As a long-time Marvel fan and avid gamer, I have witnessed the highs and lows of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The upcoming project, “Deadpool & Wolverine,” has brought excitement back to the community, with rumors swirling around the potential appearance of Bruce Banner’s Hulk.
As a longtime Marvel fan with countless hours spent following the intricate web of stories and characters across both the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and Fox Universes, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation as Deadpool and Wolverine approach. With these iconic characters on the horizon, a new fan art has recently taken social media by storm, showing Bruce Banner’s Hulk effortlessly taking down Deadpool.
It’s been rumored that the Hulk, played by Bruce Banner and acted by Mark Ruffalo, could make an appearance in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” However, this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. In the current Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Hulk is quite different from the enraged monster fans are familiar with, who wreaked havoc in films like “The Avengers.” But perhaps a new version of Hulk will emerge in the upcoming film.
The Green Avenger, known for his great power, can hold his own against tough opponents like Wolverine and Deadpool according to Marvel Comics. A graphic posted on Instagram by BossLogic brilliantly depicts this confrontation, including the less popular portrayal of Hulk from the 2003 movie, acted by Eric Bana in “Hulk”.
As a big fan of Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds‘ portrayal of him, I can’t help but be intrigued by the vivid imagery of a fan art piece. In this artwork, Deadpool lies in pieces, his limbs and head torn apart, with an eyeball dangling precariously by a thread. Although it may appear gruesome at first glance, this scene holds a significant connection to Deadpool’s comic book history.
Will the MCU Bring Back the Original Hulk?
If Deadpool and Wolverine were to encounter the Hulk, it’s unclear which film version they would face. The 2008 live-action portrayal of The Incredible Hulk, featuring Edward Norton in the role for a short time and then Mark Ruffalo taking over, is widely regarded as one of the best Hulk adaptations. However, financially, it wasn’t a huge success. The 2003 version with Eric Bana caused controversy among fans due to Ang Lee’s unique direction, and plans for a sequel evolved into the second Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. While Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk is the most likely candidate for Deadpool and Wolverine’s adversary, his experiences have softened him somewhat from his former brutal self.
In the vast expanse of the multiverse, it is plausible to reintroduce the enraged Hulk from “The Avengers,” who playfully tormented Loki, the Trickster God, and destroyed the Chitauri Leviathan with ease. Noteworthy, Mark Ruffalo was not originally cast as Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), opening up the possibility for Edward Norton’s portrayal of the Hulk to resurface, despite his earlier statements about avoiding the franchise once more.
Edward Norton might not be chosen for the part due to his past issues with MCU’s Kevin Feige. However, Eric Bana’s possibility of coming back as the Hulk is still on the table, despite Bana’s public statements about not being involved. A potential alternative could be inviting Lou Ferrigno back, known for portraying the Hulk in the 70s “Incredible Hulk” series and TV movies, who has expressed his willingness to reclaim the role.
Deadpool & Wolverine will open in theaters on July 26, 2024.
