this is where things start getting a little dicey as characters in this movie don’t have their last names shown . however , even if these are in name only references it shows a level of commitment we haven’t seen yet .
it is another crown jewel of sony ' s for sure . but homecoming , the name , is a double entendre on purpose , right ?
spider - man : homecoming has finally reached cinemas , solidifying the web - slinger ' s place in the marvel cinematic universe after debuting in captain america : civil war .
spider - man : homecoming will swing into movie theaters on july 7 , 2017 . check out the clip , and let us know what you think :
esmail , who is very hands - on with “mr . robot , ” is expected to have less involvement in the “homecoming” tv series , though he might direct the pilot .
spoiler alert ! we ' re discussing plot points integral to the conclusion of ' spider - man : homecoming , ' so beware if you haven’t seen it yet .
the reveal is something fans have been guessing at since zendaya was first cast in the role as the mystery character in
homecoming ,
but it ' s still not completely clear who michelle is in marvel ' s cinematic universe .
but it ' s also a homecoming to marvel . and a homecoming to the cinematic universe that spider - man belongs in . so it ' s a pretty unprecedented deal between two studios , but we ' re really proud of it . and all i can tell you is , those guys at marvel — i think the technical term is — they know their shit .
homecoming , gimlet media’s experimental - fiction podcast written by micah bloomberg and eli horowitz , is a curious artifact . on its face , the project codes as a serious conspiracy thriller , one whose ludicrously star - studded cast list — which includes catherine keener , oscar isaac , and david schwimmer — suggests some ambition of being a prestige entertainment product , something perhaps comparable to what you’d find on hbo or amc , except in a podcast feed . but as the show wrapped up its second season last week , all those gestures of grandiosity don’t seem to quite make sense . that’s because homecoming didn’t quite turn out to be a suspenseful conspiracy thriller at all ; instead , it was an absurdist drama of office politics .
with happy hogan ( jon favreau , far left ) trailing behind , tony stark ( robert downey jr . ) makes peter ( tom holland ) an intriguing offer at the end of ' homecoming . '
cue victoria justice , who looked seriously fierce at last night ' s teen choice awards wearing a white one - shoulder jumpsuit , which is by nicolas jebran . we love the draped asymmetric style and sharply tailored trousers on this all - in - one , which stylist madison guest put together with stuart weitzman shoes and an edie parker clutch .
jones has good reason to be thrilled , as she explained in a statement . “bet was the first network and place where i was on tv—i am looking to turn this whole experience into a joyful homecoming , ” she said . last year’s show was hosted by anthony anderson and tracee ellis ross , but the overtly political tone made a bigger impression than the hosts . from a great performance of “freedom” by beyoncé and kendrick lamar to a fiery speech from jesse williams , the show’s highlights were all in tune with the political moment—and that was before trump and his band of white nationalists made their way to the white house . this year , anything’s possible , from the guests or from jones herself—joyful homecoming or no , it seems likely she’ll at least break out her donald trump impression . we’ll find out for sure on june 25 , when the bet awards will be broadcast live from los angeles .
which is all to say that the plot isn’t quite the point with homecoming . indeed , just why anything matters is never fully realized beyond your attachment to simply being around these characters . but , hey , you can get a lot of mileage from mood and texture and charisma alone ( see twin peaks : the return ) , and if you’re looking for a good time piping the voices of hollywood a - listers into your earballs , homecoming ’s got your back for miles .
spider - man : homecoming does something pretty fantastic with its final scene , and we wanted to dig into a bit . if you haven’t seen the movie yet , quit reading now because there are spoilers ahead .
adam levine and the rest of the group took to the stage to accept their award .
when it was announced in 2015 , the film that would become spider - man : homecoming sounded less than exciting . this would be our third peter parker in a decade , emerging shakily from another troubled reboot and the tatters of grand shared universe plans .
she continued : ' you are the future leaders of the world , the future president , the future senators and you will make the world better . '
indianapolis – students and alumni of broad ripple high school celebrated what could be their last homecoming friday night , as the indianapolis public schools board will vote early next week on whether to close the building . during the day students marched in a parade through broad ripple village , and in the evening , alumni grilled food while reminiscing on old times . “i ' m just very proud to be a rocket , ” said johannon tate of the class of 1997 . “we just have a lot of school spirit and it ' s really , really sad to know this could be the last one . ” brian and jessica deubner brought their son jack to the festivities and said the school plays a significant role in their history . “it ' s kind of surreal to think it won ' t be here any longer - - it has so many memories for us and a pretty special place in our history ,
said jessica . without broad ripple high school , the couple said they may have never met .
we met my sophomore year of high school . started dating my senior year . we ' re married now with our sweet little baby ,
said jessica .
