SPOILERS: New AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Funko Pop Reveals A Huge Moment Cut From The Movie
Like most blockbusters, Avengers: Infinity War underwent some reshoots but it seems one character, in particular, ended up with a very different role in the final act than was originally intended...
Earlier this year, you may recall seeing some toy packaging that confirmed Bruce Banner was the one piloting the Hulkbuster in Avengers: Infinity War. It showed the Jade Giant tearing his way out of the armour, an indication that the hero was finally able to transform during a key moment in the battle. However, if you've seen the movie, you'll know such a sequence never actually takes place.
Now, a Funko Pop figure has been revealed which further confirms plans for the sequence. It's hard to say for sure where it would have taken place but the moment those Outriders cover the armour or that showdown with Cull Obsidian both seem like very strong possibilities. It's also possible The Hulk would have returned upon seeing Thanos but Marvel changed their minds and decided to leave Bruce unable to transform for the time being in order to make it a significantly bigger moment in Avengers 4.
We'll have to wait and see but there's no way Avengers 4 is wrapping up without The Hulk returning to action; it's just a shame we never got to enjoy the awesome visual of him smashing his way out of the Hulkbuster armour!
