As the focus of “The Infinity Saga”, Avengers: Endgame had a lot to cover. The film gives satisfying endings to several key heroes and prepares well the next years of storytelling. But many enthusiasts think he’s done one of the original Avengers a disagg favour. But according to Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest rumor, the powers of the MCU await him on an upcoming project.
Shortly after the start of Avengers: End of the Game, the audience was surprised to see the story skip five years in the future. And in fact, much of the first hour of the film focuses on catching up with everyone and reassembling the original Avengers. But the character that caught the public’s attention the most is the Hulk.
The last time the enthusiasts saw Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) in Avengers: Infinity War, he couldn’t become the Hulk at all. Suddenly, after the time jump, Banner and the Hulk merged into the so-called “Smart Hulk”. The hero temporarily explains that he took some time in the gamma lab to perceive him.
But some enthusiasts were not satisfied with this sudden change. And with She-Hulk’s arrival at Disney, it seemed that Banner’s time in the highlights had passed. After all, the MCU is about to upgrade almost every and every original Avenger in Phase 4. So it’s no wonder that the story of Avengers: Hulk Endgame has left some enthusiasts indifferent.

Now, according to We Got This Covered, Marvel Studios plans to explore Banner’s adventure to become a Smart Hulk. For years, the perception of a moment from the MCU Film Hulk, after The Incredible Hulk of 2008, seemed due to rights issues. But the WGTC says Marvel has solved this.
The sequel to the Hulk will be in the era between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. But it will also serve as a Hulk-centric sequel to this new film. In this way, the Hulk story can be directly linked to She-Hulk, in which Ruffalo revealed that he might appear.
Of course, for now, the WGTC’s history will have to be firmly seen as a rumor. That said, if the MCU made a new Hulk movie, this turns out to be the most productive opportunity to explore the character a little deeper. Ruffalo has long said he was looking for the possibility of appearing on the cover of a film like the Hulk.

Perhaps sometime, this series of Hulk rumors would look like nothing but a chimera. However, the MCU has recently demonstrated its willingness to take approaches to fan favorite characters. After all, Black Widow is also an “interquel” between existing MCU adventures.
After Avengers: Endgame, the MCU is obviously in an era of transition. Marvel Studios is tasked with creating a new generation of heroes without alienating lifelong enthusiasts. Interests like Black Widow, a sequel to the Hulk, and even Captain America Four can serve enthusiasts and keep the franchise afloat in the meantime.
