Overview
- In a new GQ interview, Ruffalo said a Hulk-led film is unlikely and questioned whether audiences want another solo outing, even as he expressed interest in making one.
- He pointed to Universal’s hold on distribution rights stemming from 2008’s The Incredible Hulk as the complication for any future solo release by Marvel Studios.
- Ruffalo recounted that Kevin Feige opted to map Bruce Banner’s development across multiple MCU projects instead of greenlighting a standalone film.
- The 2003 and 2008 Hulk movies received mixed responses and underperformed at the box office, a track record that contributes to studio hesitation.
- Ruffalo’s next MCU appearance is expected in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is scheduled for theatrical release on July 31, 2026.
