9 Theories That Answer HUGE MCU Mysteries

Throughout its run of over ten years and over 20 movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced countless characters from the comics. While it is nothing short of incredible just how many there are, and how they've been balanced, there are still some glaring omissions.

The likes of Nova and Beta Ray Bill have yet to be utilised in the MCU, however the latter has actually been teased previously. In Thor: Ragnarok, on the Grandmaster's tower where work is being undertaken to sculpt the Hulk's likeness, there is also a carving of a being that bares a striking resemblance to everyone's favourite Korbinite. So the question is, if Beta Ray Bill exists in the MCU and has spent time on Sakaar, where is he now?

One theorist has an answer, and it's not a good one for fans of the character. Beta Ray Bill is dead at the hands of the Incredible Hulk.

With Hulk's head being carved onto the Grandmaster's totem, it makes sense that these other figures were the ruler's previous Champions. With Champion being used as a singular throughout the entire movie, there is seemingly only one at a time, bringing us to the conclusion that whoever challenges and kills the current Champion becomes the new Champion. With Hulk's head just above Beta Ray Bill's, this suggests that the Korbinite's time as the Grandmaster's favourite came to end thanks to the Hulk.
