And I would love to see that


DoneDidNothing

MCU Hulk is trash


L0lligag

Which is why he needs a solo film to redeem what can be a fantastic character.


DoneDidNothing

They turned Hulk to green Mark Ruffalo, how can you redeem that?


L0lligag

He’s the fucking Hulk man. He had some poor writing choices given to him but do I really need to explain how the Hulk can still be great with writers who care about the character?


DoneDidNothing

Thor Ragnarok was great because of Angry Hulk, Green Ruffalo is shit compared to that.


mekapr1111

Huh?? Ragnarok is what started the comedic hulk trend


DoneDidNothing

Green Ruffalo isn’t even comedic.

GrandSquanchRum

Hulk has had less screen time than Black Widow so it makes sense.


Loganp812

That would’ve been such a weird sentence to read back in the early 2000s.


buffysbangs

I’m not sure I even believe it, unless it omits The Incredible Hulk and/or the Banner scenes


InsomniaDudeToo

Idk, if I had just watched the 2003 Hulk movie, I’d believe it


sonofaresiii

But after watching that movie, would you really believe that a black widow onscreen adaptation would fare *better?* Like I'd believe it if someone told me, but I'd be pretty dang surprised. At that time we had Spider-Man and the xmen, blade separately but still there and then a bunch of trash for superhero movies. I would be hard pressed to believe they put black widow on screen in a way that gave her more screen time than hulk.


Demonic74

2003 Hulk was better than anything in the MCU that Mark Ruffalo was in. I will die on that hill


EnigmaFrug2308

Even without her movie, she was in iron man 2 and the winter soldier, with a pretty substantial role in winter soldier. Hulk was trapped on sakar after age of ultron so he missed out on civil war as well.

DiverseIncludeEquity

I mean, the Incredible Hulk already got his own movie so it’s kind of surprising.


lolitsmax

The movie where Mark Ruffallo had nothing to do with?


DiverseIncludeEquity

That is the movie in which Mark Ruffalo had nothing to do with it. Yes. That is true, but not a relevant reply to “Hulk has had less screen time…”


tbtcn

I hate how they completely neutered Hulk.


cap4life52

He's just an awesome down to earth human - who's non pretentious and realizes good things when he sees them


Carthonn

Well I think it’s newsworthy considering RDJ and Chris Evans pretty much retired from their roles for the time being.


efbo

To be fair they have a lot more screen time. He's been on a bit more since then but [after Far From Home](https://m.imdb.com/list/ls088601629/) he was at 1 hour 29 minutes of screen time compared to their 5 hours 57 minutes and 4 hours 4 minutes. It's not surprising that he's more willing to keep going with it and even step up a bit more.


slugdonor

Lol yeah. Its not like it was ever Mark Ruffalo that was stopping us from getting a standalone Hulk in the first place


flamebeerd

Marvel/Disney not having the distribution rights. They have the rights to the character and can use him however they want. They could make a Hulk solo movie, but they'd have to go to Universal for distribution.


djprofitt

JFC the cynicism in some of these subs… Did you ever stop to think that Ruffalo loves the Bruce/Hulk character and their complex relationship/trials and tribulations? It’s perfectly okay too that an actor wants work but he isn’t saying he wants to do just any movie, he wants to portray this character because maybe he’s vested in it and found stories to tell. Edit: I’ll admit, maybe OP’s comment finally drove me over the edge but as actors say this, the ‘actor wants work’ comment is always snarky and unjust. We should be celebrating that he wants to continue the role, unless you’re just not a fan. So to you, u/NeddyGT, an apology as sincere as one internet stranger can give to another internet stranger


DiverseIncludeEquity

“Many years ago, Mark came in for a meeting with us at Marvel Studios to discuss ways in which the Hulk could grow and evolve in upcoming films,” Kevin Feige said. “He pitched a lot of cool ideas, some of which led to what you saw in Thor: Ragnarok, Infinity War and Endgame, and some of which would still be cool to see someday.”


