- Asgardians. Introduced in Thor,the gods of Norse mythology were the first deities to appear in the MCU. Hailing from the hidden realm of Asgard, the Asgardians are extremely powerful warriors whose activities on Earth caused them to be worshipped by the ancient people of Norway.
- Olympians. The Greek gods don’t currently have a presence in the MCU, but they’re confirmed to make their MCU debut in Phase 4. Thor: Love and Thunder is set to introduce Russell Crowe’s Zeus, the leader of the Greek pantheon.
- Egyptian Gods. Commonly referred to as the Heliopolitans in Marvel Comics, the Egyptian gods are the newest race of superhumans to join the MCU. It was discovered in Moon Knight episode 3 that these ancient deities turned their backs on humanity thousands of years ago.
- Wakandan Gods. The people of Wakanda seemingly have their own pantheon. And like the Asgardians, their gods also appear to be more than just myths. Bast, the beloved panther goddess who created the Black Panther legacy, was seen by T’Challa in a vision.

- The Gods of Egypt. Thanks to Marvel’s series Moon Knight, we’ve been officially introduced to the Egyptian Marvel gods. Unlike the Norse and Greek gods, who each just wield their own powers, the Egyptian gods designate avatars to do their earthly bidding.

Apr 18, 2022 · Marvel Comics’ gods have been part of the MCU ever since Thor first touched down on Midgard, but the Ennead stand out for being unabashedly godly in their portrayal. These aren’t Asgardian aliens who inspired Norse myths or Eternal constructs put in place by Celestials eons ago, these are straight-up gods - and they’ve opened the door to ...
