Following the first appearance of Hercules in the MCU in Thor: Love and Thunder, Marvel Studios is reportedly developing a Hercules solo project.
According to a recent Patreon post by Daniel Richtman, a Hercules project is in the early stages of development at Marvel Studios. Brett Goldstein is expected to return as Zeus’s son, Hercules, who last appeared in the mid-credits scene of Thor: Love and Thunder.
There is currently no release date slated for the Hercules movie ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars. We recently reported that Thor 5 is also in development. There are rumors that Hercules will have a “major role” in Thor 5.
Hercules is a powerful superhero in Marvel Comics, based on the Greek demigod and son of Zeus. First appearing in Journey into Mystery Annual #1 in 1965, he was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Hercules has served as a member of teams like the Avengers, the Champions, and the Defenders.
In the mid-credits scene of Thor: Love and Thunder, Zeus, in Omnipotence City, sends his son Hercules to kill Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor as revenge.
Most recently, insider Alex Perez (via The Cosmic Circus) reported that Thor 5 will include Valhalla, the afterlife for fallen warriors. The Thor Corps will appear, featuring different versions of Thor from various universes. Hercules and Ares will also have major roles, either as rivals or allies.
We can expect an announcement soon about the Hercules and Thor 5 movies.