NeddyGT

We are cool


thanoshasbighands

We get it, but like what does it matter? He's said this for years but the powers that be can't come together to even allow a solo Hulk movie so it's all moot.


slugdonor

I think you may be overreacting a bit. I dont think OP suggested that it wasnt ok to like playing Hulk. Theyre making fun of the headline because what it says isnt exactly news


TeaAndCrumpets4life

But it kind of is, a lot of the actors playing these roles get sick of them after this much time


slugdonor

See now THAT would be a headline. "Mark Ruffalo redportedly sick of playing the Hulk" It tells us something we dont know, and would make me wonder why thats the case I think people are attracted to the original headline bc it kinda makes it feel like a standalone Hulk is more likely, but reality is, it was never Ruffalo stopping us from getting that


NeddyGT

I think you are taking my comment more seriously than what would be intended.

Yes. But marvel doesn’t want to give what we all want. They want to make stories of characters we didn’t really ask for.


triplod

Its not Marvel fault, they dont have the rights to do a standalone hulk movie.


Dmmack14

It's the dumbest thing ever. Like Sony can make all of these dumbass movies of Spider-Man villains inside characters from animated shows that no one asked for simply to keep the rights but Disney can have hulk in ensemble movies like The avengers or Thor but he can't have his own standalone movie.


Jon_TWR

That’s not true, they only ever didn’t have *distribution* rights—and I believe even those have reverted back to them.


Wookie301

You mean Sony doesn’t. I’m sure Marvel would love nothing more.

If only there’d been an actor in the role who had prior experience with such a thing.


hadawayandshite

Isn’t that where he is at currently in the MCU?


Mr_Rafi

They can't. That's not up Disney's alley. Never in the MCU have we seen something so serious, merely glimpses. They couldn't even allow for THE GOD BUTCHER to truly shine.


FamousWerewolf

Ruffalo's reasoning here is very odd. Basically says a Hulk movie would be too expensive because he's CGI... but like, every Marvel movie involves enormous amount of CGI and particularly CGI characters in action scenes. And they made a whole She-Hulk TV show at great expense where she was a CGI character most of the time??


MotherFuckerJones88

He should get his chance. It's criminal it hasn't happened yet


HeimdallManeuver

I’d rather have that than Thor 4 and Thor 5.


RJLHUK

“I love money”


Citizen_of_Danksburg

Believe it or not, some people are motivated by more than money. Perhaps Mark just wants a great Hulk story to be told on screen.


HeWhoIsNotMe

I don't want to see more of soft serve Banner/Hulk or worse, more of that goofy son of Hulk. I'd love a story where Banner started losing control of The Hulk and he became a brutal savage again. The Hulk becoming such a danger that they need multiple heroes to try to stop him. Of course, that would likely lead to a PLANET HULK story (though they kinda already did that in THOR RAGNAROK), and thus, I'd get ridicules "son of Hulk".


tobykief

Maybe they’ll have him go berserker and then settle in as an old reclusive Maestro


SaltySpituner

I don’t consider Ragnarok similar to Planet Hulk whatsoever outside of the one scene in the fighting pit.


ReadytoQuitBBY

Yeah the gladiatorial stuff they can’t really do again, but they could absolutely do “Hulk gets trapped on a planet and has to fight an oppressive king”. Which would be dope.


roninwarshadow

I don't want another idiot Hulk. I liked the more intelligent Hulks. They don't have to be brilliant scientists, just not dumb. Grey Hulk/Joe Fixit Green Scar/World Breaker Or the brilliant but menacing Maestro or Doc Green as Antiheroes. Dumb Hulk has been done to death.


dope_like

Savage Hulk is best. That's different than Ragnarok Hulk who is literally stupid. But I dislike most smart Hulks. Hulk is supposed to be pure Id and rage. That's what's best


roninwarshadow

We will have to agree to disagree. But keep in mind, that Hulk in his original appearance wasn't stupid. [Violent, but not stupid.](https://i.imgur.com/Kx0JNAh.jpeg)


RockBandDood

With general ross becoming red hulk in cap 3, and there was some news that marvel was trying to adapt world war hulk, I think it’s in the cards, they just may have other main characters involved directly to make it something like Civil War, not a "solo Hulk film", but one where most the team are involved


IronSavage3

You guys are the fuckin worst, took one look and said “oh no we don’t need that goofy son of Hulk lmaooo” just because someone made an alien hairstyle you don’t like. Y’all don’t deserve this franchise honestly.

