I ’m hopeful thatAvengers : Secret Warswill adjust one of the Hulk ’s most iconic mo from Marvel Comics to bring him back to full speciality in theMCU . Mark Ruffalo has n’t yet been confirmed to be returning asBruce Banner ’s Hulk inAvengers : DoomsdayandSecret Wars , but given his bulge in the MCU as one of the franchise ’s original heroes , I have no doubt we ’ll see him back in action before long . While I ’m unrestrained about the prospect of seeing the Hulk again , I really trust the Russo brother make some huge changes to redeem him .
Bruce Banner has been of the essence to the development of the MCU since the very beginning , despite the fact we ’ve only seen him have one solo adventure all the way back in 2008’sThe Incredible Hulk . Now , it ’s been almost three years since Mark Ruffalo ’s Smart Hulk was seen in the MCU - his last appearance being inShe - Hulk : Attorney at Law’sfinale- so it ’s high clock time he reunite with Earth ’s other Mightiest Heroes . DoomsdayandSecret Warspresent the good opportunity for theHulk to bring back , and I know just how the Russo brothers can ameliorate their past mistakes .

The Hulk Went Through Controversial Changes In The Infinity Saga
Since his introduction in 2008 , Bruce Banner ’s Hulk has been through some pretty major translation , which culminated in his impotence inAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgameintroducing " Smart Hulk . “This translation of the mingy , green , Avenging machine is a combination of Banner ’s human and Hulk image , enhancing the intellect of the Hulk and the brawn of Banner , but seeming to also generally weaken both in other way . This was a very controversial variety to the character made byEndgame’sdirectors , the Russo brother .

develop into the Smart Hulk only exacerbated critique thatBruce Banner has been the dupe of " nerfing"in the MCU , that is to get a reference to become rickety over time . In the early day of the MCU , we saw the Hulk destruct Harlem during his battle against the Abomination , plug a Leviathan so hard it died instantly , and rampage through Johannesburgin one of the most memorable conflict scenes in the franchise ’s history . We have n’t seen a Hulk second like this in old age , though , but I ’m hopeful thatAvengers : Secret Warswill eventually turn the tide .
The Russo Brothers Are Taking Inspiration From Both Of Marvel’s Secret Wars Events In The MCU
Marvel Comics' Secret Wars From 1984 & 2015 Will Inspire The MCU Crossover
The Russo blood brother have recently revealed more about their return to Marvel Studios and the maturation ofAvengers : DoomsdayandSecret Wars . During an interview withTechRadar , the Russos reveal that they will be take inspiration from both of Marvel Comics ' majorSecret Warsevents , from 1984 and 2015 , when developing Phase 6 ’s upcoming crossover movies . This makes me hopeful that some of thebest moments from Marvel’sSecret Warsstorylineswill be adapted into the live - natural action MCU , including some of the most unexpected scenes .
Well , we always make our own variation of the level . So , we utilize the comics as loose inspiration . But , you know , I grew up on the original run . That ’s something that got me into Marvel comic books . The Hickman run is also fantastic [ and they ’re ] very dissimilar from each other in a lot of way , so we ’ll get out inspiration from both of them .
In 1984’sSecret Warsevent , the Beyonder brought Marvel ’s submarine and villain to Battleworld to fight , culminate in an epical confrontation between the heroes and an enhanced Doctor Doom . 2015 arguably had a more refinedSecret Warsstoryline , as incursions ravaged the multiverse , andDoctor Doom used steal power to create Battleworldfrom the disconnected pieces of destroyed universe . Doom was fought by survivors and the multiverse was eventually restored , which seems to be where the MCU is headed , but I ’d still love to see one huge Hulk prospect from the original story contribute to the MCU .
Avengers: Secret Wars Has The Perfect Scene To Adapt To Redeem The Hulk
Bruce Banner’s Hulk Needs To Get His Strength Back In Avengers: Secret Wars
During the original 1984Secret Warsevent , Molecule Man came up with a surefire programme to shoot down all the heroes in one cruel swoop : drop a 150 - billion - gross ton mountain grasp on top of them . Thankfully , this did n’t work , as Bruce Banner ’s Hulk display the effectiveness to hold up up the intact mountain range long enough for the other heroes to devise a way to miss . accommodate this scene , or a more naturalistic version of it , for the MCU would put the Hulk ’s gauzy physical enduringness front - and - centre of attention , which I think would be the best style to redeem him .
The Russo bros . disclose how retaliator : Doomsday and Secret Wars will differ from Infinity War and Endgame , and tease what it intend for the MCU ’s future tense .
Having the Hulk showing might of this order of magnitude inAvengers : Secret Warswould sure as shooting quell criticisms regarding his apparent " nerfing " in the MCU . There is also the theory that pulling off this feat couldunleash the " Savage Hulk " once again , which there have been many calls for since Bruce Banner became the Smart Hulk inAvengers : Endgame . The Hulk has been through some significant changes over the duration of the MCU ’s entire story , and I thinkAvengers : Secret Wars , the final Multiverse Saga movie , is the thoroughgoing place to lend him back to form .
