New Rumor Claims HULK VS. WOLVERINE Movie Is Being Saved for the Mutant Saga in the MCU

Over the years, a Hulk vs. Wolverine movie has been talked about among fans without much real substance or solid facts to back it.

But we are hearing more and more about this project over the last few months, and today there’s a new rumor from leaker @Cryptic4KQual has shared some additional insights into this long-awaited battle and what it could mean for both the Mutant Saga and the rumored Avengers vs. X-Men movie.

The source said:

"I'm told the next Hulk-oriented film most likely isn't going to be a [Hulk vs. Wolverine] film. Instead, Doomsday or Secret Wars will likely plant seeds for it, giving us a small round 1 fight and a full-on brawl later down the line.

“I was told there were talks about a [Hulk vs. Wolverine] film, but it's more likely to happen during the Mutant Saga if they 100% plan to make it. There would also be a deeper reasoning for the fight to take place. It wouldn't be a half-assed cash grab just for people to come watch a fight."

Finally, the scooper notes:

"This also ties into [Avengers vs. X-Men]. We're probably getting a tease for this in Doomsday or Secret Wars and very much later down the line, we'll get a full scaled [Avengers vs. X-Men] political type war. At least, that's what I'm hearing."

It sounds like the plan is for the Mutant Saga to build to a full-blown war between the Avengers and X-Men, an event movie which could quite easily rival Secret Wars.

While we still expect heroes from Earths-616 and 10005 to come to blows before the Multiverse Saga ends, it's a smart move to save this war for the next Phases of storytelling. 

Jackman would for sure be on board, and it sounds like it would be a good place to build to after this phase is finished.

Are you hoping to see this fight go down in the MCU’s future?
