Thor: Love and Thunder had many mythological gods present. However, it turns out Marvel Studios almost added the Devil himself in the movie.

Love and Thunder explored the realm of the gods as Thor and company sought help in fighting off the film's villain, Gorr the God Butcher. The mythological gods featured in the movie include the Roman Goddess Minerva, the Kronan god Ninny of the Nonny, the Wakandan deity Bast, and the Greek God Zeus played by Russell Crowe.

Early concept art shared after Thor 4 was released revealed that Marvel had plans to have Satan appear in the movie. The character development went beyond just concept art with prosthetics and makeup also being created for Satan.

The Australian prosthetic and creature design company Odd Studio shared some photos of their work with Satan on their Instagram account. Septimus Caton played the part of Satan in the early makeup tests for Thor: Love and Thunder.
