On the dimensions of Marvel Cinematic Universe surprises, Thor: Love and Thunder ending with the debut of Hercules — and Hercules being performed by Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein (and Brett Goldstein enjoying Hercules in a reasonably comic-accurate costume that included no shirt, an enormous inexperienced harness, and a goofy yellow visor) — has to rank very extremely.
That was final summer season. Since then, we’ve gotten completely no indication when or the place or even when Hercules would possibly present up once more. The subsequent Thor film would really feel like a reasonably secure guess … if Marvel was making one other Thor film. At this level, they’re not. (At least they haven’t introduced one, which means if one other Thor occurs it might be not less than three years away.)
So the place is Hercules? Marvel teased us with an ideal actor in an ideal function and now … we’re simply ready for any clue the place he would possibly present up once more. If Goldstein himself is to be believed, even he isn’t positive when he would possibly placed on that revealing Hercules outfit once more. In a brand new profile in Variety, Goldstein “claims he has no clue what’s happening [with Marvel],” together with the potential for Herc getting his personal solo movie.

Phase 4 of the MCU had a bunch of very shocking cameos like Goldstein’s which can be taking a really very long time to play out. Charlize Theron debuted within the credit to Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness. Eternals featured the debut of Harry Styles as Eros and Patton Oswalt as Pip the Troll. But then Eternals was an enormous disappointment and it’s began to really feel like these characters may not present up wherever for years. (Maybe we’ll see them once more in Avengers: Secret Wars? But that movie doesn’t come out till May of 2026.)
