Mark Ruffalo is returning to reprise the role of Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, in the feature, which comes 14 years after the actor joined the MCU in The Avengers. The move had been rumored for a while but only firmed up as the script came together and as production gears up for beginning this month in England.

Ruffalo is circling an appearance in the upcoming fourth “Spider-Man” film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, but it’s unclear if a deal has closed for him to reprise his role as Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Incredible Hulk.

The answer, unsurprisingly, was Mark Ruffalo, who—not having ever gotten a standalone Hulk movie of his own—has been pretty happy over the years to pop up in other heroes’ films and TV shows, including a 2022 appearance in She-Hulk.
