Kevin Feige Reveals That A False Scoop Actually Altered The Ending Of AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

Fans might remember that a "scoop" before Avengers: Age Of Ultron released suggested that the movie would conclude with the Hulk ending up in space. However, in the final cut of the film the green goliath instead disappears in a quinjet with mention that contact was lost when he was flying over the Caspian Sea.


In a new interview with The Wrap, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has revealed that this was not originally going to be the case. Instead, it seems Hulk was going to end up in space but a media story caused them to rethink the ending.

“We said, ‘Joss, we can’t do that because he’s not going into space and people are going to think we’re doing ‘Planet Hulk’ because Umberto has some big hot scoop that we’re doing ‘Planet Hulk,’ we can’t do it.’ He goes, ‘Well, what are you going to do?’ We said, ‘We don’t know.’ So, if you go back and look at that shot of the movie, he’s in the sky. It’s blue sky.”


Feige further revealed that the script originally included a mention of Hulk being near Saturn. It seems then that while the Hulk was going to end up in space at the time, there were no plans for this to lead to a ‘Planet Hulk’ storyline. Of course, we now know that elements of ‘Planet Hulk’ are included in Thor: Ragnarok but this was not decided until a year later. Feige further explained that a conversation with executive Brad Winderbaum lead to Hulk’s inclusion.


“Well, what if he did go to space? We would jokily call it ‘Planet Thor,’ for a while. I went, ‘You know what that means?’ They go, ‘What?’ I go, ‘That means Hulk went to space at the end of Ultron.’


So as it turns out, the original plan ultimately came to fruition.


We’ll get to see exactly what happened to the Hulk after his disappearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron when Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters in November.

Umberto shifted the MCUs plans for a time... that's really interesting actually. For how much we dislike the guy, he's made quite a name for himself now.

@Kman - I think it's a cool validation for him, the fact that marvel paid attention. I would love if Feige said I affected the MCU at all lol.

Most days it seems like Feige is a mad genius who has cracked the Matrix code of Hollywood blockbusters.

But then, there are these stories where I have to image the other studio heads read how disorganized and silly Marvel's decision making process is and they think:

At the time I presumed he crashed in Atlantis, because Fury says they lost his signal over the ocean. In the comics, when Hulk left the team, that's where he ended up. So they may have originally intended to use this plot to introduce Namor, and then realized that would be a legal nightmare with Universal who owns the rights to both Hulk and Namor.

At the time I already thought it was dubious cause the jet was way really up high
