After a brief appearance on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings the post-credits scene, Mark Rouffalo's Hulk made a triumphant return in She-Hulk Attorney at Law. The premiere episode of the show had plenty of film time with the Marvel character Green Goliath as he helped Tatiana Maslany's Jennifer Walters navigate her new abilities.
While he was only a minor character in the second episode the appearance of the character hinted at the possibility of a bright new future of Hulk in the upcoming Phase 5. This means it is likely that Smart Hulk is poised to play a bigger role in the coming MCU projects, including the coming two Avengers films.
Then, Ruffalo has addressed what's coming next to the MCU persona following his notable appearance in the origin story of his cousin's father.
Do you think Mark Ruffalo Retire From the Hulk?
Interview in an interview with Variety, Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo spoke about the actor's MCU potential as an gruesome green Avenger.
In Phase 4 in Phase 4, the majority of the six original Avengers have been removed from the scope within the MCU. In addition to Smart Hulk, Chris Hemsworth's Thor and Hawkeye by Jeremy Renner Hawkeye remain the sole two that remain.
If asked when he'll officially taking a break of acting in the Hulk part, Ruffalo admitted that he isn't sure, noting that the actor is "always shocked" to be involved in the MCU:
"I don't know! I'm always amazed to know to find myself here. It's true that me as well as Ed Norton joke that the Hulk is similar to our generation's Hamlet We're all getting an opportunity to play it. I'm always waiting for the next installment of the Hulk."
The Marvel veteran then revealed that he'll continue perform the role in the event that "people are fascinated" and if he's able to continue to bring "something that's intriguing" to his fans. Ruffalo utilized comics to illustrate his point, noting that there exist "grizzled old version" that the character the MCU could draw in its inspiration
"I think I'll be able to do that so long as they're willing to have me, as long as people are interestedand I'm able to add something fascinating to me and also interesting to people who are fans. I'm not sure. I mean when you read comics, you'll see an old, grizzled versions of the Hulk. I'm like, okay I'm 67 years old. Hulk could be intriguing If we all still making movies and a world that lets us perform that kind of work no longer. In the current world we're in and preparing for the future, it feels more uncertain than at any other point in moment in. Therefore, I'm not going to get over myself. However, I do hope that I'm in a position to accomplish it."
Ruffalo has made an MCU debut in the role of Bruce Banner in 2012's The Avengers and was instrumental in helping the Earth's Mightiest Heroes defeat Tom Hiddleston's Loki and the Chitauri. When asked about how has changed since then the actor spoke about his "long journey" noting the way his life has changed over the years, and the ways he incorporated diverse aspects of himself to the character he played:
"Oh I'm sorry It's been a long time since when. As I began at the beginning, in many ways, I thought of myself as young person. I've become more accomplished. I have kids who are now adults. The world is an entirely different place. Being a knockabout and growing into an adult in that period, and I've had the opportunity to fully look into all the various aspects that are Banner and Hulk through this. I've had the chance to play five different versions of both throughout the years and contribute a vital and meaningful aspect of me to all of these things. It's been a wonderful experience working with Marvel and I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to contribute on everything. "
The Adam Project and Shutter Island actor then compared the actual circumstances that he was in to Banner and said that it's "probably closing in" and that at time the hero's tale may "come in the end well."
"The second aspect is that Marvel's in a weird way, this type of modern mythology that accurately reflects the times we live in in a weird way. It's truly amazing and how naive they could be in a metaphorical sense, or even allegorically. It's been a wonderful space to express myself and grow. In the present, I'm at a phase, which is like I'm in the middle of my life as well as my career, which is likely slowing down in some way. I think the same scenario is happening to Banner. Banner is one of three remaining and it's likely eventually be over too."
In an earlier interview Thor actor Chris Hemsworth has also discussed His Marvel retirement, and said that he's not planning to go through the same thing in the near future:
"Are you crazy ?! I'm not entering any retirement phase (laughs). Thor is far too young to be retired. He's just one hundred years old! This is certainly not a movie that I will be able to say goodbye to. I would like to think so."
Will Hulk Get a Happy Ending In the MCU?
When Hulk's story comes to an end in the MCU and the MCU, we can suppose the actor Mark Ruffalo is at peace with the character's final swan song.
Every story of a Marvel hero has to come to an be concluded at some point and the process of giving Hulk the proper ending is a problem that the studio has to address in the near future. Due to the unbreakable nature of the Hulk that it is quite difficult to take him down without difficulty. the character. There are, however, different ways that the MCU could solve the Hulk's story.
She-Hulk Attorney at Law revealed a huge teaser that Hulk's son Skaar will soon be making his MCU debut and could be a crucial part of the hero's story. Hulk might end up sacrificing his life for humanity during the two upcoming Avengers films, and thus protecting his son.
Marvel Comics may also tease the ending of Hulk's story. Although Hulk's predecessor, the Green Goliath was killed several times as he re-emerged to become Bruce Banner, the story of the Hulk from the MCU Hulk may end in a different way like using a powerful villain such as Onslaught to kill him or putting together an explosive device to destroy him.
Another way that is poignant for Hulk Bruce Banner's chapters to come to an end is to draw inspiration from Hulk The End.
In this comic's tale in the comic, all human beings were dead, with the exception of Hulk. While Banner was killed more than once He was able to regenerate himself, and Hulk's powers allowed him to return. All that changed was when Hulk and Banner determined that they didn't need each and allowed the former to die.
This could serve as an appropriate conclusion for Banner because the MCU has previously revealed that the two characters usually conflict with one another.
