We know that The Hulk is unlikely to ever get his own solo movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to some complicated distribution issues with Universal Pictures, but that doesn't mean Marvel Studios can't do some interesting things with the character. For example, in Avengers: Endgame, he very nearly ended up going from green to red!
"I entertained the idea for about a day," co-writer Christopher Markus told Backstory Magazine when they asked if the moment he's exposed to the Infinity Stones and his skin burns with a reddish glow was a sign that they thought about going down that route.
"Red Hulk is a completely different thing in the comics. It wound up being, well, really we’re just saying he changes color. That’s not a character change," he explained. "If there’s a future for William Hurt as a superhero, he can turn into Red Hulk." That would be fun to see, but considering the fact that "Thunderbolt" Ross was at Tony Stark's funeral, it seems somewhat unlikely.
The Hulk has gone through many iterations in the MCU and we've seen his Savage, Planet Hulk, and Smart Hulk personas now. Do you think Red Hulk should be next?
