10 Marvel Characters Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Could Play In The MCU
2. Hercules
One of the many new characters confirmed to be coming to the MCU in Phase Four is Zeus in Thor: Love and Thunder. The all powerful Olympian will be played by Russell Crowe in 2022, but what about his son, Hercules?
The character has been an Avenger in the comics, as well as a West Coast Avenger, and an ally and rival of the God of Thunder throughout the cosmos. Surely, particularly with the upcoming inclusion of his dad in Love and Thunder, his first appearance in the MCU is now a question of when, rather than if.
It goes without saying, as with the rest of the characters on this list, The Rock has the physique to play Hercules, the Greek God himself, and has the presence and the ability to command a scene to place him as a believable rival to either Chris Hemsworth or Jane Foster's Thor, or even the Incredible Hulk.
Of course, the actor has portrayed Hercules before in the 2014 movie of the same name. The MCU iteration would be very different however, and would hopefully receive a better than the average-at-best reception his previous version did.
