Why Hercules
From Thor: Love
And Thunder
Looks So Familiar

THIS STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR "Thor: Love and Thunder"
SPOILER WARNING!
In "Thor: Love and Thunder," Thor kills Zeus, played by Russell Crowe, with a thunderbolt, or so we think. In a post-credit scene, it is revealed Zeus survived the battle and talks with his son, Hercules about eliminating Thor, and moviegoers will most likely recognize the burly actor playing Hercules.
Speculation began on whether we'd be seeing Hercules in "Thor: Love and Thunder,” and there were even rumors the character was edited out of the movie's trailer. Nevertheless, Brett Goldstein makes his MCU debut in the first post-credits scene, to the elation of "Ted Lasso" fans everywhere.
Goldstein plays Roy Kent, the former AFC Richmond captain who now holds the coach position, on the highly popular Apple+ series. With "Ted Lasso" most likely ending after Season 3, Goldstein will have all the time in the world to appear as Hercules in more MCU projects.
