'Hulk' & 'Black Widow' To Feature Prominently In PHASE 3, But No Solo Films Planned

Despite persistent rumors of solo movie outings for both characters, Kevin Feige seems to have put an end to 'em. The Marvel head honcho does say that they are very important to the MCU however, and reveals that the Hulk will "appear in many of the movies announced today."

Fans have been hoping for another solo adventure for the Incredible Hulk ever since Mark Ruffalo stole the show in The Avengers. Likewise, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow made a huge impact (particularly in Captain America: The Winter Soldier) in her Marvel movie outings, and many expected her to be the focus of her own spin-off at some point. Well, while these films may happen eventually, it seems there are no immediate plans in place.



Kevin Feige On Hulk:

[Hulk] is going to appear in many of the movies announced today. Part of the fun of Avengers: Age of Ultron was saying, ‘you’ve seen another Iron Man adventure, you see another Thor adventure and another Cap adventure, but we haven’t seen the Green Goliath again. So that was important in the characters you haven’t seen – Hulk being one of them and Hawkeye being one of them – Ultron will make up for it.

On Black Widow:

Black Widow couldn't be more important as an Avenger, but like Hulk the Avengers films will be the films where they play a primary role. [Her role] is very, very big and further develops her character. The plans we have for her through the rest of the Avengers saga are very big and she is a linchpin. So instead of taking her out there or doing a prequel which we haven’t done yet, we’re continuing the forward momentum of the continuity of the Cinematic Universe, of which Widow is a key part.


Interesting that Feige says Hulk will appear in "many" of the Phase 3 films, and not just the Avengers ones that were announced. Where else could Mark Ruffalo pop up as Bruce Banner? My guess would be The Inhumans and Guardians Of The Galaxy 2. Yep, I think we will see some sort of Planet Hulk type storyline emerge to bridge the gaps between the MCU and the Cosmic Universe established in James Gunn's brilliant space adventure. Wild speculation? perhaps, but let's hear your theories in the usual place.

Damn, instead of the Illuminati sending Hulk in a spacecraft away from Earth, Feige denied him another movie. But he's gonna come back.

Watch your butt Kevin.

I was really rooting for a Hulk sequel, Captain Marvel could've played a role in the Inifinity Wars honestly. But it's whatever, just 5-6 more years to mark my calendars to see Hulk doing his own thing by then. :(

Widow is most certainly at the rock bottom of the list for me. I never really cared too much for seeing Widow's prequel, seems like Cap 2 and Avengers are already doing that...same goes for Hawkeye and a Shield movie. That's why we have Agents of Shield and Agent Carter am I right? lol

TheRationalNerd - 10/28/2014, 3:51 PM
Seems like the Inhumans will be something special, I only knew Black Bolt from the Ultimate Alliance game back in 2006. lol I stayed pressuring him to talk. lol

"So.... No one is dying in AOU? They can't kill the miracles."

Yes! This is what I, and a few others, have been saying all along. They aren't killing any of the heroes. Does that make the stakes less? Doesn't have to. But like I have said many times, Widow, Cap, and all the rest are viable options for films. Whether it's a solo film, or something to boost someone else's. It's still a studio, and needs to make money. Killing off a potential box office giant is a foolish mistake.

Fanboys before: Marvel give us Black Panther and Captain Marvel! You need to diversify!
Fanboys now: WTH Marvel I don't want stupid Carol give me Hulk!

Seriously just be happy with what you have and stop being greedy. Your taking advantage of what Marvel and DC are giving us. Some of you are acting like kids who got everything they wanted for Christmas but one toy and are now throwing a tantrum.
