The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Hercules actor, Brett Goldstein, addresses potentially fighting Chris Hemsworth's Thor in a future project after his Thor: Love and Thunder cameo. After the Infinity Saga, Marvel Studios is focused on rebuilding the franchise by laying the groundwork for what is to come in its ever-growing universe. That includes continuously developing existing major characters' arcs, which Taika Waititi's Love and Thunder has done with the God of Thunder.
Set on the heels of the fight against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, Love and Thunder sees the hero going on a personal healing journey until he is roped into a new mission fighting Gorr the God Butcher . Luckily, he gets support from Jane Foster's Mighty Thor , who now wields Mjölnir, and Valkyrie . While the villain was defeated, the events of the film created a brand new adversary for God of Thunder in Hercules.

The actor sarcastically cites how he and Hemsworth are physically similar, suggesting that it would be a fair fight. Unfortunately, Goldstein didn't give any specific tease about Hercules' potential match-up with the Avenger, only saying: Goldstein's comments about Hemsworth's physical status are certainly well founded.
Of course, after portraying soccer player Roy Kent in Ted Lasso and Hercules in the MCU, Goldstein is already in top physical shape. However, chances are that he would ramp up his workout sessions leading up to his potential next MCU outing especially if it would see him go up against Hemsworth's Thor. That said, Goldstein doesn't need to be as bulky as the Australian actor to be effective in his role.
Isn't simply saying 'Hercules' a bit of a spoiler?