“mr . robot” creator sam esmail seems to have something against vacations . in addition to developing a “metropolis” miniseries , deadline reports that esmail is also planning to tackle a tv adaptation of the popular gimlet media podcast “ homecoming . ”
number of refugees accepted into the u . s . falls below the rest of the world combined for the first time since 1980
it sounds like spider - man : homecoming ' s star is getting through a lot of outfits – although it ' s not because he ' s all fingers and thumbs , but just too physically active .
it’s exciting to see where future homecoming movies will go now that may knows peter is spider - man and how she chooses to deal with that information . at the very least , it’s yet another thing that helps differentiate the mcu spider - man from those that came before .
it ' s relevant to the story because it takes place in high school and there is a scene — that i guess i can give a little thing — at a homecoming dance . i ' ve actually seen the dailies of it because we already did the high school shooting of it in the first couple weeks and it ' s fantastic .
the bigger takeaway from the scene is the hint at a future spider - man villain , scorpion .
not that such structural tinkering should be discouraged , of course . the modern audio drama remains way too reliant on skeuomorphism , too tethered to analogs and facsimiles of old radio formats . and so homecoming should be commended for trying out a few novel additions to the vocabulary of audio drama ; if only they had a story , and a plot , worth testing its new inventions . as it stands , homecoming ’s main contribution to the form is the way it attends to the following operational question , one untested until the debut of its first season : will the quality of an audio drama change when you stock it with performers of an extremely high level ? the answer is most definitely yes , wonderfully so .
laura harrier as liz allan while her last name is not mentioned in the movie proper one of big twists we find out is that liz’s dad is actually adrian toomes aka the vulture . there is the chance that allan will become her name if her mother decides to get a divorce following the trial . liz first appeared in the comics in 1962 but in 1974 she was revived in a story line that revealed her stepbrother was the molten man . if her mother ends up getting a divorce and remarries then it would make sense that they could go that route with the character . at the end of the movie she moves away from new york to oregon with her mother so she’s not in town when the trial of her father starts .
there are shockers in spider - man : homecoming — two of them , in fact — but what’s not much of a surprise is that peter parker ( tom holland ) saves the day and foils the vulture ' s ( michael keaton ) plan to steal a plane full of avengers gear .
rian johnson spoke with good morning america yesterday following the star wars : the last jedi sizzle reel from d23 , and was asked about the role of carrie fisher in the movie . “carrie gives a really beautiful performance in the film , £ he said . “we obviously didn’t make the movie to be her final star wars movie . given that though , i think there are scenes that she has that are going to mean a lot to people and there are scenes that we have with her where now not having her around i watch them and i think i’m really thankful that we have that and we can give that to people . ” read the rest of the interview here .
his monologue is done in the style of the various educational school videos that play throughout
spider - man : homecoming .
he ' s in a short clip while peter ' s in detention and there ' s also a video of captain america in gym class which has appeared in marketing trailers .
at the start of homecoming , peter hassles tony stark ( robert downey jr . ) about when he’ll get the call to join the avengers ; after spidey defeats the vulture , stark presents the kid with an awesome new spider - suit but peter turns him down . he wants to remain a friendly neighborhood spider - man for a little bit longer — or at least until iron man needs him in infinity war .
this is about to change as michael b . jordan ' s killmonger invades the african nation and challenges the current king , t ' challa , aka black panther , to the right to the throne . after besting the panther , killmonger plans to use the technology to help other minorities in the rest of the world overthrow the current hierarchy .
this is a big part of the reason why spider - man : homecoming , despite being the sixth spider - man film in 15 years , feels so fresh and lively . it’s the first costumed caper in what feels like forever to be aimed squarely at the high - school crowd it so vividly portrays , replete with an actor who was actually a teenager when he pulled on the tights . ladies and gentlemen , let me introduce you to the millennial spider - man .

peter’s crush in ' homecoming ' is liz ( laura harrier ) , but zendaya’s character michelle blooms as a possible love interest . mary jane watson , or “mj , ” is spidey’s longtime romance in the comics — played by kirsten dunst in the tobey maguire ' spider - man ' films — and michelle reveals that’s her nickname .
the movie will be released on july 5 in the uk and july 7 in the us – making it the fourth film in mcu ' s phase three .

bokeem woodbine as herman schultz aka the shocker while he doesn’t appear in his costume schultz is about as close to a secondary villain as spider - man : homecoming has . he gets the “shocker” glove from jackson brice ( logan marshall green ) after vulture accidentally kills him . schultz goes after peter at the dance but ned saves peter’s life and he leaves schultz webbed to the side of a school bus . he is assumed captured and still alive .
kenneth choi as principal morita this isn’t the first time marvel has used the same actors in smaller roles but this the first time they have acknowledged it . we first saw kenneth choi in captain america : the first avengers as a member of the howling commandos . in homecoming we see peter sitting in principal morita’s office and there is a picture of his character from the first avenger confirming him to be a descendant . this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this as tripp from agents of s . h . i . e . l . d . was a descendant of gabe jones ( derek luke )
the actors weren ' t afraid to pull some funny faces while on the carpet either .

many blessings today to the star of spider - man : homecoming , tom holland , and the film ' s director , jon watts ( standing in here for jon is some dude that was passing by ) , as they begin their shoot in atlanta just as we are ending ours . i don ' t think we could pass the marvel baton to two nicer , better guys who care more about what they ' re doing . kill it !
