Like fellowAvengersBlack Widow ( Scarlett Johansson ) and Hawkeye ( Jeremy Renner ) however , Banner / Hulk is reserved as a supporting character in other , larger moving picture . And where Widow and Hawkeye are generate next summer inCaptain America : Civil War , theHulk ’s next appearing comes the following class inThor : Ragnarok .
So far in the MCU we ’ve seen Banner and Hulk acting as two personality of one character , with theAvengersteam having found a way to calm the beast down using a " lullaby " and building countermeasure tocontain the Hulk should something go unseasonable . That ’s where the Veronica weapons chopine Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr. ) and Banner built before the events ofAvengers : Age of Ultroncame into play , a unit that gather and supports the"Hulkbuster " armor for Iron Manto wear .
But if you ask Ruffalo , he require to keep playing the graphic symbol until he becometwocharacters . Yes , Hulk and Bruce Banner , as two whole and physically freestanding beings . He toldHuffPostthe following when teasing his persona inThor : Ragnarok :
" I play Dr. Bruce Banner , and occasionally I turn into a braggy green , mean monster … I am excited to keep coming back to this role . I see a lot of space for it to raise . I feel like there ’s a lot of coolheaded hooey to explore still , especially the relationship between Banner and Hulk . Hopefully , we ’ll see the two of them in a aspect together . That would be cool ! "
Before you ask , yes , this is possible and has been done more than once in the funnies .

So , is that therefore a lead of something to come during the event ofThor : Ragnarok ? Will some god - like being or otherworldly magic help Banner liberate himself of his Hulk alter ego ?

We ’ve discuss at length on the sitehow characters like Captain America and Thor can continueeven without Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth , respectively , and with the musical theme that Hulk and Banner one day could be two separate beings , we can see a scenario where a futureAvengersroster includes a different Hulk entirely .

General " Thunderbolt " Ross ( William Hurt ) is returning after first appearing in 2008’sThe unbelievable Hulkfor next summer’sCaptain America : Civil War . In the books , Ross becomes the smarter , more military Red Hulk who also pass the modernThunderboltsteam ( one ofour Marvel Phase 4 ideas ) .

The particular effects squad puzzle out onAvengers : Age of Ultronactually designed agrey " berserker " Hulkfor use in that pic but opted not to use it as to not confuse devotee .
And there ’s She - Hulk , Skaar ( the son of Hulk ) and other Hulk - like character and version from the comics . A bunch of them teamed up and are feature inHulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.animated series on Disney XD so there ’s distinctly interest in these characters from Marvel ’s originative team .
At San Diego Comic - Con 2014,we speak with Ruffaloabout his part inAvengers : Age of Ultronwhile it was in production and he talk on the intragroup engagement of his eccentric , whether Banner can manage with what the Hulk has done .
“ Uhhh … if you ask Banner I palpate like he would state you ‘ no . ’ There ’s only so far that he could ever go before he feels like there ’s no come back and we might have crossed that threshold this time ( joke ) . ”
This explains theAvengers 2endingwhere Hulk blasts aside with the squad ’s Quinjet to hide himself in closing off . As far as Banner knows , he can not kill himself ( he adjudicate ) and there is no therapeutic so all he can do is hide . Perhaps it ’s this reality that represent intohow he leaves Earth and link up with Thoroff - world forRagnarok .

He gets funding from S.H.I.E.L.D. to create the " Gamma Base " and the resultant of his experiment there is an even more uncontrollable and violent Hulk and a human Banner stick in a coma .
Banner eventually awakens and helps takeover Gamma Base to hunt Hulk down . These funny book issues helped set the stagecoach for an even bigger Marvel Comics event yr later in 1990 when the different personalities inside Banner vying for control ( something we really started to see inAvengers : Age of Ultronand something Mark Ruffalo wishes to uphold research ) agree to work together as one . There start " overbold Hulk . "
Skip forrard a few decades and Hulk and Banner split up once again , this time as a outcome of something Hulk did without Banner know . The two battle each other in their mind and at the end of the " Fear Itself " crosswalk event in 2011 , Hulk is seen walking off from a now - tell Banner who is confounded and lost . It was surprising and incomprehensible at the fourth dimension , but it was after revealed that Doctor Doom made this happen for Hulk . Doom clone a body for Banner and performed brain surgical operation on the Hulk to somehow make two freestanding but still fully working beings .

The thought of take on a deeper flavor into the psyche of Bruce Banner is an interesting one , along with doing more with his intelligence service and gamma radiation experiements . A super smart Banner helped connect the belated version of the New Avengers / Illuminati in Marvel Comics who were tasked with make unnecessary the macrocosm so there ’s a mass to do with Banner in future big events we may finally see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe even if we do n’t see another Hulk solo pic . Banner works well with others and Hulk always need to agitate others , so that ’s o.k. . But Hulk can certainly be more than the muscle on the team or another brain for Stark to reverberate ideas off of .
