Mark Ruffalo Dismisses Talk Of A PLANET HULK Movie; "You Need More Banner"

Echoing the thoughts of Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, Avengers: Age of Ultron star Mark Ruffalo expresses interest in Planet Hulk, but reiterates that one is not in the works and that it could be too early for a movie which would feature little to no Bruce Banner.

A Planet Hulk movie has been rumoured again and again, but the denials keep on coming, and if the plan is to still give the Green Goliath his own solo outing after his successful reintroduction in 2012's The Avengers, it won't take place in outer space! Talking to MTV News, Mark Ruffalo shared his thoughts on the beloved comic book story, before adding, "I don’t think ['Planet Hulk'] is the way to go yet. I think you need more Banner. The whole thing is just him as Hulk, on a planet, fighting other gladiators." It's a fair point, but could the story not be changed to feature a lot more of the Hulk's human alter ego? We'll have to wait and see, and it wouldn't be at all surprising if a Hulk movie is among those announced at Marvel's panel during next month's San Diego Comic Con.

Why would Marvel ever do Planet Hulk, anyway?

I get that it's an awesome concept, and apparently well executed (I haven't read it yet) but as an entry into Marvel Studios' cinematic universe? Not gonna happen.

What the hell is so difficult? They couldn't do flashbacks or something of Banner on Earth to balance out the Hulk some?

I agree, sure, seeing Hulk destroy stuff is cool but seeing Banner cope with the duality of the Hulk is the most interesting in my eyes.

I feel like(at this time) this Hulk doesn't work. We'd need a world-hated Hulk to do this.

That's good. Also, if the next Hulk movie is offically announced at SDCC... BEST EDITION OF THE COMIC-CON EVER!!! Last thing, for those who want a Planet Hulk movie, watch the video below:

Planet Hulk is kind of a lame storyline anyway....but we REALLY need an Incredible Hulk 2.

More than Black Panther, Miss Marvel or Doctor Strange.

More than a Black Widow solo film.

And 1000X more than a Loki movie.

Its my #1 desire for the next unannounced MCU film.

Eh the budget for Planet Hulk would be huge. I don't think Marvel would want to spend that kind of money. And I agree with everyone else, the Banner/Hulk dynamic is much more interesting to me.

What I'm hearing is Ruffalo not wanting to do it because Mo-Cap work is a bitch. lol

Gamera- i love hulk but i would argue we need a black panther or miss/captain marvel film more to introduce a bit more diversity.

We don't need another Hulk movie, we had 2 already. Give us some new characters, give me Black Panther.

I've never really wanted a Planet Hulk film anyway. I much rather have a straight up sequel to The Incredible Hulk sequel.

the same reason they will never do transformers in space, because you need the bloody human side

Although we may not "need" another Hulk movie the possibilities of having one would excite tons of MCU fans. I mean, didn't Ruffalo sign a 5-7 picture contract with Marvel? I'm too lazy to look it up...lol

Planet Hulk wouldn't be pratcial to turn into a live-action movie. It would be really expensive to make.

Another thing is, Kevin Fiege said the next solo Hulk movie would need to focus on Bruce Banner a lot. There is no Bruce Banner in Planet Hulk.

@batz That's actually not a bad idea, but I still think it would be too tricky.

We need a sequel to TIH. Bring in The Leader & Zzazzxx and/or Absorbing Man!

And Hell no to Red Hulk & A-Bomb! Too many damn Hulk characters. Wish Marvel didn't do that.

Why do a Planet HULK film when we can watch HULK run around the city smashing stuff. You know, because we've never seen that before.

With all the possibilities in Hulk mythos why would anyone want to settle on Planet Hulk is beyond me.
The Leader, Absorbing Man need to be done- I want to see those guys vs The Hulk
A rematch with Blonsky...well that's already happening.