“homecoming , ” which debuted november 16 , is presented as a collage of telephone calls , therapy sessions , and overheard conversations . the podcast features catherine keener , david schwimmer and oscar isaac and tells the story of a caseworker at a secret government facility , her ambitious supervisor , and a soldier who are desperate to rejoin civilian life . ucp , where esmail has a first - look deal , and “mr . robot” producer anonymous content secured the rights .
he ' s here ! thanos continues his quest to collect all the infinity stones and wipe out half the galaxy . in this film - - a decade in the making - - the mad titan finally meets the avengers and crazy action ensues .
with two more homecoming sequels planned and the filmmakers planning on keeping peter in high school during that time , it could open the door to giving may a more substantive , complex character that’s completely unlike anything we’ve seen from her so far . tomei is a talented actress , so hopefully future films will really delve into her reaction to this news and how she’s going to handle that her nephew is a superhero .
the ending also sets the stage for what ' s coming in
infinity war ,
as wakanda will play a major role in the action .
director jon watts also manages to throw in a few fun twists that lead into next year’s avengers : infinity war as well as a fourth avengers and a homecoming sequel , set for may 3 and july 5 , 2019 , respectively . plus it’s a marvel movie , so naturally there are post - credits scenes .
behind the camera , we have relative newcomer jon watts . he directed 2014 ' s surprisingly funny clown and 2015 ' s cop car . the excellent performances from the young actors in the latter presumably helped bag him the job on spider - man .
watts said there ' s a chance we could definitely see toomes return . and that ' s great news . not only was keaton one of the bright spots of
homecoming ,
but it ' s tough to imagine a future spider - man movie without him . after all , he ' s a part of the sinister six — a legion of spider - man villains who eventually gather together . sony has considered making a movie about them in the past .
thor is imprisoned on the planet sakaar , and must race against time to return to asgard and stop ragnarök , the destruction of his world , at the hands of the powerful and ruthless villain hela .
gargan appears earlier in the film , during the boat scene , attempting to purchase chitauri weaponry , but gets imprisoned after an encounter with spider - man and the fbi . during the mid - credits scene , the character , itching his scorpion tattoo , asks whether vulture knows who the superhero really is , saying there are “friends on the outside” wanting revenge .
in an episode dedicated to the show within the show , “glow” illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .
zendaya repeatedly assured fans for months she wasn ' t playing mary jane or spidey ' s love interest , and for the most part , she kept her word — her first name is really michelle in this iteration of spider - man . she also isn ' t linked to peter romantically , at least in this movie . since there ' s already a sequel to
homecoming
in the works , that could certainly change .
donald glover as aaron davis aka the prowler a lot was made of glover when he was cast in spider - man : homecoming because he’d been vocal for years about wanting to play miles morales . it doesn’t look like he’s going to get the opportunity , but he does get the chance to play someone close to miles morales . aaron davis , aka the prowler , is miles’ uncle and a thief . in the movie he’s seen as a low level thief just looking to buy some weapons and in a police report the name “prowler” is seen as an alias . while peter is questioning him aaron gives up the location of the next weapons sale because he wants the high tech weapons off of the street because “he has a nephew in this neighborhood / . ” he never says how old this kid is only that he exists which makes miles morales fans very happy .
actor drake bell is the voice of peter parker on the animated series ' ultimate spider - man . '
wakanda is the most technologically advanced country in the world , but almost no one knows it even exists .
victoria justice , who hosted the 2016 show , came out to highlight an instagram game for fans watching at home - giving the first clue of the night .
as spider - man , however , tom holland feels far closer to the average teenager , smartyet insecure , and with a mouth that just won’t stop . yes , he’s as awkward in the suit as he is out of it , but spider - man : homecoming never sets up a hackneyed nerds - v - jocks scenario . instead , it depicts high school in a way that most people in their teens would see as being perfectly normal .
that sense of disorientation is further exacerbated by the creative team’s decision to eschew any guiding narration . the non - narrated format is a technique that you’d almost exclusively find employed among documentary podcasts , most prominently by the history - oriented radio diaries and the more aggressively ambitious love + radio ( which often exploits the non - narration to blur the lines between fact and fiction to powerful effect ) . but both those shows still had the benefit of relying on the interview format as a key , giving audiences a framework that they’re already familiar with to justify the experience of a nonconventional structure . homecoming , in contrast , has no such key , seemingly opting to present itself as an enigma whose enigmatism is justification enough . this is slightly less of a problem in this second season , which is decidedly more conventional than the first , but some troublesome stylistic tics are nonetheless held over .
