Three years after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thor: Love and Thunder introduced Hercules to the big screen, Marvel fans are still wondering when 𝄹the Greek h🍎ero will return to the MCU.

"Hercules is one of my favorite Marvel characters... so I would be really bummed if Hercules never plays a larger r☂ole in✅ the MCU moving forward, but I do think it is a possibility" said one fan on , asking others, "How likely/unlikely is it that Hercules has a role in the MCU moving forward?"

Many think that if Hercules does return, it will probably be in another Thor movie♏. "I need that fight and subsequent team up before Chris fully retires from Thor, plus Hercules gives the character a successor since we don't have Beta Ray Bill," replied one fan, while another added, "I want Thor 5 to be based on Chaos War with Hercules as a co-lead. Completely reverse the tone of L&T and get really dark."

Others think there's space for the demigod to show up in a future Avengers project. "I know he hasn't been in anything sin🌜ce the post-credit scene but he could show his stuff in Secret Wars," said one fan.

The character made his big screen debut right at the end of Thor 4. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thor: ꧒Love and Thunder post-credit🅰s scene shows Russell Crowe's Zeus left reeling after Thor blasted Zeus' own lightning bolt through his chest. Planning his revenge, Zeus says, "They will fear us again when they see Thor Odinson fall from the sky𓆏. Do you understand me, Hercules? Do you understand me, my son?"

Then, out of the shadows, we see Hercules emerge, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:played by T🔯ed Lasso star Bretꦏt Goldstein. "Yes, father," Hercules says. But, unless Marvel is planning on bringing him back for Thor 5, the quick cameo seems to have been for nothing, as this is the last we see of the new Hercul𒅌es.

First introduced to Marvel comics back in the '60s, Hercules started off as a rival to Thor, but soon became an ally to the God of Thunder and later joined the Avengers. The hero is a demigod and one of the most powerful beings on Earth, who possesses superhuman strength, endurance, and immor𝓰tality.

Who knows, with Hercules' link to the Avengers and Chris Hemsworth’s return as Thor in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Doomsday, we might get another Hercules cameo very soon.
