MCU Shocker: Hulk Smashes Back in 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday!

by

In a 2026 Marvel Studios movie, one of the MCU’s longest-serving and experienced stars will make a comeback. Many prominent actors who played crucial roles in Phases 1 and 2 have been noticeably absent from the series for some time now, even though their characters are still alive.

Marvel enthusiasts can rejoice as Mark Ruffalo, known for his roles as Bruce Banner and the Hulk, is set to reprise these characters in Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated 2026 film, Avengers: Doomsday. Despite a previous cast announcement for the movie in March that did not include Ruffalo’s name, it now appears that some actors have yet to be officially unveiled by Marvel. Notably, Ruffalo is not only expected to appear in Doomsday, but also in another significant future project.

As per Alex Perez from The Cosmic Circus (via X), Mark Ruffalo is set to reappear in the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday. However, Perez didn’t elaborate on whether Ruffalo will be appearing as a purely human Bruce Banner, a fully enraged Hulk, or a combination of both, similar to his roles in Avengers: Endgame and She-Hulk.

Indeed, Perez disclosed that Ruffalo is set to resume his character in “Avengers: Secret Wars” slated for 2027. This means that the seasoned actor, who’s been absent from our screens recently, will be gracing us with his presence once more in two upcoming films.

Doomsday” and also in “Secret Wars“.

Mark Ruffalo has yet to confirm if he will reappear or not, but when it was disclosed that Robert Downey Jr. would play Doctor Doom in the MCU, Ruffalo did post a comment on social media about the news, saying to Downey Jr., “Hey Kiddo, the green looks good on you.

In the upcoming movie “Avengers: Doomsday,” set for release on May 1, 2026, Mark Ruffalo will team up with his fellow original Avenger Chris Hemsworth alongside a stellar cast that includes Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Anthony Mackie, Paul Rudd, and other Marvel Cinematic Universe veterans.

What Will Mark Ruffalo’s Role Be in Avengers: Doomsday?

A while ago, some concept art for a potential film titled “Avengers: Doomsday” or “Secret Wars” surfaced to the public, causing quite a stir. The Russo brothers, who are directors of these films, stated that this art was not authentic, yet many spectators found it looked rather legitimate.

In one artwork, you might come across a scene featuring Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk alongside Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk and Wil Deusner’s Skaar. Some people think this artwork is depicting these three characters on Battleworld due to another piece of art showing Doctor Doom in his white robe, suggesting he was in his God Emperor Doom form. The intriguing introduction of She-Hulk’s Doomsday can be explored here.

If the concept art accurately represents the movie and the completed film includes Battleworld and God Emperor Doom, it’s quite probable that Hulk will appear in Greenland. This is because, within Battleworld, Greenland has a cluster of Hulks due to its exposure to Gamma Bombs.

In the event that the concept art is authentic, a significant portion of Mark Ruffalo’s role in “Doomsday” might transpire on Battleworld. Later, it seems he would team up with the Avengers during “Secret Wars” to vanquish Doom.

Regardless of the specific part Mark Ruffalo plays, there’s a strong desire among fans to reconnect with his character due to its prolonged absence. Particularly, they are eager to delve deeper into his onscreen relationship with his son, Skaar, who made his debut in She-Hulk.
