Anyone think Herc should have a cameo in Thor? I think it would be cool.
Hercules
Character » Hercules appears in 1961 issues.
One of six Olympian sons of Zeus, Hercules was born the savior of the Gods and mankind. Known as the Prince of Power, Hercules is one of the strongest beings in existence, an Olympian God and a modern superhero recognized throughout the world for his might. He has been a champion of mankind since ancient times and continues to defend the world in the modern age - most frequently as a member of the Avengers.
Hercules in Thor movie
i would like to see it but i doubt it since got alot of tieing in to do with avengers people and asguardians as it is
I'd love it! They could introduce both Marvel characters to the general public, give us a big screen bout between these two mythological heavyweights and set both characters up for future movie appearances. I won't hold my breath though. Marvel has always made sure Herc plays second fiddle to Thor and I doubt they'll take a chance on one of their big-name, big-gun characters being upstaged in a major motion picture by a character they've never used properly. Still, if done properly, Marvel Studios could introduce both characters and use them in a way that showcases each of their respective personalitites and abilities in comparison and contrast to one and other and give the audience two top-level powerhouses to look and root for in future flicks. The name "Hercules" is definitely one of the most recognizable in western culture and is synonomous with strength and courage, so it wouldn't exactly be hard to show the viewers who he is; most would feel like they already know him! One can always hope! But alas, tis probably not to be.
The only way I could see this happening is some kind of brief cameo at the end or something maybe just a mention. Like some bearded shirtless guy in a skirt is fighting some monster at the end and Thor has to jump in and help. Or if Nick Fury tries recruiting him like he did in Iron Man but mentions that he's got a Greek demi-God on tap if Thor refuses but he'd rather have the God of Thunder.
Why settle with a cameo? Iron man is having Black Widow and War Machine in Iron man II why not have him on a similar role in Thor II or III maybe a team-up against Loki and Ares

" @PrinceIMC said:It's a Jersey thing...."@BiteMe-Fanboy: I'm thinking when Thor says he's Thor someone can at least say: "Oh yeah and I heard about a guy in New Jersey claiming to be Hercules." Maybe some grainy news footage. "Hah! Yeah, that'd be good. Why New Jersey though? "
Hercules entered the MU in Thor annual #1. It's a good dream to see Herc on the silver screen. I'd pay to see it in a New York minute. Yeah, i am rhyming.
@BiteMe-Fanboy: I'm thinking when Thor says he's Thor someone can at least say: "Oh yeah and I heard about a guy in New Jersey claiming to be Hercules." Maybe some grainy news footage.Yes like they spoken about Iron Man and Hulk in Thor without showing them.Or they could show Herc like they did with Hawkeye at least,but I would prefer to see him at the Avengers movie at the side of the other heroes.Herc recent rise in importance could make him have a movie of his own.
