8 Years On, I Still Can't Believe The MCU Hasn't Delivered On The Best Character Tease

Unfulfilled Promise: The MCU's Best Character Tease

Marvel Studios still hasn't paid off a brilliant character tease from the MCU's Phase 3, even eight years later.

Thor: Ragnarok, released in 2017, confirmed the existence of one of Marvel's best heroes, but didn't mark the character's debut.

The film took everything away from Thor, trapping him on the garbage planet of Sakaar, where he reunited with Bruce Banner's Hulk, the champion of the Grandmaster, Sakaar's tyrannical leader.

One of the most exciting character teases in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Marvel Studios has teased live-action versions of many iconic characters who haven't yet appeared in the MCU.

Author's summary: The MCU still hasn't delivered on a great character tease.
