Hulk Provides The Perfect Justification For A Grounded Avengers Movie

Since as early as 1964’sFantastic Four#25 , Hulk has come to blows with the Avengers , the Fantastic Four , and the Adam - Isle of Man in the seed material . Hulk was even the Avengers ' first - ever enemy in the Ultimate Universe , as well as the Earth ’s most serious threat inWorld War Hulk , where he singlehandedly defeated the Adam - Men .

The MCU Can Always Repeat Ragnarok’s Formula With Hulk
A try - and - honest method acting to include Hulk in succeeding MCU movies without his own solo movie lie inThor : Ragnarok ’s approaching . Thor : Ragnarokmerged Asgard ’s end not only withUnworthy Thor ’s deconstruction of the graphic symbol , but also withPlanet Hulk , which originally accompany Hulk after he ’s exile to outer place and becomes a prizefighter on a far - off planet . Since bringing back Hulk inThor 5would make this rule a little repetitive , Marvel Studios could try it again in a unlike hero ’s sequel , either adapting one of Hulk ’s still unexplored comic book storylines or just make his own novel original arc .
