Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk will smash again in the MCU.
At least that’s the word coming from the folks at The Illuminerdi, as the site is claiming that “sources” close to Disney+ and Marvel’s upcoming She-Hulk series have provided “definitive” proof that Ruffalo is officially on board to reprise his role as Bruce Banner on the small screen. A kick-ass, new hero and a returning fan favorite?
It should be noted, of course, that the site does not provide said proof for the masses to see, nor do they actually say what that proof is; one would have to imagine they’ve seen Ruffalo’s signature on an actual contract for it to count as “definitive.” Either way, it still might be wise for MCU enthusiasts to temper their excitement about Hulk’s return until Team Marvel makes their own announcement.
That news would hardly come a shock, though, as it’s been widely rumored in recent weeks that Ruffalo’s big green guy would indeed be joining the anxiously-anticipated She-Hulk series. ScreenRant reports that Ruffalo himself even recently confirmed that he was in talks with Marvel and Disney to reprise his role as Banner-slash-Hulk for the Disney+ series. Seems those talks might have been a bit further along than Ruffalo was letting on, as The Illuminerdi is now reporting the actor’s deal was likely already in place when he made those comments.
There’s still no confirmation as to how many episodes of She-Hulk Ruffalo might appear in, or if his new deal with Marvel might include another big screen turn in the future, but whatever the case, we’re just psyched to see Ruffalo’s Hulk on screen again in any capacity.
If you recall, Mark Ruffalo took over the role of Hulk after the folks at Marvel famously parted ways with O.G. MCU Hulk Edward Norton. Making his first appearance in 2012’s The Avengers, Ruffalo immediately made the role his own.
He continued to play Bruce Banner and Hulk in four subsequent MCU flicks, not including uncredited cameo appearances. Marvel’s brass are clearly fans, and have now reportedly ensured that no other actor will play Hulk for the foreseeable future. Keep watching the video to see that this Avenger is reportedly making a return in She-Hulk!
When did the Hulk first appear in comic books and what is his origin story?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been a beacon of entertainment for many years, drawing in audiences worldwide with its stunning visuals, gripping storylines, and beloved characters. One character that has stood tall over the years is the Hulk, a superhero who first appeared in “The Incredible Hulk” comic book in 1962. There have been several superheroes who have taken on the mantle of the Hulk over the years, and now, it seems that the latest generation will get to see the Hulk return to the big screen.
According to recent reports, the Hulk is set to make a comeback in the upcoming Disney+ series “She-Hulk,” starring Tatiana Maslany in the titular role. The news has sent waves of excitement through the Marvel fandom, and with good reason. The Hulk is one of the most popular and recognizable characters in the MCU, and his return promises to be an event that fans won’t want to miss.
The Hulk is a complex character with a rich history, and his many appearances in the MCU have only served to deepen his legend. For those unfamiliar with the character, the Hulk is a powerful superhero with incredible strength and durability, the result of exposure to gamma radiation. The character’s alter ego is Dr. Bruce Banner, a brilliant scientist who struggles to control the monster within him. This internal battle has been a focal point of many Hulk storylines, and it’s likely to play a prominent role in his return in “She-Hulk.”
The Hulk has been absent from the MCU since his appearance in “Avengers: Endgame,” where he was seen in his new form as Professor Hulk. The character had evolved, coming to terms with the duality of his nature and finding a way to coexist with his alter ego. However, this new version of the Hulk has yet to appear in any subsequent movies or shows in the MCU, leaving fans wondering when they would get to see the character again.
“She-Hulk” promises to be the perfect platform for the Hulk’s return, as the show will explore the relationship between Bruce Banner and his cousin Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk). Jennifer receives a blood transfusion from Bruce, which gives her similar powers to the Hulk, while still retaining her intelligence and personality. This sets up an interesting dynamic where she can use her powers for good, while still maintaining her identity. The Hulk’s appearance in the show is sure to provide some much-needed insight into his struggle with his own identity, and how he can help Jennifer navigate her own journey.
In conclusion, the Hulk’s return in “She-Hulk” is sure to be a significant moment for fans of the character and the MCU as a whole. The storyline promises to delve deeper into the character’s complex psyche, and explore his relationship with his cousin Jennifer. The show is set to be an exciting addition to the MCU, and fans can’t wait to see what the future has in store for the incredible Hulk.