“if the whole movie is having fun with the ( teen - movie ) world , why couldn’t our post - credits scene do the same ? ” watts says .
iron man and the gang take down hydra and recapture loki ' s scepter . but tony uses the stone inside the weapon to create artificial intelligence , ultron . this backfires and ultron wages war against the avengers and the human race . you start to see a real break in the team between cap and iron man on their beliefs . they eventually take down ultron , but at the cost of countless lives after the city of sokovia is destroyed .
spider - man is back on the big screen for the sixth time , but now sony and disney ' s marvel studios have teamed up to bring the web crawler to life . that means fans of the franchise should make sure to stick around after the film is over for not one , but two extra scenes after the movie ends .
cw ' s drama riverdale won choice tv drama show where dedicated the award to an important member of the show ' s family who passed away during the first season .
according to kevin feige , marvel studios will be making the creative decisions on the film , so we can look forward to a spider - man movie that is completely ( and finally ) synched up with the rest of the mcu .
how it ends - - the collector ' s home where he keeps his treasures is destroyed and we see howard the duck for the first time in 20 years on screen .
how it ends - spidey wins the day and wins the respect of stark in the process . but in the end , he agrees with tony ' s original assessment and turns down a spot to be in the avengers to remain everyone ' s favorite
friendly neighborhood spider - man .
sony almost released a sinister six film following the amazing spider - man , cancelling the picture after a negative response to that blockbuster . the team could finally make an appearance .
how it ends - strange succeeds and becomes the sorcerer supreme . he is key , because the mystic arts are important for the impending war the avengers will have with thanos , possibly the most powerful villain in marvel . that movie is set for 2018 and expect strange to play a big part .
also his partner in the battle , mordo , played by chiwetel ejiofor , no longer believes in the ancient one or strange . he thinks he ' s seen the light and basically turns bad , looking to take out all the other sorcerers .
the guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mystery of peter quill ' s true parentage .
while on a journey of physical and spiritual healing , a brilliant neurosurgeon is drawn into the world of the mystic arts .
how it ends - - in the post - credit scene , you see stark run into ross at a bar and ask about the hulk in order to recruit him for the avengers .
the actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .
we ' ve already mentioned that tom holland will be taking over the role as everyone ' s favourite nerd peter parker , making him the second brit to do so . the impossible and wolf hall actor showed off his acrobatics skills for months , proving that he ' s the bouncy young man for the job .
michael chernus as phineas manson aka the tinkerer manson is a member of vulture’s crew and the one who spends the majority of the movie trying to create bigger and better weapons . he was first created in 1963 and has been a regular spider - man villain since . in the movie he’s not much more than a second level henchman and it’s unclear if he’s arrested in the end .
martin starr as mr . roger harrington while not that notable in the comics harrington does play a decent role in the movie . he’s the teacher assigned as academic decathlon coach . he probably has the most screen time out of all the teachers . he was first introduced in 2001 but during a story line involving mysterio .
the audience knows that ' s not the case at all . time will tell whether or not gargan believes him , too .
initially shocking fans less than 30 minutes into the show , victoria justice came on stage and within a matter of seconds dropped the bombshell that miley was a no - show for the night .
she wore a red and blue jumpsuit that covered most of her great figure and kept her sunglasses on for most of the performance before taking them off close to the end of the song .
kat deeley also appeared on stage as a substitute for the absent miley cyrus and presented vanessa hudgens with the see her award .
you may have missed it earlier in the film , but the name of michael mando ' s character is mac gargan . gargan , as spidey fans know , eventually becomes the spider - man nemesis . eagle - eyed viewers may have noticed the scorpion tattoo on gargan ' s neck which hinted at the character as well .
michael mando as mac gargan aka the scorpion while never called scorpion gargan is part of the weapons bust that leads to the ferry getting cut in half . he’s called by name and there is a scorpion tattoo on his neck . he’s arrested by the fbi during the boat incident . in the first end credits scenes he sees toomes in the same prison . he says he has people on the outside itching to kill spider - man and that toomes knows who spider - man is . toomes denies it protecting peter’s identity .
plot : the story of a young boy in the midwest is told simultaneously with a tale about a young girl in new york from fifty years ago as they both seek the same mysterious connection .
a menage a trois with two brothers falling for the same woman , a prophetic staging of euripides’ “trojan women” at the seaside town , a passionate nationalist who is driven to the extreme : a small community living its personal stories , dreams , hidden and compelling desires , set at the backdrop of the political turbulence of that summer .

a young peter parker / spider - man ( tom holland ) , who made his sensational debut in captain america : civil war , begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web - slinging super hero in spider - man : homecoming . thrilled by his experience with the avengers , peter returns home , where he lives with his aunt may ( marisa tomei ) , under the watchful eye of his new mentor tony stark ( robert downey , jr . ) . peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood spider - man – but when the vulture ( michael keaton ) emerges as a new villain , everything that peter holds most important will be threatened .
plot : a crime mystery set in the quiet family town of suburbicon during the 1950s , where the best and worst of humanity is hilariously reflected through the deeds of seemingly ordinary people . when a home invasion turns deadly , a picture - perfect family turns to blackmail , revenge and betrayal .
most of the show’s pleasure comes from the opportunity it gives to marinate yourself in keener , schwimmer , sedaris , and isaac’s performances . homecoming is , and i don’t mean this uncharitably , essentially a series of intriguing scene work strung together with makeshift narrative threads . the characters are mostly presented in pairs , and the action plays out in a consistent stream of negotiation , transaction , mind games , and verbal combat . ( very rarely are there pure conversations . ) keener matches up with a casual isaac , effervescent with chemistry . sedaris squares off with schwimmer , and later jonze . most of the cast gets solid individual moments — even michael cera gets a moment to express fiery agita — but it is schwimmer’s performance that truly stands out . his verbal style , perpetually soaked in a sense of desperation , acutely embodies two intertwining themes that run throughout the show : gaslighting and shitty men . it’s shocking , really , just how potently schwimmer’s performance evokes the feeling of the consuming political coverage in 2017 , in which every rational cell in your brain is being assaulted by the words , actions , and emotions of one man .
