Idea for how to do a Hercules movie (spoilers)
Now I'm fairly certain they're never gonna reference love and thunder again, but after seeing predator badlands twice, I think it'd be a pretty good source of inspiration for if they were to continue that storyline not in thor 5, but in a spin-off following hercules
Now for those who haven't seen badlands, spoilers ahead, the film follows a predator named dek on his first hunt, his prey of choice being the kalysk, the apex predator of the planet genna, however during the film he gains a connection with it, which eventually compels him to go free it once its been captured by the weyland yutani corporation.
A plot similar to this, with hercules and thor in the place of dek and the kalisk could be the perfect way to pay off the post credit scene from LaT in a way that doesn't force the next thor related project to do so if the director has their own idea.
Now of course thor would have a larger roll and more screen time than the kalisk did, however almost every time he's appeared he's been in some shape or form the under dog, of course this is due to the fact he's often the protagonist of those projects and the protagonist needs to face an uphill battle, but having the film be from hercules' perspective gives us a chance to see thor as he should be, a fierce warrior and a powerful god that hercules can barely keep up with, imagine him moving like his marvel zombie variant during a fight with the olympian, but then sparing him when he has the chance to kill him, which could set hercules on the path to becoming a hero.
I could also see Ares being the main antagonist, having been sent by zeus because hercules is taking too long, managing to get the edge over thor and capture him, prompting hercules to go after him and release thor, at which point the two gods could 2v1 Ares, or even better, zeus arrives and its a 2v2 with hercules fighting ares while Thor deals with Zeus again,
This way, hercules is established as a hero, the lingering threat of Zeus has been delt with, and Thor can regain his aura after love and thunder,
But what do yall think?

Also yes, bringing in goldstein and casting him as a fan favourite from the comics is too big to not bring back
