World War Hulk (2025)

Marvel Studios

Bruce Banner has been prevalent in the MCU ever since the franchise's inception, and the character's most exciting story, World War Hulk, has been heavily rumored to be finally in the works. The Hulk first entered the MCU in 2008 with The Incredible Hulk, one of the earliest Marvel Studios movies, though the character looks a lot different in the film, as the titular hero . Four years later, in The Avengers, the actor was replaced by Mark Ruffalo. While the character hasn't had a second solo movie in the MCU, Ruffalo became a major player in the series all the way up to and beyond Avengers: Endgame.The Hulk is one of the few original Avengers to have a role in the Multiverse Saga. Not only that, but The Incredible Hulk has surprisingly become one of the most important MCU Phase 1 movies, as Abomination returned in two MCU projects in 2022: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Meanwhile, The Incredible Hulk's The Leader will soon make a return appearance as the main antagonist of Captain America: New World Order. With all the returning Hulk-related characters and Bruce's own appearance in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, a lot has been hinted at regarding the possibility of a World War Hulk movie.