jacob batalon as ned leeds while this one could be in name only ned leeds is best known as the third hobgoblin . leeds is a character that was first introduced in 1964 . in the movie ned is seen as peter’s best friend and the “man in the chair” as peter calls him . he’s also one of the few people who knows who spider - man is . in the comics leeds is brainwashed into becoming the third hobgoblin and is then brought back to life afterwards . he was first introduced in 1964 .
spider - man : homecoming has had a lot of praise from fans and critics , especially for michael keaton’s vulture . in a brand new interview with yahoo , screenwriters jonathan goldstein and john francis daley revealed their version of the character in their original draft . “he was still stealing from damage control , but we had a different way into it , ” daley said , stating he was initially a science teacher at peter’s school . “no , let’s separate him fully from the school — or at least so it seems . ’ and that’s i think when we decided to make [ spoilers ] . ” read more here .
abraham attah as abraham “abe” brown one of peter’s classmates and a member of the academic decathalon team abe is a marvel character that first appeared in 1974 . he’s taken up the mantle of black tiger in the past and has connections to spider - man , iron fist , and the human torch .
to say that spider - man : homecoming has a lot of callbacks to marvel comics and spider - man comics in particular would be an understatement . this is one of those movies where every character on screen is a callback or a hint toward another character . there are some that are obvious and some that we’ve known for awhile but having seen the movie it’s time to take a look at all of these characters and see who they are . to do so will require a spoiler warning about various plot points over the course of the movie . some of these reveals are pretty fun to watch play out so if you don’t want to know anything skip this article and we’ll see you after july 7th .

about hercules now , or continue with the hero ' s biography , below .
hercules trades in his old lionskin for the new cloak deianira has woven him .
like the myths about theseus , perseus , and bellerophon , the tales of hercules combine high adventure with unforgettable characters . the stories remain classic examples of the incredible story - telling techniques of the greek myths .
hercules : the legendary journeys cast list , including photos of the actors when available . this list includes all of the hercules : the legendary journeys main actors and actresses , so if they are an integral part of the show you ' ll find them below . you can various bits of trivia about these hercules : the legendary journeys stars , such as where the actor was born and what their year of birth is . this cast list of actors from hercules : the legendary journeys focuses primarily on the main characters , but there may be a few actors who played smaller roles on hercules : the legendary journeys that are on here as well .
after he completed the 12 labors , hercules didn ' t just sit back and rest on his laurels . he had many more adventures . one was to rescue the princess of troy from a hungry sea - monster . another was to help zeus defeat the giants in a great battle for the control of olympus . you might want to
the erymanthean boar fourth , hercules used a giant net to snare the terrifying , man - eating wild boar of mount erymanthus .
9 . to bring back hippolyte ' s girdle . hippolyte was the queen of the amazons , and her belt ( girdle ) was a symbol of her right to rule . the amazons originally welcomed hercules but hera , disguised as one of them , spread a rumor that hercules had come to kidnap the queen and enslave them . the women attacked hercules and hippolyte was killed in the fight ; hercules then took her belt and left . in another version of this labor , however , no one dies ; hercules kidnaps hippolyte ' s sister and ransoms her for the belt and then leaves peacefully . on his return voyage he has many other side - adventures , which further enrage eurystheus , but he accepts the girdle as a legitimate labor .
hercules was both the most famous hero of ancient times and the most beloved . more stories were told about him than any other hero . hercules was worshipped in many temples all over greece and rome .
as part of his sentence , hercules had to perform twelve labors , feats so difficult that they seemed impossible . fortunately , hercules had the help of hermes and athena , sympathetic deities who showed up when he really needed help . by the end of these labors , hercules was , without a doubt , greece ' s greatest hero .
born of a mortal woman and the king of the gods , hercules is blessed with extraordinary strength . the goddess hera commands that the mighty hercules must undergo twelve incredible tasks to pay for a mistake he made in the past . hercules easily completes the first few labors , as he overpowers a ravenous lion and battles a giant bull barehanded . but not all the gods support him , and hercules faces difficult tasks that test his strength and his mind .
