Hercules to the movie would be a major deviation from the seed material , since his comic Scripture counterpart is n’t actually an Eternal . Instead , Hercules is an Olympian immortal . A potential problem with the Prince of Power joining the MCU is that in a way , Thor : Ragnarokhas already give the MCU a type like Hercules .
Last April , it was confirmed thatMarvel Studios was officially developing anEternalsmovie . direct by Chloe Zhao , The Eternalsis carry to feature one of the Marvel Universe ’s oldest races . The Eternals are a species of immortals who have shared the Earth with humans for billion of years . Casting breakdownshave revealed that the moving picture will include several Eternals from the comics , such as Ikaris , Sersi , Starfox , the Forgotten One , and more .

Last November , it was cover that Marvel is looking tocast a male actor for the role of a " Greek God"inThe Eternals . Based on that description Hercules , seems like the most coherent fit .
Marvel ’s Hercules is a unique take on the Greek demigod . The Hellenic Avenger and longtime contender of Thor is n’t just known for his escapade with the Avengers and the God of Thunder ; he has headlined his own comic book serial publication on multiple occasions . Hercules is one of the few central member of Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes whohasn’t been introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe . However , though Hercules certainly merit a place in the MCU , his presence may no longer be necessary , thanks toThor : Ragnarok .
Despite the fact that the comic book interpretation of Thor and Hercules are immensely hefty immortals , the two could n’t be more unlike when it comes to their personalities . Hercules is a lazy , punishing - drinking , fun - lie with philanderer who approaches his risky venture with a laid - back mental attitude and a signified of a humor . Thor is a majestic and noble warrior who takes his duties as the son of Odin and an Avenger more earnestly than Hercules , who enjoys a expert fight and savor in the glory of his victories . So while there ’s a light preeminence between Hercules and Thor in the comics , the same ca n’t be said for Hercules and the MCU ’s Thor – at least not since the role ’s third solo moving-picture show .
Thor : Ragnarokrejuvenated the franchiseby infusing the film with a much more humourous quality than what was seen in the first two movies . This modification was also evident in the eccentric , particularly Thor , who read a different side of himself by snap jape and creating a great deal of drollery fill-in with his interactions with Loki , Hulk , and Valkyrie . He was no longer the serious , hatch warrior from the previousThorandAvengersmovies . Interestingly , manager Taika Waititi ’s take on Thor reminded many funny rule book fans of Hercules . Based on the comic , it does seem potential that a moving picture with Hercules as the main character would terminate up being tonally standardised toRagnarok .
Thor : Ragnarokblurs the personal credit line between Thor and Hercules in a big way by taking aside the thing that separate them . At this gunpoint , if Marvel introduces a comic script precise Hercules to the MCU , it ’s hard to say if he ’ll be as unique as his comic Quran counterpart .
