I actually wrote my own little Marvel screenplay that introduced the Olympian deities.
It was actually a 'solo' Hulk film I wrote, I called it 'The Immortal Hulk,'
The plot is basically that after the events of AOU, Banner is on the run and is hiding out in Greece. One day, while in Athens, he is accidentally hit by a car while crossing the street and it unleashes the Hulk and he starts to trash through Athens.
Up on Olympus the 'gods' are made aware of a situation brewing in Greece, so they check in on the situation and watch Hulk's rampage. Zeus forbids the Olympians from going to Earth to intervene (it's explained later that Zeus is bitter towards humanity. After the spread of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc etc, the worship of the Greek Gods was abandoned, so the Olympians withdrew back to Olympus, where they are still able to check in on the Earth via portal).
Anyway, Zeus tells the others the humans must fend for themselves, or get the Asgardians to do it for them. But Ares talks Hercules into returning to Earth to put a stop to Hulk and his rampage. Hercules falls for it and goes to Earth where he engages in battle with Hulk and manages to knock him out. Ares joins him and convinces him to bring 'the prisoner' to Olympus.
Long story short, Banner ends up on Olympus as a prisoner and takes place in a few 'coliseum battles' set up by Ares, with Hulk's final opponent being Zeus himselff. But Ares bringing Hulk to Olympus was actually to use Hulk to overthrow Zeus and then lead the armies of Olympus to seize control of Earth and set himself up as a god. (Turns out Ares had intentionally rammed the car into Banner to bring out the Hulk)
In the end, the plot is discovered by Banner and Hercules and the two (along with Artemis and Athena) fight back against Ares and his soldiers.
