The rumors of Marvel developingthePLANET HULKcomic into a moviemay eventually get along true withThor : Ragnarok- but not in the way fan ( or those who broke the rumour ) in all likelihood expected . For those who may have forgotten , or had not yet been a attached MCU devotee when rumors of aPlanet Hulkmovie first surfaced back in 2013 , it would be easy to confuse the images of a ' gladiator Hulk ' inRagnarokas an adjustment , in one configuration or another , of the 2006 Greg Pak , Carlo Pagulayan , and Aaron Lopresti story .
The Sojourner Truth , as is usually the causa , is even stranger . When we pose the probability to ask the producer ofRagnarokaboutthePlanet Hulkinfluences on Thor ’s novel moving picture , the literal origin of the rumour was offered . And as disappointed as some Marvel Comics fan may be to see one of Hulk ’s most epic risky venture stripped down to add some savor to aThorthreequel , it could have been bad . Apparently , the program forThor 3was originally to adapt even more ofPlanet Hulk … but swapping in Thor as the story ’s ground hero , or else of Bruce Banner .
Fans should feel no need to raise their pitchforks in protest , sinceRagnarokseems to be observe Hulk with the same level of victory and gladiatorial artistry as his comic . speak with the film ’s producer Brad Winderbaum on stage set last class , the fact that Marvel Studios was adapting aHulkstory into aThormovie was predictably raised . Winderbaum ’s explanation was simple … even if it helped clear away most , if not all of the mystery surround the2013 reports of aPlanet Hulkadaptation away once and for all :
I mean , it was a very early idea . In the early development of Thor , we were look at ‘ Planet Hulk ’ as intake , maybe not even to integrate the Hulk into the franchise but the melodic theme of a satellite where there ’s gladiatorial secret plan as being a Thor quandary . It really was a cool idea to us .
Somewhere in the early conversation , when it count like it was go that way , it was a no brainer . It actually start off as like , ‘ … could we have Hulk in there too ? ’ And then as shortly as that electric arc ignited , it inflame kind of an idea simple machine . And of a sudden [ Hulk ] was married to the plot .
It ’s easy to get the picture why the Hulk would before long become inextricable fromThor : Ragnarok ’s plot of land , since much of the excitement circumvent the motion-picture show is based on Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo ’s new Marvel moral force . The surprise , the laugh , and the anticipation of the Thor / Hulk gladiatorial match teased in trailers is guaranteed to get lover into the theaters . But it ’s what comesafterthe two fight that holds the most hope for their characters ' future ( and friendship ) in the MCU
And shows whya strict adaptation ofPlanet Hulkwasn’t as good an ideaas it seemed to fans .
It was n’t long after the reports ofPlanet Hulkleading into the MCU ’s version ofWorld War Hulkwere dismiss by Joss Whedon as"nonsense . “And having now seen the way of life to Thanos that followed , his response makes sense . Kevin Feige also explainedwhyPlanet Hulkwould waste Mark Ruffalo ’s talents in favour of a CG hotshot , and as Ruffalo soon pointed out himselfwhyPlanet Hulkwouldn’t make common sense for the MCU .
As it now appears , Marvel discover a agency to give fans enough of thatHulkstory to satisfy , while dodging most of the narrative or spectacular drawback . In scant , let Hulk fiddle his prizefighter role as a key player in Thor ’s bigger story , and return to his human Bruce Banner form to strengthen his relationship with the Asgardian , bank on him to catch him up to amphetamine .
Is it thePlanet Hulkmovie fan hoped for , and were told may be coming ? Far from it . But in the end , Marvel ’s claims that the movie would n’t solve in the MCU were n’t misdirection , but honesty . And considering how firm a pillowcase they have , Thor : Ragnarok ’s elements ofPlanet Hulkshould be rent by fans as an tote up bonus , far more than a ' escape opportunity ' or feeble compromise .