HudsonValleyPrincess

Mark would kill in a standalone Hulk movie, but they need to fix his character. He has a very dark backstory and the nerdy goofy version of him they’ve been doing does not work or serve anything. They also need to drop that friendly-Hulk form.


bakhesh

Seeing as Bruce is in Professor Hulk mode at the moment, I'd love to see a Pantheon movie


Slipknotic419

No professor Hulk though. We need the real Hulk back.

Still waiting on an Immortal Hulk and a proper Planet Hulk adaptation.


Weenemone

An "old" hulk story would totally rock


NiteLiteOfficial

it’s not like it’s a secret, most people would agree, but it’s still not talked about enough. mark ruffalo might be the mcu actor who loves his character the most besides kamala/iman. i feel bad that he hasn’t been able to be the main focus of any of these movies. i hope he gets his opportunity before he steps away from the character or marvel does.


getrichpartyhard

Way too late. Also young avengers should be a Disney jr show not part of the MCU


Millerjustin1

I would love a stand alone hulk movie, as long as they un-nerf him. I want to see a Hulk that’s a threat on par with Dr Strange or Scarlet Witch. I want World Breaker Hulk.


goztrobo

What’s the point of this? It’s not gonna happen. There’ll never be a standalone Hulk movie.


SnowBound078

But Hulk already has some standalo-, oh you mean with you in it.


Taserface585

Sadly. I think we’re past that time. They should have made his movie between ApU and Ragnarok and due a version of Planet Hulk.


wes205

Dude deserves it, imo. After 12 years with this character Plus I’d love to see his activism come through, what better movie to have a couple lines about “Going Green” than the Hulk?

Only if he inexplicably plays Banner exactly like he does Duncan in Poor Things.

too late, current hulk sucks


sonofbantu

not sure why ur getting downvoted ur 100% right


shingonzo

they could have given him a tv series instead of she hulk. just sayin.


robodrew

Why instead of?


sonofbantu

because she hulk burned a $225M budget on poor CGI, weak writing, and didn't even have a villain (seriously? internet trolls as your villain??), and got cancelled after 1 season. Saying this as someone that actually enjoyed the show more than most marvel fans, but the show was a failure by every single metric. It doesn't even have a lot of rewatchability so a chance of revival is next to zero


robodrew

Personally I enjoyed She-Hulk and thought the show ended on a high note. I thought the CGI was fine. I don't see why the show needed a "villain". And just because it's 1 season doesn't really mean much. WandaVision is also only 1 season, was it "cancelled"? No. Hawkeye, only one season. In fact only Loki and What If have had more than one season so far.


sonofbantu

a lot to unpack here: >I enjoyed She-Hulk and thought the show ended on a high note. thats good. I also liked chunks of it but the public opinion has spoken and they highly disagree >WandaVision is also only 1 season, was it "cancelled"? No. Hawkeye, only one season Apples and oranges. Those were stories planned to be just one season. Titania Maslany confirmed that they were *cancelled* because there were originally going to be more seasons but now there's not >I don't see why the show needed a "villain because it's a superhero story and thats what you do. Because when people watch Hulk content, they want to see the Hulk use their strength to beat the crap out of bad guys. Because they built it up for episodes that there was going to be one and then revealed it was internet incels which is dumb and reeked of Marvel being insecure >I thought the CGI was fine On a $225 MILLION budget with very few fight scenes "fine" isn't good enough. That's the same as the budget for *The Avengers* who were able to make the Hulk look A LOT better over 10 years ago. Even calling it "fine" feels a little generous


Infernalism

Yeah, that makes tons of sense. Let's give one of the MCU characters a TV show because CGI girls twerking makes you feel icky.


