The Hulk is Rumored To Be Involved With THOR: RAGNAROK
For those of you who were hoping to see Mark Ruffalo's Hulk leave Earth and head out into the wild frontier of space, you'll love this latest news! The last time that we saw Bruce Banner, he was flying in a Quinjet, which apparently crashed in the ocean. We had no idea where the Hulk is now or where he would show up next in the MCU...until now.
According to JoBlo, a reliable source for big scoops like this, the next time we see the Hulk will be in Thor: Ragnarok. According to the inside sources, the film will see "Chris Hemsworth’s Thor team up with none other than Mark Ruffalo’s HULK for the Odinson's third solo film, which finds the God of Thunder facing what amounts to the Norse Apocalypse. Only this time out he'll have some help from a fellow Avenger."
The site also confirms that Tom Hiddleston and Jaimie Alexander will be back to reprise their role of Loki and Sif. The site goes on to report that the story will involve a “distant planet” that is "not Asgard and not Earth." There's no solid information on what that exactly means, but it's easy to speculate that it could be connected to the Planet Hulk storyline, which has been rumored in the past. That's where I believe the MCU will eventually lead the Hulk.
There's no info on how much time Bruce Banner/Hulk will spend in the film, but the report says "he’s absolutely part of the supporting cast and will feature prominently." I think it makes a lot of sense for Hulk to be involved with Thor; they are a great match-up, and teaming them up for Thor: Ragnarok would be an awesome road to take...if this news actually turns out to be true.
Taika Waititi is set to direct Thor: Ragnarok and it's scheduled to be released in theaters on November 3rd, 2017. Are you excited about the possibility of seeing Hulk and Thor fighting alongside each other in this upcoming Marvel movie?
