![]() ![]() Russell Crowe may be a bit long in the tooth to start in as Chris Hemsworth's replacement (and Natalie Portman's Jane Foster already seems poised to do that), but Marvel Studios is not shy about adapting characters to fit into their movie plots, meaning Crowe could easily take the role of Thor's confidant Eric Masterson in a slightly different context for Thor: Love and Thunder. Masterson and Thor eventually separated, with Masterson taking up the Asgardian mace known as Thunderstrike, a name he used as a superhero until his death, at which point he passed the power and mace down to his son Kevin. ![]() Eventually, Odin physically bonded Thor and Masterson in order to save Masterson's life, leading Eric Masterson to become Thor's human secret identity for some time. On that job he met Eric Masterson, a fellow construction worker with whom Thor struck up a friendship, inadvertently pulling Eric and his son Kevin into his adventures. But after Blake's 'death,' Thor once again lived on Earth in his own body under an assumed name as a human construction worker. ![]() Throughout his history, Thor has spent time living on Earth as a mortal, as in his original Marvel incarnation where he swapped places with the human Donald Blake. He most recently appeared in Immortal Hulk: We Believe in Bruce Banner (opens in new tab), though his fate in that story leaves some question where he may show up next in comic books. Given Thor: Love and Thunder is adapting aspects of Aaron's Thor, it's very possible Crowe could take the role of Dario Agger, as well as his monstrous Minotaur side. He also happens to be a Minotaur, a literal half-human/half-bull monster of Greek legend, a monstrous secret that is emblematic of Agger's greed and terrible lust for power.Īgger is a core villain of writer Jason Aaron's Thor run, and a key adversary to Jane Foster as Thor. A Grecian billionaire, Agger is the CEO of evil energy corporation Roxxon who is bent on extracting every last possible natural resource from the Earth before destroying it – and doing the same to all the realms of Asgard. Dario Agger is a relatively recent Marvel villain, having debuted in Thor: God of Thunder #19.NOW (opens in new tab) (a spin-off side one-shot of the core Thor title).
