Spawn voice actor Keith David reveals he'd like to make his way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the voice of character Beta Ray Bill. The Korbinite character first made his debut in the Marvel Comics with 1983's The Mighty Thor No. 337 as one of the last of his alien race who was designed to protect the near-extinct species in their quest to find a new galactic home after their galaxy is wiped out by the fire demon Surtur. Beta Ray Bill is initially introduced as a potential antagonist for Thor before his tragic backstory is quickly revealed and he is shown to be worthy enough to wield Mjolnir after defeating the Norse god on their initial meeting.
Odin initially orders a battle to the death between Thor and Beta Ray Bill in order to decide who would be the one to wield Mjolnir, with the latter narrowly winning though believing the former to be too worthy of an opponent to die. Odin would subsequently order a new hammer made for Beta Ray Bill with Stormbreaker from the same metal and dwarfs that created Mjolnir while removing the enchantment from the latter that would allow Thor to turn in to his human form of Donald Blake. Thor and Beta Ray Bill would go on to fight side by side with the Norse god in his various adventures, namely against Surtur, up until the former's demise when he brings about Ragnarök.
