The Incredible Hulk
Eric Bana failed to make the Hulk interesting for a whole movie . Edward Norton go to make the Hulk interesting for a whole movie . But Mark Ruffalo ’s Hulk has had a major role in five whole motion picture in the MCU now andhe still has n’t give up to be an interesting character .
So , what is it ? What ’s Ruffalo ’s mystery ? It ’s quite simple , really . His Hulk is invariably evolving . His characterisation in each motion-picture show is not the same as the last , and he always develops in some fashion throughout the movie . So , here are 10 Times Hulk ’s Characterization totally convert In The MCU .
When he was suddenly played by Mark Ruffalo
The Hulk was technically the 2nd Avenger to be preface into the MCU . He was played by Edward Norton in 2008’sThe Incredible Hulk , which was somewhat successful at the box office and satisfied unconstipated moviegoers if not devouring Hulk sports fan .
Norton proved difficult to work withand Marvel settle to interchange him with Mark Ruffalo , who has played the Hulk in the MCU starting with 2012’sThe Avengers . Ruffalo still does n’t have his own solo movie , which fans have been clamoring for ever since he bust onto the screen as the third - clip - prosperous big - screen Hulk who ultimately receive it veracious .
When he got his anger under control
InThe Avengers , despite a brusque blip where he was under Loki ’s trance and went on a rampage after Black Widow aboard the Helicarrier , Bruce Banner had surprisingly grapple to get his choler under ascendence .
The other Avengers did n’t get it on how he ’d managed to do it , as he was swap seamlessly in and out of the Hulk persona duringthe Battle of New York . His secret ? “ I ’m always raging . ” This ascendence lead to some classic moments , likewhen he perforate Thor across the roomor when he calls Loki a “ puny god . ” In the end , he ’s the one who rescue Iron Man .
When he became Tony Stark’s personal psychiatrist
This was just in the post - credits scene tag on the goal ofIron Man 3 , but it still implied that Tony had been using up a tidy sum of Banner ’s meter by making him his personal shrink . This was supposedly to get him through the posttraumatic stress disorder he incurred when he went through a wormhole and blew up an alien fleet in outer blank space , to the full expecting not to make it out live .
Banner deals with hatful of trauma and guilt feelings and mixed feelings over his double life as the Hulk where he uncontrollably ruin cities and terrorize mass , so he really did n’t need Tony pile on top of that .
When he was the Avengers’ backup who needed to be soothed with a lullaby
Since the Hulk is the most dangerous and unpredictable Avenger , byAvengers : Age of Ultron , Earth ’s mightiest Hero of Alexandria had decided to only use him when it was absolutely necessary , and so he became the team ’s reluctant Plan B.
He would wait on the Quinjet until his sidekick say the position was “ Code Green , ” and then he ’d let the brute out of the cage to come in in and save them . They worked out a protocol where he could be brought back down to Banner level by a lullaby spoken by Black Widow or , failing that , get suppressed by Iron Man in his Hulkbuster armor .
When he started dating Black Widow
Whenever a franchise becomes democratic and its characters and their dynamics become generally known , the fans of that dealership set out to mate up those character reference , imagining which of them would get together . But of all the MCU ‘ ships , Bruce Banner and Natasha Romanoff was not one of them .
Banner ’s dear interest is traditionally Betty Ross in the comics – andshe was even introduced in the MCU , played by Liv Tyler – but Joss Whedon decided to give him a new sexual love interest . It ’s fair to say that the romance was interesting for plot development , since they then became the MCU ’s hotshot - queer devotee .
When he became independent
At the end ofAge of Ultron , after ejecting Ultron from his ship , the Hulk strap himself in and took off to an uncertain fate , leaving behind Nat and everyone else Banner cared about . We did n’t make out where he was going or what he was doing or where he ’d end up . It was a surprising plot winding , since it interruptedthe movie ’s happy ending .
Nat herself had pushed Banner off of a ledge to get him to reverse into the Hulk and hold open Sokovia , and now , he was n’t coming back . This was the beginning of the Hulk becoming his own graphic symbol , all independent of Banner . Two years later , inThor : Ragnarok , we ’d find out eventually where he exit .
When he found work as a gladiator on Sakaar
Thanks to right issues tied up with Universal , Marvel Studios could n’t make their own Hulk solo picture show with Mark Ruffalo , and fans were desperate to see the “ Planet Hulk ” plot line from the comics adapted for the handsome screen . Marvel supervise to reconcile these two fact withThor : Ragnarok , which was technically a Thor solo movie that double up as a Hulk movie .
The plot saw Thor spat out of a wormhole on the distant satellite of Sakaar and squeeze to struggle in a gladiatorial arena by the Grandmaster – only to divulge thatthe Hulk had become the Grandmaster ’s superstar gladiator .
When he was killed by Thanos and then resurrected and sent to Earth by Heimdall
In the opening scene ofAvengers : Infinity War , Thanos board the Asgardians ’ ship and wiped out most of them . Then the Hulk tried to take him on and was shoot down within second . Heimdall was there to resurrect him andsend him to Doctor Strange ’s family on Earth , but it was still a hugely important mo in his lineament development .
The Hulk could always be depended on . Tony Stark made his passcode in the Quinjet “ potent Avenger , ” because that ’s what he is . And he was arrogant about that , thinking he could take on anyone . When Thanos kill him , it changed him forever .
When he refused to come out and play for the whole ofInfinity War
After being belt down by Thanos , the Hulk pass the whole runtime ofInfinity Warrefusing to come out of Banner . Banner had to actually reason with him and ask him to come in out and join the struggle in Wakanda , but the Hulk refused .
In the end , Banner had to take how to use the Hulkbuster armor – the armor that wasdesigned to repress his own purportedly out - of - control alter ego – just so that he had something to contribute in the fight against Thanos and his armies . This was perhaps the most interesting Hulk development yet , as it gave him the kind of Jekyll / Hyde wave-particle duality he has in the comics .
When he compromised with Banner and became “Professor Hulk”
The latest re - enactment of the Hulk in the MCU came as quite a surprise inAvengers : Endgame . In the five - twelvemonth prison term startle between “ the Decimation ” and Scott Lang ’s escape from the Quantum Realm , he ’d issue forth to footing with the Hulk andthey’d compromised to share their consistency as “ Professor Hulk . ”
The young version of the Hulk has the atrocious size , immeasurable posture , and green tegument of the Hulk , and the brains , communicating skills , and meek - mannered nature of Banner . It bet as though he ’ll also bepermanently damaged from his enjoyment of Tony Stark ’s homemade Infinity Gauntlet , but he ’s still Professor Hulk maneuver a time political machine at the final stage ofEndgame .
