Frank Grillo Explains Why 'Crossbones' Could Take Out 'Hulk' In A Future Marvel Movie

Frank Grillo makes a very interesting case in regards to how and why Crossbones could take down any member of The Avengers with his superior fighting skills, and recalls his intense fight scenes with Chris Evans in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Read on for details!

In a lengthy profile over at Entertainment Weekly (it's well worth reading in its entirety, so be sure to head on over to the site to check it out), Frank Grillo - who is still playing coy about possibly returning as Crossbones in Captain America: Civil War - shared his thoughts on what makes the villain such a formidable foe. "He is not good and not bad, Crossbones. He’s just a guy who’s defending his ideology, and he’s a badass. He has no super powers. He’s a mercenary," the actor said about what about the role appeals to him. "Here’s the deal about Crossbones. The Hulk is just a big thug who comes at you. He comes out swinging. Crossbones is much smarter than that. Plus, he’s got weapons. The Hulk has no weapons. He’s an idiot. And he’s green. Crossbones doesn’t lose to people who are green. I’ll fight any of those guys. Any of them." 

Of course, he might just get that chance to take on more members of Earth's Mightiest Heroes when Captain America and Iron Man go to war in 2016! Regardless, the actor then looked back at his time battling it out with Steve Rogers in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and revealed a pretty humourous story about how he and Chris Evans beat each other up to ensure the scene looked as brutal as possible. "There were a couple times in that elevator scene where [Evans] said, ‘Dude, you’re hitting me.'I go, ‘We are in an elevator. My stunt guy’s not coming in here. They won’t be able to shoot your face. We gotta do this.’ And we just start punching each other. We did that scene for six days. We were literally covered in black and blues. That’s why I love him." Are you looking forward to the return of Crossbones? Share your thoughts below.

Give'em the mask. He'll make an appearance in Capt 3. He's the one who shoots Cap in the back of the face.

We nerds could debate the specifics here, but you have to love his enthusiasm.

Gotta love it when an actor is actually caring/involved in a role rather looking it as strictly another job/paycheck.

Crossbones is not taking out the Hulk.

That's what made TWS so great; the Russo brothers' push to make that movie evolve Cap and add a tangible/practical dimension to the MCU that we hadn't seen since 2008, really raised the bar for the MCU. Also, the movie avoided the "dark and gritty" trend everyone seems to be going for nowadays, while still feeling more mature. Of course, the organic humor was refreshing.

I can't get over how great that movie was.

At least he's a fan of the character. Better that than just turning up for a quick payday I guess

Only chance Crossbones stands out taking down Hulk is if he got blasted with gamma radiation and turned into a hulk creature.

i love his passion for the character but he's dead wrong. Which is exactly what Crossbones would be if he fought the Hulk. The Hulk is a force of nature. You don't fight him, you survive him.

The actors seem to really get into these roles. he wants to take on all of the Avengers. he's even Crossbones outside of the movie.

I find it funny that so people don't realize that his comments where tongue in cheek.

@ soforizo

That's the whole point of why he said it the way he did. He's using mock logic for comedic effect.

"The Hulk has no weapons. He’s an idiot. And he’s green. Crossbones doesn’t lose to people who are green."