, the experience of virtuous struggle and suffering which would lead to fame and , in hercules ' case , immortality .
apollo understood that hercules’ crime had not been his fault—hera’s vengeful actions were no secret—but still he insisted that the young man make amends . he ordered hercules to perform 12 “heroic labors” for the mycenaen king eurystheus . once hercules completed every one of the labors , apollo declared , he would be absolved of his guilt and achieve immortality .
thus begins hercules ' quest to find the seven mighty thunderbolts , which are hidden inside monsters across the universe .
the nemean lion first , apollo sent hercules to the hills of nemea to kill a lion that was terrorizing the people of the region . ( some storytellers say that zeus had fathered this magical beast as well . ) hercules trapped the lion in its cave and strangled it . for the rest of his life , he wore the animal’s pelt as a cloak .
the horses of diomedes hercules’ eighth challenge was to capture the four man - eating horses of the thracian king diomedes . he brought them to eurystheus , who dedicated the horses to hera and set them free .
if you are wondering ,
who are the actors from hercules : the legendary journeys ?
or
who starred on hercules : the legendary journeys ?
then this list will help you answer those questions .
the apples of hesperides next , eurystheus sent hercules to steal hera’s wedding gift to zeus : a set of golden apples guarded by a group of nymphs known as the hesperides . this task was difficult—hercules needed the help of the mortal prometheus and the god atlas to pull it off—but the hero eventually managed to run away with the apples . after he showed them to the king , he returned them to the gods’ garden where they belonged .
he manages this with the help of king minos of crete , and travels back to greece on the back of the bull as it swims across the mediterranean .
there are as many different versions of hercules ' life story as there are storytellers . differences between the disney movie version and other versions include the explanation of who hercules ' parents were , and why he had to perform the 12 labors . zeus , hercules ' father , was the most powerful of the gods . that meant zeus could do anything he pleased , but it also meant that sometimes zeus was not a very good husband to his wife , hera , the queen of the gods .
when hercules received the cloak and tried it on , his body immediately began to burn with excruciating pain . he tried to pull the cloak off , but the pain burned even harder and deeper . death , thought hercules , would be better than unendurable pain . bellowing in agony , he asked his friends to build a huge pile of wood on the top of mount oeta . this would be hercules ' funeral pyre . he laid himself upon the pyre , and told his friends to light it . as the fire began to burn hercules alive , the great gods looked down from olympus . zeus said to hera that hercules had suffered enough . hera agreed and ended her anger . zeus sent athena to take hercules from the pyre , and she brought hercules to olympus on her chariot .
the cretan bull next , hercules went to crete to capture a rampaging bull that had impregnated the wife of the island’s king . ( she later gave birth to the minotaur , a creature with a man’s body and a bull’s head . ) hercules drove the bull back to eurystheus , who released it into the streets of marathon .
11 . to bring back the golden apples of hesperides . en route to the sacred grove where the apples grew , hercules found prometheus bound to his rock and set him free . prometheus was grateful and told him that the apples were guarded by a dragon named ladon who could not be conquered , and so hercules should try to get the titan atlas , who held up the earth and heavens on his shoulders , to get the apples for him . when hercules reached the grove , atlas agreed to help , but hercules would have to shoulder the weight of the world while atlas went to get the apples . hercules accepted the load and atlas got the apples . when he returned , however , atlas did not want to take the weight back and was going to leave hercules in his place . hercules cheerfully agreed to stay and hold up the universe but asked atlas if he could take the weight again for just one moment so that he could adjust his cloak to cushion his shoulders . atlas took back the universe and hercules picked up the apples and left .
10 . to bring back the cattle of geryon , king of cadiz . hercules had many side - adventures on this labor , including inadvertently building the pillars of hercules at gibraltar and threatening to shoot the sun with his arrows for making him too hot . when he finally reached cadiz ( spain ) , he had many problems rounding up the cattle , including having to chase down a bull ( the herd had to be complete in order to be accepted for the labor ) . bringing the cattle back to greece , hera sent gadflies to sting the beasts and scattered them , so hercules had to round them up again . then the princess celtine saw hercules and fell in love with him . she hid the cattle and would not divulge their whereabouts unless he had sex with her . this he did and so became the father of celtus , progenitor of the celts . he finally brought the cattle back to eurystheus who accepted the labor as legitimate .
when hercules grew up and had become a great warrior , he married megara . they had two children . hercules and megara were very happy , but life didn ' t turn out for them the way it does in the movie . hera sent a fit of madness to hercules that put him into so great a rage , he murdered megara and the children .
the first creature that hercules has a run in with is a guy in a monster suit that looks like it was made out of a combination of dirty mops and doghair . there’s lots of rolling around , jumping in the air and whenever hercules throws a punch that connects , the screen flashes red and we get a spacey sound effect .
ninth on the agenda is obtaining the belt of hippolyte ( a . k . a . hippolyta ) , the queen of the amazons .
the stymphlaian birds hercules’ sixth task was straightforward : travel to the town of stymphalos and drive away the huge flock of carnivorous birds that had taken up residence in its trees . this time , it was the goddess athena who came to the hero’s aid : she gave him a pair of magical bronze krotala , or noisemakers , forged by the god hephaistos . hercules used these tools to frighten the birds away .
many of the elements of the first film ' s story were changed in the second movie . the creation of the universe , which is described as the result of an exploding jar in the first film , is changed in the sequel to be the creation of
an ancient angel - like figure : a goddess whom the ancients named emperia . from within her came the seed of light .
somehow , this seed of light created the universe .

lou ferrigno as hercules with his voice dubbed over in the 80s . hilarious stuff . a great way to start off a festival of bad movies .
also the character daedalus who created the robots for king minos in the first hercules was renamed
dedalos
in the sequel . this may be due to the discrepancies between the screenplay and greco - roman mythology , especially that of gender .

