Mythology offers some of the most enduring and rich stories when it comes to epic storytelling. And at the top of the pantheon of mythical figures sits Zeus, the king of the gods in Greek mythology. Throughout Hollywood history, many stars have tried their hands at playing this powerful deity, with varying degrees of success.
Having said that, it makes sense that we should honor the actors who gorgeously portrayed Zeus on screen. Since he is the undisputed leader of Mount Olympus, it is about time he had his own list. Those who have portrayed Zeus on screen have done so with a certain stoicism that is more in line with ancient Greek depictions.

‘What If…?’ brought a new flavor to the MCU. Despite mixed reactions to its first season, its success led to more seasons and an expansion of the multiverse.
Season 2 unfolded unconventionally over nine days, with each episode serving as a holiday treat for fans. Even before its release, Season 3 was confirmed, rumored to be the show’s final installment, possibly airing in 2024. Brad Winderbaum hinted at the inclusion of boundary-pushing characters and deeper exploration of the multiverse.
Rumors have long hinted at Storm’s appearance in ‘What If…?’ Season 3, though some speculate she may debut in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ Regardless, according to leaks, Storm will wield the iconic Marvel weapon, Mjolnir, in the show.

‘What If…?’ was a breath of fresh air in the MCU; despite the first season of the show receiving a somewhat mixed reception from fans, it was successful enough to warrant additional seasons and expand the multiverse.
Season 2 was released in a somewhat unconventional manner over the course of nine days; a single episode was released, like a gift for fans to unwrap over the holiday season. Long before Season 2 was even released, we knew that Season 3 was in development. However, it’s important to note that Season 3 is rumored to be the show’s last, and according to some reports, it might even be released in 2024. Brad Winderbaum recently discussed the potential characters that might appear in the third season, he claims that they have started pushing the boundaries a little bit more and that they’ve started playing around with the concept of Multiverse a bit more.

Get ready to dive into realms unknown with the Norse god of Thunder through the lens of the film Thor: Love & Thunder. With a soft blend of all-out silliness and heartfelt moments, the Marvel movie offered a rich array of characters. At the top of that list is someone who didn’t get that much screen time but was central to the plot — Gorr’s daughter, Love. Played by India Rose Hemsworth, Gorr’s daughter was pretty much the driving force behind the narrative. Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) was a villain borne of pain, tragedy, and betrayal.
