I really hope the MCU doesn't try to do Beta Ray Bill
Honestly, at this point, they can't do him justice. He story is entwined with Thor and Asgard's so much that if the MCU tried to adapt Beta Ray Bill, he'd end up a different character.
In the three origin stories for him I've seen (comic, Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and The Super Hero Squad Show) he enters the story by kicking Thor's ass, before doing the impossible and being the first person (other than Thor) to lift Mjolnir. He then goes on to earn himself a new hammer (given by Odin in both the comic and Earth's Mightiest Heroes versions, and by Mjolnir is Super Hero Squad) named Stormbreaker, and become Thor's sworn brother.
Bill is also thoroughly connected to Marvel's version of Ragnarök. Surtur destroyed Korbin, Bill's homeworld, (except in The Super Hero Squad Show continuity) and Thor meets Bill on a ship full of Korbinite refugees who are in stasis. Later on, Bill fights alongside the Asgardians during Ragnarök, before Thor teleports him away, as he doesn't wish to see Bill die and believes Bill should be with his people.
In the current comics, Stormbreaker has been destroyed and Bill wields Surtur's sword, Twilight. However even if the MCU gave Bill this weapon, I don't think it will work, as most of Bill's character development and story, happed with or alongside Thor's. I wish we could have gotten the "Ballad of Beta Ray Bill" storyline in Thor: Ragnarök instead of the "Planet Hulk" lite stuff we did get.
Ironwood: Hmph... We're nothing but white blood cells, hunting the infection called crime. It's a sickness that sneaks in through the cracks, like brussels sprouts sneak onto a delicious plate of macaroni and cheese. Sure, the city looks safe, right? Just push all the brussels sprouts to one side, right?
Ironwood: WRONG! No matter where you put 'em, their vile vegetable juices corrupt the whole plate!
Ruby: ...What?
Nora: Oh...
Ironwood: I'm here to keep those stinking brussels sprouts off the mac 'n' cheese! Keep them from ever leaving the store in the first place!

List of Unlockable Costumes in Marvel Super Hero Squad & Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet
Why these lists exists? Because these games are poorly documented & I tried my best researching where these costumes originated from.
As for the unlock requirements for both games, to unlock the remaining costumes for 13 characters in MSHS, you just play 10 Battle Mode matches (winning & rules don't matter) for each character to unlock them, while in MSHS: TIG, you just simply complete a character's specific Heroic Feat to unlock them.
If someone managed to professionally ripped the models from all Super Hero Squad games, let me know.
If I see a former employee from either development teams, I want to know about the unused content & the development history for these games.

This AU is based off of the Super Hero Squad show. From what I remember, and rewatched, frost giants are mentioned and in the show, but as literal giants of ice. The word or name “jotun” never seemed to come up. Not only that, but there’s a bit of context that hints that the frost giants and Asgardians were rather friendly with each other before “Oh, Brother!”. I know that they’re typically the same thing, but that got me thinking.
Yeah, it’s possible that I’m just overthinking things and this is stupid and the frost giants are just called that so there was no need for the word “jotun” to even be made let alone used, but what if that was simply not the reason why? What if it’s because Jotuns were a separate race and not the frost giants in the show? But if that’s the case, why wasn’t it ever revealed that Loki was a jotun? Maybe it’s because they’re extinct. Maybe no one ever knew they existed at all.
Or maybe... Just maybe... the frost giants in the show served the jotuns, keeping them secret from the world at their request, but something happened. Or rather someone. That someone attacked the jotuns. But they somehow missed one. A very young child. The damage would’ve resulted in the frost giants unable to give the only surviving jotun the proper care needed, so they’d turn to the Asgardians and ask for help, placing a spell over him to make him look like one of them. The king and queen, despite already having a child, would take in the orphaned boy despite not being told where exactly he came from. Only that they’d found him wandering in the snow crying.
That boy would be raised by them alongside their biological son. He’d grow up to see the frost giants during meetings and would eventually learn what he is, where he came from, but never said a word to his parents because they never did either. When he started visiting the frost giants on his own, the spell would wear off and he’d use it again himself when he returned. He’d grow to appreciate magic. He’d grow his abilities beyond his family’s knowledge. He’d meet a doctor on a similar power level as him. He’d have one name, and three titles that go with it.
Loki, the god of mischief
Loki, the god of stories
Loki, the last jotun
Listen, Super Hero Squad hardly gave Loki any depth, so I do what I want!
