Avengers: Age of Ultron conquered the world. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes faced the wrath of the evil A.I. but had to survive each other first as Scarlet Witch turned hero against hero including an epic battle between the Hulk and Iron Man in his Hulkbuster Armor aka “Veronica.”
While fans of the Green Goliath may be yearning for a solo spinoff movie there are no official plans. What does Ruffalo say about Hulk’s place in the team and the future?
“I think why he works so well is because he is within the context of the Avengers. It’s hard to tell a story about a guy who doesn’t want to do the very thing that you want him to do, and you have two hours of that guy by himself trying not to do that. That’s just a tough nut to crack,” he told Comic Book Resources.
“But when you put that guy in a group of other people that are like him, that get him, that understand him, and you force him to be and to have to deal with those people in these different situations, then you get to see who that guy is. You get to see his charm, his personality, his sense of humor, what ticks him off, what he’s afraid of — all of these things, because we know people by how they interact with other people, in a lot of ways. So that was a stroke of genius. That’s a place where Banner really works well.
I think it does work well there, and I do think there’s a future. And I don’t think it’s one where it’s just Banner maybe by himself… I’m not sure. We did the origin story of Banner, unless we go way, way back — which we could do. I also think there’s some really cool, interesting terrain to explore between Banner and the Hulk, like really, and that struggle between the two of them, and the melding of the two of them. So like we get a little taste of it when Banner comes out of the Veronica battle, the Hulkbuster, and he wakes up in the rubble, and the Hulk, you almost see the Hulk has a little bit of Banner’s remorse, even before he turns into Banner. And where that seam is, there’s some interesting stuff in there that I think we could explore.”
Will we see Ruffalo with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. in Captain America: Civil War? In comics a Hulk rampage helps leads to the Superhero Registration Act, a move that triggers the bitter split between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark.
The Avengers will definitely need Hulk for the battle with Thanos in Avengers: The Infinity War.
