Civil War Hulk in Civil War.

[Kirmit]

Feige has said Hulk will appear in several movies, just not his own , do you think he'll show up in Civil War and what role could he play?

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Bruce Banner? I think yes.
Hulk? I'm not sure yet.

How many is several? AOU. Infinity Part 1&2 is 3 movies. That could be considered several.

Don't know is my vote.

 

[Mike Murdock]

He was vague. He said other movies and explicitly mentioned the Avenger movies in a way that could be either seen to imply more movies than that or a reluctance to include more movies but wanting to sound big anyway.

I don't think he'll show up in Civil War because it seems bloated enough as is. Maybe he could be mentioned, but Banner is kind of his own thing here. The military wanting to use him as a weapon or control him has always existed and some law isn't going to change things. He'll probably go into hiding during the movie and Marvel saves money by not having to hire Ruffalo too.

I think there's a pretty good chance that Hulk is no longer on Earth at the end of AOU. The sources for the Planet Hulk rumors being attached to GOTG2 are the same ones who accurately predicted everything (except release dates) that was revealed in the press conference yesterday.

The only thing is he'd probably have to appear in Guardians (Inhumans being between Infinity makes it very difficult). Gunn has dismissed it.

 

[Iceman]

I'd expect he appears in one or 2 solos outside of appearing in all the Avengers films. As a founding Avenger he should definitely play a part in the Civil War.

Which one. It shouldn't be any of the origin stories as it will detract from the main character.

That leaves:
Cap 3 possible. But that would basically be an Avengers film.
Thor, if he needed someone to help him fight Ragnarok I'd prefer they use Hercules. Introduce the Olympians.
Guardians 2. Which would be the best and most interesting place for him. But Gunn has dismissed it.

Yeah, probably won't be in any of the origin films like you say and I doubt Thor either if it takes place mostly away from Earth. But after AoU there will be a 3 year gap till the 1st Infinity War so I guess he'll likely appear in at least one of Cap 3 & GOTG2 whatever Gunn has to say on the matter lol.

 

[Roose Bolton]

If he's in Cap 3, then it'll strictly be as Banner methinks.

 

[MakeMinesMarvel]

I think Hulk should not appear in Civil War he's to strong for most of tbe participants. Bruce Banner and Tony Stark are bff in the MCU. Well I think Doctor Strange and the Hulk should be close like tbey are in the comics. A Hulk/Hawkeye cameo wouldn't hurt Doctor Strange at all.

 

[Wildcard]

I'm with those voting "don't know" because it's kind of too early to tell. And some good points have been made...such as CA 3 already having enough going on & him being too damn strong to be a participant.

I think it's likely...just depends on what they cook up. If nothing else, we'll get a Bruce Banner appearance....assuming he's still on Earth.

Really, I'd like for him to get another film. The character is as popular as ever, due to get another surge from AoU so it'd be perfect right now.

 

[Silvermoth]

I actually think hulk might end up supporting iron man in this. I mean they're best buds in this and marvel isn't setting up that relationship accidentally plus there's no reason to assume the civil war in the movieverse will be about registration like in the comics

I don't think we'll get Hulk in Civil War. My idea is he won't show up until GOTG2.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I think Banner will be in GotG2, not C:CW.

The hints are that it will be registration. Just not secret identities.

 

[Kirmit]

I can see Banner having big problems registering/revealing to the world he's Hulk, people would constantly be scared of him.

 

[cph9fa]

It might not be realistic, but I can't shake the feeling that Banner might be involved with Dr. Strange to some degree.

 

[CoherentChaos]

If Bruce and Tony aren't completely broken up by the end of AoU, then the strain on their friendship that would manifest in Civil War would be the final nail.

I don't see him really siding with Tony on this. Nor would he be able to completely oppose him either. If anything, Bruce would be a neutral entity, perhaps trying to strike for a compromise between Steve and Tony. He'd likely be forced to choose a side near the climax, and my money's on him joining Steve.

Ultimately he'd never be pro-reg for one outstanding reason. He wouldn't want the Hulk to be weaponized. At least not yet (in the Indestructible run, he's working with SHIELD, but I don't think the MCU Bruce is anywhere close to that desperate).

Bruce is generally anti-government, because of the military forces wanting to poke and prod him so they can have unstoppable gamma soldiers. As soon as Tony starts sharing similar sentiments, their correspondence is going to be strained.

As for the Hulk, I'm sure they can come up with something worthy of his muscle in a fight scene. Especially if the government and their resources are being backed by Tony's intellect.

 

[JOE]

I can't see the Hulk showing up in Civil War... Just as Bruce Banner, yes.

I could see Hulk showing up in Ragnarok. That would be cool!

If the Hulk v. Hulkbuster fight affects Wakanda in any way then that may be one reason why Black Panther is getting involved.

Bruce may also be the focal point of a registration argument: What’s the point of registration if you (sometimes) can’t control your powers in the first place? What place do supers like Bruce have in a registered-super hero world? If Bruce stays on Earth during AOU then maybe CW is how he gets booted off world, and that could be the catalyst for Tony and Steve uniting in the end.

I don't see Cap and Tony agreeing that it's best to kick Hulk off the planet. I see Tony thinking (and doing) that, while Cap sticks up (as usual) for the little guy. Or in this case, the BIG guy. Cap would still believe in the humanity of Bruce Banner and be compassionate, seeking instead a way for Banner to get the Beast under control or even removed altogether, if necessary. Steve wouldn't consider killing, imprisoning, or banishing Bruce Banner an option. Ever.

 

[drod1985]

Sorry, didn't mean Tony and Steve agreeing to kick Bruce off the planet, I meant they'd unite together to try to prevent that. Perhaps the government decides its best to shoot Hulk off into space, and that causes Tony to turn from them to join Cap and try to save Bruce.

 

[fixxxer]

Doubt the Hulk will be a part of Civil War. The "Hulk goes off-world" scenario has come from too many credible sources to dismiss. Also, I think it's important to remember that the part about Hulk being a part of GOTG2 was not a rumor, but merely (logical) speculation based on the above piece of information. It sounded very logical to me too that that would segue perfectly into GOTG2, but Gunn shot that down in no uncertain terms.

If I were to bet, Hulk does indeed go off-world at the end of A:AOU and it's his (i.e. Banner's) own decision to do so. I really don't think it would make too much sense for Hulk to be a part of Civil War... he would shift the balance of power too far to the side of whichever faction he would end up on.

 

[cherokeesam]

Yeah, I'm willing to bet fairly substantially that Bruce *does* get kicked in AOU, and won't be around in CW.

However, I don't buy the theories that it's a self-imposed exile, or even that Ultron causes it.

I think Tony shoots him into space. With malice aforethought.

It would recreate the Illuminati angle from PH/WWH, without including extraneous characters (all of which just happen to be either at other studios, or who have yet to appear in the MCU). In other words, the onus for exile rests squarely on Tony's shoulders, as it should. Tony thinks he's doing the right thing by protecting the world from Hulk, but he's actually betraying his best friend. (Something that he's damn good at.)
