It depends on what they are going for but I don't see them branching out to Marvel or doing something to similar as then it's iffy. Like I couldn't imagine Once doing Frozen when Frozen 2 is about to hit theaters.

So, for the most part, people assume a twist on the brothers, but hardly anyone seems to think they'll keep any original alignments. To be fair, Marvel has adapted pretty much every culture's gods into characters. For example, Hercules has a Marvel counterpart as well as his Disney counterpart. Obviously Once's Hercules will be based off of mythology's Hercules and Disney's Hercules, but one could argue they're adapting Marvel's Hercules just as much as one could argue they're not, as Marvel's Hercules is far more faithful to the myths than Disney's (although just as anachronistic in the modern day stories) and there'd be no way to tell where the writers got inspiration from without asking them directly. So if Once decided to tackle the Norse mythology specifically, everyone would assume they're taking inspiration from the Marvel stories. Which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

And please, Hamlet is Shakespeare. I think the only play "by him" that doesn't end in everyone's death is "A Midsummer's Night Dream". Saying that's a spoiler is like saying every villain getting defeated at the end of their arc on this show is a spoiler.
