Ruffalo Reacts to Hulk’s Role in Spider-Man Rumors
In a recent interview, Ruffalo responded to speculation about Bruce Banner/Hulk returning in the upcoming Spider-Man film. He stated:
“I don’t know. I’m still waiting to hear. I haven’t read a script yet….If it does happen, it would be incredible.”

Reflecting on a 15-Year Journey and Hulk’s Role in Spider-Man
Looking back on his 15-year journey playing the character, Ruffalo shared:
“I grew up with it, and it changed my life in the best ways. Each time it’s this new director, a new world. It’s so exciting and there’s nothing else like it. Maybe a TV show, but a TV show doesn’t change its whole world from one director to the next, and that’s what’s so exciting about it.”
The Challenge of New Directors and Worlds
Ruffalo’s reflection emphasizes how unique the MCU is, with each project offering a different creative vision. This allows for fresh storytelling, dynamic character growth, and memorable cinematic moments that keep fans engaged.

While Ruffalo did not confirm any plot details, fans are excited to imagine how this version of Hulk could appear in the film.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day – What to Expect
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon.

Fans can expect suspense, emotional depth, and unexpected Marvel crossovers. Consequently, speculation about Hulk’s role has intensified, keeping audiences eager to see how Bruce Banner’s character could be integrated into Spider-Man’s world.
Integrating Hulk into Spider-Man’s story would further strengthen the interconnectedness of the MCU.
