Summary. Hercules, played by Brett Goldstein, made a brief debut in the MCU and may have a bigger role in Thor 5 if the film moves forward. Marvel Studios' Director of Visual Development, Andy Park, shared concept art on Instagram, giving fans a detailed look at Hercules in Thor: Love and Thunder.
Hercules will happen in the MCU, but uncertainties regarding Chris Hemsworth's future in Marvel's movies open the door to the possibility that the two won't actually fight. But since Hercules is MCU canon now, it's likely that his role won't depend solely on Hemsworth's tenure as Thor.
The introduction of Hercules in Thor: Love and Thunder's mid-credits scene sets up a potential mission of vengeance against Thor, making him a clear villain for Thor 5 and future development in the MCU.

Who is stronger, Hercules or Hulk?
Writers often take artistic licenses when dealing with Hercules' strength, as Stan Lee himself pointed out at one time. However, it is undeniable that Hercules has bested both Thor and Hulk, proving he is indeed the strongest Avenger.
While Hercules may have the strength to literally destroy Thor's body, Thor can technically do the exact same thing to Hercules. The Olympian and the Asgardian are evenly matched in terms of both strength and durability.
Hercules, however, manages to return to Avengers Mansion and singlehandedly engages the Masters of Evil, being eventually beaten unconscious by Goliath, Mister Hyde, and the Wrecking Crew.
Heracles is assumed to be born around 1286. By contrast the Trojan War, which occured roughly 1 or 2 decades after his death, starts ~1200 B.C.E. This would mean Heracles would at least be in his 60s/70s when he died.
Answer and Explanation: Hercules' weakness was his temper and lack of intelligence. He was notorious for getting himself into trouble because of his temper. His inclination to react instead of think also illustrated his lack of intelligence and judgment.
"Tony Stark's story is far from over," Downey said. "Iron Man 4 will explore new dimensions of the character and his legacy through the eyes of Morgan.
So it seems less and less like the MCU needs any kind of replacement for Hemsworth's Thor, meaning that Hercules is apparently being set up as more of a rival for Thor than a replacement or sidekick. That's similar to how Thor and Hercules met, with Hercules challenging Thor for entry into Olympus.
Even though Thor: Love and Thunder was a mixed bag critically, the film ended with a setup for a potentially massive story for the God of Thunder as Goldstein was introduced as the MCU's Hercules.
In the subsequent years, Hercules and Thor have teamed up on many occasions and their friendship is genuine. And yet Hercules does seem to feel a lingering rivalry with Thor simply because the son of Odin is so beloved in the modern world.
Zeus Panhellenios is the secondary antagonist of the 2022 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Thor: Love and Thunder. He is the Greek God of the Sky and the head of the Council of Godheads in Omnipotence City, and the former idol of Thor Odinson.
Several years later Heracles fell in love with Iole, daughter of Eurytus, king of Oechalia. Deianeira, realizing that Iole was a dangerous rival, sent Heracles a garment smeared with the blood of Nessus. The blood proved to be a powerful poison, and Heracles died.
Answer and Explanation: Hercules is killed through the trickery of a centaur named Nessos. Nessos is the ferryman of the Evenus River. He offers to ferry Hercules' wife, Deianira, across the river.
Hera hates Heracles because he is a living reminder of her husband's infidelity. Because of this she is cruel to him. She could bring about Herakles' death but instead she wants him to suffer. She sends Madness to drive Heracles to murder his wife and progeny.
Hercules is stronger than Savage Hulk and he should in reality be able to knock him out before Hulk can reach thresholds high enough in strength to beat him. Hercules is also a better fighter than Hulk due to his experience having lived as long as he have being the son of Zeus.
Hercules Is A Powerful Demigod But He Couldn't Stand Up To Shazam's Magical Lightning. Hercules is the Olympian son of Zeus and one of Marvel's most powerful demigods. He's a longtime member of the Avengers and has faced some of the biggest threats in the Marvel Universe.
In a fistfight, Hercules. In a fight with weapons, Hercules. In a contest of cunning it's hard to say. Mythological Loki got himself in trouble more than he got himself out of it, and hercules has enough brains to solve several of his labors.
Unlike the Hulk, Hercules could have beaten an Infinity Stones-less Thanos in hand-to-hand combat relatively easily. That said, when it comes to a Thanos powered by all six Infinity Stones, Hercules might not have too much of a chance.
Who would win in an MCU fight: Odin or Thanos? Without the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos stands little chance against Prime Odin. Odin is stated to be able to shatter the Earth.
