Should Hercules appear in Thor?

[Panthro]

I'd have to say save the Thor meets Hercules idea for another movie.

 

[Sasquatch]

Abso-frickin-lutely NO Hercules. That would ruin the movie. Maybe in a sequel but not in the debut.

 

[Sasquatch]

And again I say thee nay.

 

[Artistsean]

Herc could make a cameo in one of the sequels, the same way Gambit made a cameo in Wolverine, and then get his own spin off movie.

 

[kedrell]

^Let's not copy the way that FOX does things, please. I want Marvel to remain respectable as a film studio.

 

[Artistsean]

I'm just saying that if a cameo fits, without changing the characters or their history, then why not use that chance to start a spin off there
especially if they are a character that has a lesser chance of having their own franchise.
Herc and Thor fought in the comic, perhaps a small cameo wouldn't be too out of the question. Then he could end up getting a spin off franchise.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's just too much for the first movie. Unless it's an after-the-credits thing, like Nick Fury in Iron Man.

 

[Changeling]

No. Cuz Thors Norse myth, and Hercules is Greek mythology.

 

[Changeling]

Plus it'd ruin the movie.

 

[Anubis]

No. Cuz Thors Norse myth, and Hercules is Greek mythology.

So?


And yeah, not for the first film. Maybe the second, but I don't really see any reason to do so at all.

 

[Artistsean]

Marvel does Greek + Norse all the time.

It would be too much for the first film indeed, but I could see it being a small part in the second or third.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, Herc and Thor are one of the best buddy teams in comics. Plus, they always have decent fights.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Definitely not for the first movie. A crossover with the Greek gods could be a really cool idea for a Thor sequel, though. Rather than making Herc appear as just a random buddy of Thor's, have Thor and the Asgardians encounter Olympus and make it the basis for the whole movie. That could work.

Absolutely. A Loki/Pluto team-up to bring down both pantheons would be EPIC.

And of course, they would manipulate the obligatory Thor vs Hercules fight.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Naturally. Thor and Herc fight almost every time they see each other, even though they're buddies.

Personally, I'd go for a Hela/Pluto team-up, myself. Or maybe Ulik or the Executioner and Enchantress/Ares. Loki's gonna be the main villain for the first film, so it'd be nice to change it up for the sequels rather than having Loki, Loki, Loki all the time.

 

[Brian Braddock]

A movie Kurse would be great to see.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, although I imagine they'd tone his color scheme down some. Kurse was a really brightly colored unstoppable powerhouse.

 

[Brian Braddock]

It's the unstoppable powerhouse thing that's created such an awe in my mind when it comes to Kurse.

I rememeber reading his profile in the Marvel Directory when I was a kid even before I'd actually read any Kurse stories. The profile just made him sound so badass.

Class 300 strength and able to hand Thor his a$$ on a consistant basis?

Wow.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, he's pretty hardcore. He's got that "gentle giant" archetype working for him, too. I like that.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Agreed on the colour scheme thing too.

I think it's same to say there's one costume that would need major revision should the silver screen come-a-knockin' (the horns are awesome though)

 

[Vaportrail]

There's no reason he can't show up as a character, but I'd say leave the big battles for Thor.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Naturally. Thor and Herc fight almost every time they see each other, even though they're buddies.

Personally, I'd go for a Hela/Pluto team-up, myself. Or maybe Ulik or the Executioner and Enchantress/Ares. Loki's gonna be the main villain for the first film, so it'd be nice to change it up for the sequels rather than having Loki, Loki, Loki all the time.

True.
