Avengers star Mark Ruffalo is eager to speak with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige about the future of Bruce Banner AKA The Incredible Hulk in a post-Endgame world.
Mark Ruffalo appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote his new film Dark Waters. Naturally, given his association with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Colbert asked Mark Ruffalo about whether or not he knows he’ll play the Hulk again after we last saw him in Avengers: Endgame. With that in mind, he referenced Kevin Feige and a recent discussion he shared with him:
“I don’t know. I do know that I did give Kevin Feige the Blockbuster Award at the Hollywood Film Awards the other day to a smattering of applause. He did say, ‘Hey do you think there is any more story left here?’ And I said, ‘I can probably come up with a few storylines.’ And he said, ‘Well maybe you should come in and we’ll have a talk.'”
After he debuted in 2012’s The Avengers replacing Edward Norton following The Incredible Hulk, Mark Ruffalo immediately won over critics and fans for his portrayal as the green giant. After that film was released, fans were clamoring for a new Hulk movie starring Mark Ruffalo, but Universal Pictures still owns the rights to standalone Hulk movies which is why the character has only appeared in the other Avengers films as well as in his scene-stealing turn in Thor: Ragnarok alongside Chris Hemsworth.
As it appears, Marvel Studios has no plans for a standalone Hulk movie but given the character’s survival of the events of Avengers: Endgame, don’t be surprised if Kevin Feige announces Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk would return in the near future.
