Mark Ruffalo Talks CIVIL WAR; Plays Down The Possibility Of Another Solo HULK Movie

A interesting interview has just emerged, featuring Marvel's very own Green Goliath: Mark Ruffalo. In it he discusses The Hulk's future in the MCU - and where we may (or may not) see him next. Obviously he talks about the ending of Age Of Ultron, so be wary of SPOILERS!

By now, you'll all be very aware that everyone's favorite giant green raging monster had a pretty ambigious conclusion to his Age Of Ultron storyline - appearing to fly off into the sunset away from his fellow heroes. In a recent interview with Collider (via Comicbook.com), Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo shed a little light on the Green Goliath's future in the MCU.

"I think it's four [movies] now," he said of his current contract with Marvel, "But that could always go further... I could show up in another character's movie. I could do Avengers 3 and 4, I could do a Hulk standalone - like any combination of those things. Up to four or five." Conversation then turned to Marvel's much-anticipated Civil War venture - for which Ruffalo has so far not been confirmed to be a part of. "I don't know that I'm in it yet," he reiterated, "but sometimes these things happen at the last minute in this world. I really don't know where I fit in from here on out, and I'm not sure they do. In terms of a stand-alone Hulk movie, Marvel doesn't really have the rights to that yet; that's still Universal's property. So there's that issue."

Ruffalo's Hulk has been a fan-favorite ever since he stole the show back in 2012's The Avengers. Many fans have expressed hope in seeing him star in his own solo Hulk movie - perhaps even in a Planet Hulk adaptation. While Ruffalo played down that concept, he maintained that everything was still very much up in the air at Marvel Studios, with Hulk's Age Of Ultron ending being intentionally "totally ambiguous" - so perhaps there's still some hope!

What do you think? Would you like to see Marvel secure the rights for another solo Hulk movie in Phase 3/4, or do you think the character is best left to the big event movies? You can check out the full interview with Collider right here, and as always, leave your thoughts in the comments below!

It just feels like Hulk is being wasted right now, he's basically just the muscle.

What @SuperCat said. Let that green ass stay on earth, doing eathling things. I want to see how Hulk could use his skills on a court drama movie.

Bruce Banner/Hulk has been one of the biggest disappointments character wise. Whenever he is in Hulk mode, he steals the scenes, but when he is Bruce Banner, he cant make up his damn mind whether he wants to use his powers or not. It would be one thing if the MCU went the Avengers EMH route and allowed Hulk to consume Banner while giving us a talking Hulk and flashes of Banner acting as the Hulks conscious. They could have even gone the Planet Hulk route and turned the Hulk against his teammates because of his destructive nature and inability to look at the overall picture. But he is the most conflicted character in the MCU. The crazy part about the Hulk is that the villains in the last couple of movies could have singlehandedly been defeated by the Hulk.

If anything I think AoU proved that maybe another Hulk solo movie isn't a good idea.
The Bruce/Widow relationship was awful and while we had some good character moments from it, mostly it consisted more of Bruce's moping and Natasha being there purely to calm Hulk down.

Alright, here's a crazy idea- what if they do something akin to Planet Hulk, with Banner being in space and on an alien world, but the Red Skull is the Red King? Think about it- Skull is already in space, and already an established threat who fans have been wanting to reappear for ages. Thoughts?

I don't think the Hulk needs anything else. He's fine right where he's at....can't we just keep the Hulk for special occasions and forget about it?

You can't have a movie entirely on Hulk,
You have to have a lot of Banner and unfortunately they don't know how to write a Bruce that's compelling and not constantly moping

Solo Hulk movie could be good, sadly we got Marvel Studios movies until 2019, so the earliest could be in that year or 2020, and Ruffalo gonna be 52-53 yas old to that time, not happening.

yeah I mean the hulk vs iron man veronica was a highlight of the movie but the forced hulk and black widow was terrible oh how sad they both cant have kids??? Where the hell is betty maybe would be too many characters, I actually like the hulk entering the guardians of the galaxy, or a hulk/shield movie but too many other characters and hulk already has two films, I think they should keep ruffilo around and let him into phase 3 movies like make him appear in black panther capt marvel

I think Guadians of the Galaxy's plot will be based on Planet Hulk story arc

If anything, I think the Incredible Hulk movie showed that a solo film won't work. People go to see the Hulk, not Banner. Mark does a great job with Banner, but not enough for a 2 hour film.

Everyone complained that there wasn't enough Hulk in the Incredible Hulk, and in Ang Lee's Hulk they complained that there was too much Hulk and they couldn't related to banner.

He's a difficult character to perfect for a solo movie. I think he does better as a side character, or atleast how Marvel is handling him.

Wouldn't be against a live adaptation of Hulk vs. Wolverine if they ever got the X-Men rights back. Hell if they make a movie about the X-Force, I think the Hulk could work well there.

But that's just my opinion.

You can have a solo Hulk movie. The first two Hulk movies made mistakes. Lee's Hulk was too long, drastically drifted away from the source material and while it displayed Hulk's true power, the villains in the movie were underwhelming. The second Hulk did what the first Hulk could not. It gave us plenty of Hulk, created a shared universe with Captain America, Iron Man and SHIELD, gave a number of appropriate cameos such as The Leader but marketing was not good enough to help people forget about the atrocity known as the Ang Lee Hulk and timing for the movie was also bad. Ever since Hulk came to Avengers, he has been THE star of the show. People say a Hulk movie cant work, but Transformers, a movie primarily about talking robots, has been a multi billion dollar industry. To assume that a movie about a green super hero wont work is insane.

@BlackHulk

That's the point, Hulk WILL work but unfortunately it's the Bruce Banner aspect that doesn't have wide appeal, and Bruce needs to be a large part of it. I do hope to see World War Hulk one day.
