The “Thor: Love and Thunder”Mid-credits scene continues Marvel tradition of introducing a character that will have major implications in future chapters of the MCU.
Mid-credits: After Gorr has been defeated and Thor has had happy ending, we return home to Omnipotence.
Apparently, the weird sword Gorr controls is one of the only ways to kill a god and Thor’s whole lightning-bolt-through-the-chest routine didn’t do much damage. Zeus is not mortally wounded but is annoyed. His son Hercules is given the task of finding Thor and killing him.
For a split second, we see Hercules.
And who are they playing?
Roy Kent himself, Brett Goldstein. The “Ted Lasso”Star looks chiseled, his abs are gleaming and he has a beautiful beard. He only speaks for 20 seconds and says nothing. But it’s him alright.
How Hercules came to be in “Thor: Love and Thunder”
A recent interview was conducted with Uproxx, Waititi says the idea to cast Goldstein as Hercules was Kevin Feige’s idea.
“Kevin really wanted him to do it, and yeah, Brett’s amazing. He’s great,” Waititi said.
Waititi was also mentioned: “And I don’t know if that’s to do with Thor, or if it’s to do with how that will develop. Because, obviously, Hercules, there’s a character from the books as well. And so, yeah, this will be interesting to see because Kevin, he’s obviously the mastermind of all of these threads and how they’ll tie up and how they meet, mix and match. So I’m curious to find out myself.”
