Though we got two standalone Hulk films with Eric Bana and Edward Norton, the latter even taking place within the MCU, Marvel has made it pretty clear they have no plans to do another standalone Hulk film.
Mark Ruffalo, who has played the role since “The Avengers” in 2012, has appeared in multiple other movies in the part but never has really had the chance to headline his own film.
He explained last year that Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige had told him: “We’ll never give you a standalone Hulk… Don’t mean to burst your bubble, but that’s just not going to [happen].”
Ruffalo is expected to appear in next summer’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” as the character once again, and sadly it sounds like Marvel is sticking to its no solo “Hulk” movie approach. The actor tells GQ that whatever the case, he wants to do one:
“I’d love to have a solo Hulk movie. I don’t know if you know the story of that, but it’s not really owned by Marvel; it’s a Universal property. I don’t know if it’ll ever really come to be, honestly. We keep talking about it, what it would be. There’s been so many Hulk movies already, it’s like, does anyone really want another one? But I’d love one, and I do think the audiences would be into it if we could crack the nut of it.”
The “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” finale introduced Hulk’s son Skaar but hasn’t really gone any further with that since. Ruffalo hasn’t been confirmed for either “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars” yet, though is expected to appear in the latter.
