Let's talk about Stormbreaker. It's got quite a history in the comics.。
The origins of Stormbreaker extend all the way back to the 1980s. To understand the series of events that brought it into being, however, we first need to talk about a major character from the cosmic side of Marvel Comics: Beta Ray Bill. 。
During a mid-'80s run of Thor comics, the Asgardian god of thunder flew off into space to investigate an alien fleet passing close to Earth. His approach sets off a process that revives the fleet's defender, Beta Ray Bill, from stasis.。
During their fight, Bill separates Thor from his mystical hammer, Mjolnir, long enough for the Asgardian to revert to his human form, Donald Blake (it's a comics thing). With Blake unconscious, Bill picks up the hammer -- something most beings can't do, unless they're "worthy" -- and gains Thor's outfit and powers. 。

But there's more! Bill was at one point pegged for a physical cameo appearance in the movie as well. The decision was ultimately made to leave him out, as Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed in an interview. Here's what he said exactly:。 "There was a Beta Ray Bill [in。"There was a Beta Ray Bill [in 。

And the feeling is, if you can’t do it justice, do it later."。The important takeaway here is simple: Bill is on the MCU radar. We haven't met him yet, but it seems possible that we will. Stormbreaker is a positive sign in that regard. So is the MCU's imminent introduction of the Skrulls in 。
