Mark Ruffalo Hopes To Be Part Of Captain America: Civil War

Mark Ruffalo, like the rest of us, is hoping the Hulk pops up in Captain America: Civil War.

Ruffalo, who plays the almost unanimously favorited version of Bruce Banner/Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently opened up about his desire to be involved in the sure to be blockbuster, Civil War. "I don't know! I heard a rumor about that the other day," Ruffalo told The Daily Beast when asked if he would be a part of the film which is currently in production. "I haven't seen a script, nobody's told me, and I don't have dates. But I can only hope so!"

We're with you, Mark! And we're not alone, Ruffalo went on to share some of a conversation he and Robert Downey Jr. has recently, saying "I was talking to Robert Downey the other day, and he said, 'Ruffalo! I heard you're coming out here,' and I said, 'OK! I'll be there!'"

One more time - Ruffalo says Downey said, "I heard you were coming out here." Here, of course, being the Atlanta set of Civil War.

That sounds an awful lot like Downey, who plays the center piece of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark/Iron Man, knows something we might not. During the original Civil War Marvel comics run, the Hulk was out in space doing his Planet Hulk thing and while we don't have any signs of a Planet Hulk movie, it is possible the Hulk is out in space somewhere - that possibility came to life during Age of Ultron, maybe he's going to link up with the Guardians? That was shut down by Guardians director, James Gunn, when he said "[The Guardians] will not be teaming up with Hulk." Perhaps he was being coy, not directly saying Hulk won't be in Guardians 2, but only saying they won't be teaming up. Either way, both of those options seem pleasing and fitting to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's grand scheme.

Captain America: Civil War already packs an awe-inspiring cast. The characters will include the title man, Captain America, his for for the film, Iron Man, and additionally, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, War Machine, The Vision, Ant-Man, Falcon, Spider-Man, and even more. Do you think Civil War still needs the Hulk?

Would you rather see the Hulk pop up in Captain America: Civil War or Guardians of the Galaxy 2? Or do you think he's just gone missing after Avengers: Age of Ultron only to pop up somewhere completely different?
