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.
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 actor Brett Goldstein recently revealed two unlikely ways his character Hercules could potentially beat Chris Hemsworth's Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Previously in last year's Thor: Love and Thunder, Marvel Studios surprised audiences with the introduction of Goldstein's Hercules.
The shame is that he is one of the strongest characters in the entire universe, with many leading authorities considering him to be physically the strongest character Marvel has ever created. While he isn't cosmic, he can survive the vacuum of space and has a resistance to cosmic attacks.

Can Hercules defeat the Hulk?
While the answer is, “Yes,” the history of Hercules' strength in Marvel comícs has been inconsistent. Hercules—when consistently written —can rival both Hulk and Thor. In the recent Maestro series, a future professor Hulk is defeated in battle by Hercules.
At his strongest, Hulk's physical might is unparalleled, but Hercules is capable of some feats that Bruce Banner's better half never can be, partly because he's a god, but partly because he's simply a different kind of story.
The Olympian and the Asgardian are evenly matched in terms of both strength and durability. For comparison, both Thor and Hercules' durability and raw power pale in comparison to the likes of Zeus - a low-key but crucial Thor: Love and Thunder spoiler for any future outings of the Olympians.
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.
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.
Marvel's Hercules has a very similar backstory to his mythological counterpart, complete with a quest for the Golden Fleece, the Twelve Labors, and his death at the hands of Deianira. But being a comic book character, Hercules came back to life not only as an Olympian but also as an Avenger.
"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.
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.
It is the era of live-action adaptations and with Hercules getting the modern treatment, fans are delighted to learn that Danny DeVito will reportedly be reprising his role as Phil. Debuting in 1997, Disney's Hercules told the story of the son of Zeus who had to save Olympus from the clutches of Hades himself.
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.
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.
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.
So while Zeus' best feat is defeating a mountain-sized monster, Odin's best feat is defeating a monster as big as nine worlds. Odin outclasses Zeus in intelligence, versatility, strength, and weapons. Zeus simply can't compete. The winner is Odin, All-Father of the Æsir.
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.
Hercules is very strong but that's pretty much it. While he's a demi-god, he doesn't really have a magic weapon or skill he can use beyond his strength and that's going to cost him against Superman. It's debatable whose stronger, although Superman probably has the advantage, but all Hercules can do is hit hard.
Even at his most powerful World Breaker Hulk version Odin absolutely destroys. Hulk is ridiculously durable and can regenerate most physical damage but is still mortal, he can die.
While Hercules has weapons armed with magic, Hercules is NOWHERE as fast as Superman. As far we could tell, Hercules was about as fast as Quiksilver. Just to put this into perspective, THAT IS NOWHERE NEAR SUPERMAN'S TOP SPEED.
It is true that, during Siege, Sentry rips Hercules' fellow Olympian god, Ares, in half, but that doesn't mean he could do the same with the Prince of Power. In terms of raw strength, Hercules is at least Sentry's equal, as he proved when he easily blocked his punch during the battle.
