The Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of teases, cliffhangers, and post-credits scenes — some good, some unhealthy. Nevertheless, by this level there’ve been too many teases that stay unfulfilled, together with cameos which have but to be paid off and credit stingers that promised bigs issues but have up to now amounted to nothing. Consider Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) declaring his intention to seek out sorcerers in “Physician Unusual,” Adrian Toomes aka Vulture (Michael Keaton) and Mac Gargan aka Scorpion (Michael Mando) assembly in jail in “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” or principally your complete ending of “Eternals” (all the pieces from the large celestial protruding of the ocean to Arishem promising to guage Earth and the trace at Package Harington’s Dane Whitman changing into the Black Knight).
Then there’s “Thor: Love and Thunder,” a horrible film with unhealthy visible results that director Taika Waititi himself criticized (regardless of the poor working circumstances the movie’s visible results wizards needed to work below due to Waititi and Marvel Studios executives), and a post-credits scene that may seemingly by no means be resolved regardless of the moderately glorious casting of Russell Crowe as Zeus and none apart from Brett Goldstein as Hercules.
It seems, the MCU’s Hercules virtually received one other shout-out in, of all locations, the TV present “Loki.” Per Selection, a deleted scene from the Disney+ sequence’ second season (which might be included in the upcoming Steelbook Blu-ray launch) options Loki (Tom Hiddleston) recalling a few of the many individuals who “stated I used to be an issue” to his pal Mobius (Owen Wilson). Among the many individuals the God of MIschief name-drops are Thor’s Warriors Three — Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun — in addition to Loki’s organic father, Laufrey, Odin’s father Bor, and Heimdall. He additionally mentions Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, Darcy Lewis, Nick Fury, Maria Hill (RIP), and curiously sufficient, Donald Blake (Thor’s secret identification on Earth in Marvel’s comedian books, which hasn’t been talked about within the MCU earlier than).
Then Loki mentions three people who hate him, all of whom are characters which have but to make their correct debut within the MCU. Their ranks embrace Amora aka Enchantress (a mage from Asgard and enemy of Thor), in addition to Absorbing Man (also called the boxer Carl Creel, whom Loki poisons in he comics) and Hercules, “one other large man,” who hated him. “I used to be a giant downside for him,” Loki tells Mobius.
