Personally, I think Marvel is better off including the Hulk as a co-star in its films, whether it's the Avengers or Guardians or the Inhumans, etc.

I think they'll re-cast before they do another stand alone.

Did you notice Danny Elfman has a score credit on Age of Ultron?

I wonder what he contributed?

The part where Thomas the Train derails....



Yeah, I LOL'd

Agreed. If they do a Planet Hulk/WWH they can ship him off during/after Infinity Gauntlet when his 4 picture contract will likely be up.

No Hulk for a few movies, build demand, then tell the story.

I want a Hulk movie more than anyone but you have to do it right. 4-6 years of wait time from today might be the perfect window...

Mark Ruffalo Says There Have Been ‘Talks’ of a ‘Planet Hulk’ Movie

Ruffalo spoke to IGN (along with Scarlett Johansson, who was there for the ride), and asked about the further adventures of Hulk. The actor admits there has been “some talk” of Planet Hulk, the first pseudo-confirmation of any kind. Now, before we present the quote, we should note that it may offer up some major spoilers for Avengers 2.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Mark Ruffalo: “I think there’s a lot of places to go with [Hulk].”
Scarlett Johansson: “Like where?”
IGN: “Space?”
Ruffalo: “Well he’s going to space. Yeah, I mean there’s some talk of maybe Planet Hulk.”
IGN: “Would you like to see that?”
Ruffalo: “I’d be completely interested in entertaining that.”

Before you start adding Planet Hulk to your Marvel release date calendar, Ruffalo said that he personally wasn't involved in any active talks to star in the project and that, as we know, it's not part of Marvel's announced slate of films. But, would that even matter? One of the many rumors was that Hulk would somehow find his way into another one of Marvel's already announced films, not unlike how Iron Man is in Captain America: Civil War. Specifically that Guardians of the Galaxy 2 would essentially be a Planet Hulk movie.

James Gunn has unequivocally said that rumor is “100% bulls---” when asked in the past, and that “there was never plan for the Hulk to team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy – I wouldn't want the Hulk to team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy!” So, you can scratch that theory.

Now, back to whether or not Ruffalo just gave away the Avengers 2 ending. Having seen Avengers 2 we can say...maybe?

The Hulk is definitely not with the team at the end of the film, and has ventured off somewhere by himself. But, he is not “shot off into space” nor is it ever really confirmed that he’s headed to space. He just knows he needs to protect the word from himself. It’s left ambiguous as to where that place is. It could be outer space, or it could be a remote island somewhere.

There’s probably enough for the Planet Hulk truthers to think that it's definitely happening and there’s probably enough for the Planet Hulk deniers to think that it's definitely not happening. Ruffalo’s comments are interesting because he's either speculating, or has some legitimate inside knowledge as to Hulk's final destination. (One thing is clear: if Hulk does wind up in space, his intellect has certainly grown, because he's piloting his own ship (literally and figuratively). If the big, green monster can find his way into outer space, he's clearly grown beyond HULK SMASH.)

If we had to guess, the only reason Hulk is gone is to explain his disappearance between Age of Ultron and when he eventually returns in Infinity War. So, yes Hulk is probably off in space somewhere, but the Planet Hulk storyline is also just as likely taking place off-screen in a universe we will never see. (Also, if Marvel is really being clever, in the comic books, Hulk wasn't around for the Civil War storyline, because he was in space, Planet Hulk-ing out.)

Marvel can do what they want. The demand was there for Spiderman and they reworked their schedule.

The demand (besides just me) for a Planet Hulk has to be there first...

Planet Hulk doesn't excite me. I just don't like Hulk that much. He's fine in small doses. But watching all powerful beings beat the shit out of each other is a little bit boring.

I really like Ruffalo as Hulk because he possess such an "Every Man" quality that's different than a guy like Tom Hanks, who's kind of goofy.

That said, I agree. I like seeing him as a complimentary character because he can really add to a scene. I thought the end of Iron Man 3 was brilliant.

You'd have to read it. I won't bore you with much other than to say when the Hulk lands on that planet he's not all powerful. A normal sword can cut him...

Is he a kook about fracking there?

while I am a fan of his work, I was disappointed when I first found out Ruffalo was gonna be the Hulk. something about him, to me, just didn't seem right for the part.
I was wrong. he's frigging great. he is Bruce Banner.

I haven't read the comic but I've seen the animated movie DC put out recently. Didn't like it.

Yup. Hulk is best in small doses, which is why he works in Avengers so well. The Norton movie wasn't bad, but there's something about Hulk that can't hold an audience's attention for a whole movie.

Just so I'm sure I have my facts straight, in the 70s and 80s on Network TV, Kung Fu, The Incredible Hulk and Highway to Heaven were the exact same show, right?

Basically a bunch of Network Execs doing coke and saying 'Billy Jack should be a SERIES!!'

Which were all just a re-working of "The Fugitive" format.
