The Hulk Will Reportedly Get A Scary Upgrade In MCU’s Phase 6

Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk is expected to become much more intimidating in future Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Since first appearing in 2008, the Hulk has gone through several transformations. Recently, he’s been portrayed as the more controlled “Professor Hulk,” which some fans found less exciting. It seems the wilder, more destructive side of the Hulk – known from the comics – will be making a comeback in a couple of upcoming MCU movies.

A reliable source, Alex Perez, says the Hulk will be much more frightening in his future appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically in the upcoming *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* and *Avengers: Doomsday* films. This follows earlier reports that Hulk will transform into his truly terrifying “Savage Hulk” form in *Spider-Man 4* (coming in 2026), and will be one of the major challenges Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will face.

During a recent Q&A on The Cosmic Circus, Marvel writer Alex Perez hinted that the Hulk will be portrayed as particularly frightening in Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, potentially even committing a fatal act in a future film.

Could you share any hints about what’s happening with Savage Hulk/Bruce Banner in the ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ and ‘Doomsday’ storylines?

A: “Hulk is scarier than ever before. He might even kill someone.”

Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk has been unusually restrained recently, successfully managing his angrier, more destructive side. That’s why fans are so excited about reports that this is changing – it sounds like they’ll finally get to see a version of the character they haven’t seen in a long time.

Rumors suggest Hulk will appear in Destin Daniel Cretton’s *Spider-Man 4* as either a villain or a character with villainous tendencies. He isn’t expected to be the main bad guy, but reports indicate a conflict with one of the film’s powerful villains could trigger a chase scene through New York City involving Spider-Man.

Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner/Hulk wasn’t included in the first list of actors announced for *Avengers: Doomsday*, but recent reports suggest he will be in the movie. The Russo Brothers are directing the film.

Fans Have Been Itching For a Scary Hulk Again

Although it was exciting to see Professor Hulk appear in *Avengers: Endgame*, and to watch Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner begin to accept his inner Hulk, it’s been a while since fans have seen the character fully transform and unleash his rage.

Fans have been eagerly waiting to see a more powerful and destructive Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A large-scale action sequence featuring Hulk would deliver the kind of spectacular excitement that Marvel films are known for.

It looks like the quiet period regarding the Hulk may be over, with *Spider-Man 4* on the way, and possibly *Avengers: Doomsday* after that.

It’s exciting to think Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk will be back to his powerful, rage-filled self, and this time, he’ll be even more destructive than before.

As a critic, I’ve seen a lot of Hulks, and this version – they’re calling it ‘Savage Hulk’ – is truly unchained. It’s a Hulk with absolutely no self-control, which means we lose everything that makes the character a reluctant hero. Forget those moments where he *tries* to hold back, like when he fought alongside the Avengers against Ultron – this Hulk just unleashes pure rage.

It’ll be exciting to see this new take on the MCU hero in theaters, and how characters like Spider-Man respond to such a powerful and unpredictable force being unleashed.
