Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner/The Hulk and Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk are rumored to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios appears to have interesting plans for both characters.
In a recent Q&A on The Cosmic Circus, Alex Perez said he’s “pretty sure” we’ll see a solo ‘Hulk’ movie soon, and then dropped a hint that the Green Giant could be the Gray Giant in his next MCU appearance.
In the comics, Joe Fixit was an alias Grey Hulk used when working as a problem-solving mobster for the Mafia in Las Vegas. When the sun rose, Fixit transformed back into Bruce Banner, who was ashamed of this version of the Hulk’s darker personality.
Previous rumors have suggested that the evil Maestro could also appear at some point, but Perez is unsure if the alternate future version of the Hulk will be introduced.
There’s a decent chance the Hulk movie will be either ‘World War Hulks’ or ‘Hulk Vs. Wolverine,’ though these projects have yet to be officially announced.
As for ‘She-Hulk,’ Perez says she will return but didn’t mention when or where.
Here’s what Ruffalo said in February about a possible solo ‘Hulk’ movie:
“Kevin [Feige] was like, ‘What would you like to do?’ And he said, ‘What would you do if you had a standalone ‘Hulk’ movie?’ I said, ‘Well, I’d like to take him from this raging maniac to kind of this integrated character.’ And he’s like, ‘Okay. We’ll do that over the course of four movies. We’ll never give you a standalone Hulk… Don’t mean to burst your bubble, but that’s just not going to [happen]… So, we’ll do it over four movies, how does that sound?'”
When asked if this was still “true,” the actor responded, “As far as I know,” before adding, “I can talk more about it, but I’ve been told not to.”
‘She-Hulk’ was a very controversial production, and in general, many fans seem uninterested in its return. Some fans didn’t like ‘She-Hulk’ because they felt it focused too much on ‘woke’ themes. They said Jennifer Walters didn’t struggle with her powers. They also felt she was written as too confident and narcissistic. Many didn’t like how male characters were shown, especially in the humor, which felt repetitive and unfunny.