there ' s no story about how heracles ' marriage to omphale ended . the only thing everybody seems to be able to agree on is that he had tons of adventures while he was with the african queen , but that eventually he moved on to wife number three . . .

tate donovan also counts - except kingdom hearts i , where hercules is voiced by sean astin - though in the case of the tv series , he wound up voicing hercules as a teenager even if in the movie he was only him as an adult ( young herc was josh keaton ) .
the rebel gods find out about this and haul their own champion out of retirement . king minos gets brought back from the dead to kill hercules and rid the bad gods of the last obstacle between them and whatever it is they’re trying to accomplish .
cerberus for his final challenge , hercules traveled to hades to kidnap cerberus , the vicious three - headed dog that guarded its gates . hercules managed to capture cerberus by using his superhuman strength to wrestle the monster to the ground . afterward , the dog returned unharmed to his post at the entrance to the underworld .
, at this point , or you can continue to read about his life . most of the pictures of hercules shown at this web site were painted by the greeks on vases around 2200 to 2500 years ago . notice that hercules wears a lion ' s skin , the prize from his first labor , and wields a huge club .
luckily her career pressed on in the meantime and after the bronx started showing . the internationally distributed ( but critically reviled ) sequel the adventures of hercules ii ( in which she played the goddess aphrodite ) literally put her name up in lights in 1985 . the 1989 italian comedy ho vinto la lotteria di capodanno ( “ i won the new year ' s lottery ” ) in which newton played arcangela , was mostly seen in italy , but has such a large following there that it remains another of her best known works .

hercules got even more bad news . apollo declared that he had to go to the city of tiryns . the king of tiryns was eurystheus [ you - riss - theus ] . eurystheus had a reputation for being mean , and hercules knew that the king would give him a tough time . the hero had to serve eurystheus for twelve years while he performed the labors . there was some good news , though . when the tasks were completed , apollo said , hercules would become immortal . unlike other men , instead of dying and going to the underworld of hades , he would become a god .
moreover , his acts of purification align him more closely with bellerophon , who killed his brother by accident . in both of these situations , the hero ' s good will does not affect his wrong actions . in the case of hercules , who kills his children simply because hera puts a spell on him , the tragic killings appear especially unfair . why should hercules be punished for crimes he committed because of hera ' s manipulation ? in the way he accepts his fate and seeks purification , hercules proves himself to be humble in the way that greek culture promoted .
heracles ' hometown of thebes has had to pay a tribute every year to erginus , the king of the minyans .
nessus is a centaur , a creature with the upper torso of a man , but the body of a horse .

hippolyte’s belt the ninth labor was complicated : stealing an armored belt that belonged to the amazon queen hippolyte . at first , the queen welcomed hercules and agreed to give him the belt without a fight . however , the troublemaking hera disguised herself as an amazon warrior and spread a rumor that hercules intended to kidnap the queen . to protect their leader , the women attacked the hero’s fleet ; then , fearing for his safety , hercules killed hippolyte and ripped the belt from her body .
the lernaean hydra second , hercules traveled to the city of lerna to slay the nine - headed hydra—a poisonous , snake - like creature who lived underwater , guarding the entrance to the underworld . for this task , hercules had the help of his nephew iolaus . he cut off each of the monster’s heads while iolaus burned each wound with a torch . this way , the pair kept the heads from growing back . the golden hindnext , hercules set off to capture the sacred pet of the goddess diana : a red deer , or hind , with golden antlers and bronze hooves . eurystheus had chosen this task for his rival because he believed that diana would kill anyone she caught trying to steal her pet ; however , once hercules explained his situation to the goddess , she allowed him to go on his way without punishment .
sure , any movie that smells like herc’s jockstrap after a month of nonstop monster fighting could end like that , but the adventures of hercules is bound and determined not only to smell like his jock , but to make you eat it as well ! you see , hercules still has to save the moon from crashing into the earth ! no one really seemed to have any idea what this had to do with anything , but when zeus magically enlarges you so that you’re bigger than the planets and can get between them and push them back into orbit , you just go with it .
to cleanse himself , hercules visits the oracle at delphi . the oracle tells him to go to eurystheus , who sends him on almost impossible challenges . hercules completes all of his twelve labors : killing the lion of nemea , killing a creature with nine heads called the hydra , capturing a stag with horns of gold , killing a boar , cleaning the thousands of aegean stables in one day , exiling the stymphalian birds , going to crete and retrieving the beautiful savage bull that poseidon gave minos , retrieving the man - eating mares , bringing back the girdle of hippolyta , returning the back of the cattle of geryon ( a monster with three bodies ) , bringing back the golden apples of hesperides—and , finally , bringing cerberus , the three - headed dog , up from hades .
hercules is considered the greatest greek hero of all . unlike theseus , who was both very strong and thoughtful , hercules simply is strong . in fact , he is the strongest man who has ever existed , and therefore he considers himself something of a god . indeed , he is half - god , a son of zeus . supremely confident , hercules showed his brute force from a very early age , when he wrestled a snake that had slithered into his baby cradle .
