ZEUS - Russell Crowe

[Drizzle]

Traveling to Olympus by the looks of it.

Gorr about to go Kratos on that whole situation.

Gorr when he arrives on Olympus:

 

[Fosterson]

It probably wobbles like that because this will be a jokey shot introducing chubby lecherous zeus, knowing taika

Get ready for Zeus hitting on Jane and getting promptly shut down.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I hope we get a Zeus POP.

 

[Iceman]

Is Zeus likely to get much screen time/survive?

He won't survive.

So I see he did not bother working out for this lol

Does Zeus really strike you as the "working out" kind of god, as opposed to the "endless debauchery" kind of god? I mean, there's a reason Dionysus is one of his ( many many many because horniness ) kids.

Those top shots would look great with Avatar style 3D.

So excited to see all the gods in this film, I hope we get to see some gods from other planets as well.

It'd definitely be cool to see some of the Egyptian gods from MK (in their true forms, as opposed to their to avatars).

And the fact that Falligar the Behemoth is in it (dead, unfortunately), suggests that "alien" gods will be in it too.

Yeah, that would be awesome.

So in the comics, is Zeus the same level as Odin?

As a Skyfather and leader of his own pantheon of Gods, he should in theory be more or less on par with Odin. In the comics I think that Odin is a bit more powerful but Zeus is formidable in his own right.

For perspective Zeus once completely destroyed the Hulk in a very similar manner to how Thanos manhandled him in IW.

Nah it was way worse than what Thanos did to him.

 

[metaphysician]

Zeus is certainly a Skyfather, but aside from "Less powerful than Odin" I think its kind of vague exactly how powerful Zeus is. I mean, he seems fairly buff by that standard, but a lot of that is probably "I have more appearances than the vast majority of gods in my power tier" ( a *lot* of titular Skyfathers have no feats at all and barely any appearances ).

 

[samsnee]

It always raises the question is where were these powerful beings when Thanos snapped his fingers?

I mean, just because you are a god doesn't mean you are omniscient. So, any powerful god that isn't active on the material plane, and/or doesn't pay particular attention to Earth or one of a small number of places, won't even know that there is any risk until it happens ( barring actual precog ). And even those who notice, might or might not care, or be willing to take the risk of moving against Thanos, or be able to get to the relevant portions of the universe quickly enough to matter. I mean, there is a relatively narrow margin of time between "Thanos starts to collect the Infinity Stones successfully" and "Snap".

There's also the complicating factor of "Odin's death and the fall of Asgard", which probably blew up a *lot* of universal political and balance of power assumptions, and also that not everyone seems to know what the Infinity Stones even *are*. If you don't know they exist, or don't know they can be used together for greater effect, or don't know that Thanos has developed a way to use them safely without just blowing himself up instead. . .

I hope we get a Hot Toys Zeus.

Waititi is even more secretive about Russell Crowe's role as the god Zeus, but teases that Crowe plays the role in "a way you've never seen Russell before."

"I consider Russell a friend, and I forget that there are some friends I have who are really incredible at what they do," Waititi says with a laugh. "When I was on set with Russell, I was like, 'Oh ****, that's right! You're Russell Crowe! You're a really amazing actor!'"

[GothamCity]

Great actor, will be interesting how he will act in this.

Midlife crisis? You mean the movie where the Warriors Three are killed, Odin dies, and Asgard is destroyed in the same film wasn't enough of a crisis for Thor?

 

[Bren]

That was clearly his Asgardian 'pre-midlife crisis' prep crisis.

Do you even Asgardian, bro?

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I appreciate that this movie seems to want to continue to move Thor's character forward. All the **** he's gone through in the past few movies, it makes sense that his character would be at a crossroads with his path.
