Marvel Cinematic Universe: Unfulfilled Teases and Upcoming Characters

Introduction

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a treasure trove of suspense, cliffhangers, and post-credit scenes that keep fans on the edge of their seats. Some of these teases have been masterfully executed, while others have left fans wanting more. However, there are several teases yet to be fulfilled, including several cameos and credit stingers that have promised much but delivered little to date.

Unfulfilled Teases in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

One cannot help but think about Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) expressing his desire to hunt down sorcerers in “Doctor Strange,” or the prison meeting between Adrian Toomes aka Vulture (Michael Keaton) and Mac Gargan aka Scorpion (Michael Mando) in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Not to mention the entire ending of “Eternals,” which teases everything from a gigantic celestial emerging from the ocean to Arishem’s promise to judge Earth and the suggestion of Kit Harington’s Dane Whitman becoming the Black Knight.

Thor: Love and Thunder

Then there’s “Thor: Love and Thunder,” a film that unfortunately did not meet expectations due to poor visual effects. Interestingly, the film’s director, Taika Waititi, himself criticized the movie, despite the challenging conditions that the visual effects team had to endure due to the demands of Waititi and Marvel Studios executives. The film also featured a post-credits scene that remains unresolved, despite the impressive casting of Russell Crowe as Zeus and Brett Goldstein as Hercules.

Loki’s Deleted Scene

Interestingly, MCU’s Hercules almost received another mention in the TV show “Loki.” According to Variety, a deleted scene from the Disney+ series’ second season (which will be included in the upcoming Steelbook Blu-ray release) sees Loki (Tom Hiddleston) recalling various characters who have deemed him a problem to his friend Mobius (Owen Wilson). This list includes Thor’s Warriors Three — Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun, Loki’s biological father, Laufrey, Odin’s father Bor, and Heimdall. Loki also mentions Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, Darcy Lewis, Nick Fury, Maria Hill (RIP), and intriguingly, Donald Blake (Thor’s secret identity on Earth in Marvel’s comic books, which has not been mentioned in the MCU before).

Characters Yet to Debut in the MCU

In the same scene, Loki mentions three individuals who despise him. These characters, yet to make their proper debut in the MCU, include Amora, also known as Enchantress (a mage from Asgard and enemy of Thor), Absorbing Man (also known as the boxer Carl Creel, who Loki poisons in the comics) and Hercules, who is described as “another big guy,” who had issues with Loki. “I was a big problem for him,” Loki tells Mobius.

Conclusion

The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to keep fans guessing with its array of teases, cliffhangers, and post-credit scenes. While some of these teases have yet to be fulfilled, the promise of new characters joining the MCU creates anticipation for future movies and series. Only time will tell how these unfulfilled teases will be addressed and how these new characters will be introduced into the ever-expanding universe of Marvel.
