For more on the son of Zeus, then check out our explainer on Hercules' history in the Marvel comic books – there may be a few clues as to where his story is about to lead. But, nothing has been announced yet, so time will tell when (or if) we see Hercules back in the MCU, and whether that will be part of Marvel Phase 4. Considering Thor almost killed Zeus in Love and Thunder – and the task the Greek god has given his son – we can assume Thor and Hercules won't be buddies the next time we see them both, which could make Hercules an antagonist in a potential Thor 5. In Marvel comics, Hercules and Thor are rivals, but they have also teamed up together on multiple occasions. Judging by the text proclaiming 'Thor will return' at the end of the Thor: Love and Thunder credits, we can assume he'll be back sooner rather than later – and most likely in a potential Thor 5, should that sequel happen. It's unclear when we might see Hercules again in the MCU. While there are many other films based on Greek mythology, these are the top 5 we have found that were able to capture all the magic you would expect in ancient mythology.