next , heracles has to travel to the island of crete and captures the divine bull , who is said to be the father of the minotaur , the monster that the hero theseus later defeats .
there’s no doubt that hercules is still in tip top he - man form , but this hercules is a more mature one as well . in the previous movie , he stood around a lot , offering very little in the way of anything except for smashing , busting , throwing , and breaking whatever was in front of him .
hercules , son of the greek god , zeus , is turned into a half - god , half - mortal by evil hades , god of the underworld , who plans to overthrow zeus . hercules is raised on earth and retains his god - like strength , but when he discovers his immortal heritage zeus tells him that to return to mount olympus he must become a true hero . hercules becomes a famous hero with the help of his friend pegasus and his personal trainer , phil the satyr . hercules battles monsters , hades and the titans , but it is his self - sacrifice to rescue his love meg which makes him a true hero .
12 . to bring back cerberus , the guard dog of the underworld . for the last labor , eurystheus decided on something he knew would be impossible : to bring back , alive , the three - headed dog who guarded the entrance to hades . before he could enter the underworld , hercules had to become initiated in the eleusinian mysteries at the sacred city of eleusis . he then journeyed to hades , where he had further adventures in the underworld such as freeing his cousin theseus from the chair of forgetfulness where he had been bound . he also spoke with the hero meleager , with whom he had journeyed with the argonauts , who told him that , when he returned to earth , he should marry meleager ' s sister deianira . hercules was allowed by hades to take cerberus provided he did not hurt the dog . he wrestled cerberus into submission and brought him back to eurystheus who was so terrified of the animal that he told hercules all the labors were done and to bring the dog back to where he ' d found it .

so the whole time i thought i was watching the film hercules in which a bear gets thrown into space by hercules . imagine my disappointment when i got to the end of the film and no bears had been thrown into space . i then did a little sluething , and i realized that i had inadvertently watched the sequel to the movie where a bear gets thrown into space , not the bear being thrown into space movie . this definitely explains why the movie started with a bunch of clips of hercules doing all this crazy stuff that is not in the film . anyway , this movie is superior to the rock ' s hercules , given that it is very strange and ridiculous , but it is inferior to most other movies because it is not very good .

the cattle of geryon for his 10th labor , hercules was dispatched nearly to africa to steal the cattle of the three - headed , six - legged monster geryon . once again , hera did all she could to prevent the hero from succeeding , but eventually he returned to mycenae with the cows .

deianira and hercules lived happily for a time in calydon until he accidentally killed his father - in - law ' s cupbearer . although it was an accident , and he was forgiven by the king , hercules could not forgive himself and so decided to leave the city with deianira . they reached the river evenus , and there met the centaur nessus who offered to carry deianira across on his back . upon reaching the other side , however , he tried to rape her and hercules shot him with one of his arrows . these were the same arrows hercules had dipped in the blood of the hydra , and the centaur was dying quickly when he told deianira that his blood possessed a special quality as a love potion and that she should take some of it in a vial . if ever she felt that hercules was losing interest in her , he said , she should sprinkle the blood on his shirt and he would be in love with her forever . nessus understood , of course , that the blood would be deadly to any mortal and this was his revenge for hercules ' arrow .
hercules , one of the most famous greek figures , shares a trouble with theseus , for both men inadvertently kill their sons . for hercules , justice means engaging in a series of feats of strength that almost no mortal could accomplish . psychologically , it makes sense that hercules would look for wisdom at such a time from the oracle and that he would face his demons by engaging in endless trials of his virtue . of course , his incredible strength and superhuman power secure his place in legend . nonetheless , his need for purification , which draws him into action , is at its core a human rather than a divine aspect of his being .
hercules was now free to do as he pleased with his life and , after all he had accomplished , it might be thought that he would now be able to enjoy his days in peace ; this would not be so . whether through the trickeries of hera or his own temper and lack of restraint , hercules would endure further troubles . struck again by hera with madness , hercules killed the prince iphitus of oechalia and was told by the oracle that he must sell himself as a slave to atone for his sin . he became the property of queen omphale of lydia who made the hero dress in women ' s clothing and do needlework with the other ladies of the court . omphale eventually took him as her lover and then set him free .
8 . to bring back the mares of diomedes . diomedes was a thracian king who fed his horses on a steady diet of human flesh so that no one could come near them . hercules fed diomedes to the horses and , when they were full , brought them back to eurystheus . it was during this labor , either going to or coming from diomedes ' palace , that hercules stopped to visit his old friend admetus whose wife alcestis had recently died . hercules wrestled death for the soul of alcestis and returned her to her husband .
hercules had enemies even before he was born . when zeus’ wife hera heard that her husband’s mistress was pregnant , she flew into a jealous rage . first , she used her supernatural powers to prevent the baby hercules from becoming the ruler of mycenae . ( though zeus had declared that his son would inherit the mycenaean kingdom , hera’s meddling meant that another baby boy , the feeble eurystheus , became its leader instead . ) then , after hercules was born , hera sent two snakes to kill him in his crib . the infant hercules was unusually strong and fearless , however , and he strangled the snakes before they could strangle him .