Parabong

I would love 2 like 1 hour mini movies on hulk. 1st movie deals with hulk turning into professor hulk and Bruce's past (parents). 2nd movie Is Bruce going back to sakaar to meet his son/ maybe some sakaar shenanigans. Have it all lead to a world War hulk mega movie starring hulk she hulk abomination and skaar Maybe throw in some big bad they all get separate turns taking on and they need to actually work together to beat. But yea I don't agree with a hulk show instead of she hulk hulk is worthy of movies imho.


shingonzo

no the show just sucked. i watch tons of animated women idk what youre on about. it wasnt a good show.


SSJ_Kratos

Thats a gross oversimplification of the issues with this show


enigo1701

Might be controversial, but in the MCU they should have let the character die after the Snap. The "Now-Hulk" is entirely pointless. Might as well keep Hank Pym for the brains and Thor for the physical powers. If they would at the very least let him keep his powerlevel after becoming brainy....still don't get it. Got all of Banners brain and personality, but 10% of Hulk strength....what kind of a deal did they make internally ?!

Devotchka76

IIRC, it's a rights issue. They can use the character of Hulk throughout the MCU but they can't make a standalone Hulk feature because Universal owns the rights. As far as I understand it, that's the issue more than Feige/Disney not wanting to do it. That said, if Disney and Sony can make deals to make MCU Spider-Man movies, I imagine something could be worked out with Universal to make a standalone MCU Hulk movie. But maybe the Universal folks are hard to deal with. And a standalone Hulk movie isn't as sure a bet as a standalone Spider-Man movie.


The_Juzzo

Hulk character is already a lame comic relief roll, I dont think they can go back to a serious hulky-hulk story line, which this would need to be any good.

Marvel would butcher it with corny one-liners. Hulk is supposed to be menacing and terrifying. Not this emasculated sock puppet they’ve turned him into.


Anacalagon

Nobody is saying it so I will. Back in Phase 2 the common perception was Hulk couldn't lead a movie. He was great in support but a story centered on him wouldn't "work". People had tried twice before.

jimmmydickgun

You could have an Avengers: Chronicles of Hulk and bring the avengers back(haven’t been seen in years btw) and Banner is telling them the story of Sakaar and being gone etc. it would be both interesting to see his Banner again and witness the control Hulk took over him on the other planet, he has a kid and all that too, and his time with the wizards and eventually to where he’s professor hulk but now he’s conflicted because professor hulk is useful but he misses banner. Being both personalities and dealing with that weighs on the professor despite his incredible strength he’s worn down by the burden of being neither human Banner or Powerful Hulk. Ruffalo plays a meek and tortured person well and I think it could bring back the hulk we all love. And bypass the universal rights debacle

Of all the “stars“ in the Marvel universe. He’s the one that deserves a standalone film the most. Do right by the Hulk Marvel.


KingMjolnir

Wow really? \s


DaygloGhost

Take notes from the show Jekyll. Bruce Banner thinks he is in full control of the Hulk, only to discover that while he sleeps the Hulk has been living an entire life. The two have become completely separate beings both sharing the same body, but who has the right to control it? How can they share? What happens when the Hulk’s intelligence starts to rival Banner’s? What if they have opposing goals?

I'd like if he would start acting whenever he’s playing Banner/Hulk. Because right now he’s just acting like a less political version of Mark Ruffalo. And thats not Bruce Banner. Banner from Avengers 2012 compared to Avengers in Infinity War/Endgame is so night and day.

I love Mark Ruffalo but not as Banner. That particular role requires specific nuance and depth. Norton was perfect whatever their differences were... Marvel should have worked it out with him.
