Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus is back for another Q&A, and in his typically brief way, he’s talking this time about what we could possibly expect from a long-time fan favorite Avenger (hint: it’s something we’ve all been thinking about since Phase 1).

So what is it that we might be getting? A legitimately dangerous Hulk again! And he might actually kill somebody this time. While that’s a shame, audiences being able to watch a real Hulk on the big screen again has been a long time coming.
As the Q&A kicked off, user BraveFire asked Perez, “Can you tease us with anything new about Savage Hulk/Bruce Banner in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Doomsday?” Perez responded with, “Hulk is scarier than ever before. He might even kill someone.” Well, we do love hearing about a potentially terrifying Hulk!
What Does This Mean For The Future Of The Hulk?
When asked, Perez said that things were “still in development” when it came to anything for the Hulk post Secret Wars, and when prompted about potential stand-alone films for the Hulk and Black Panther villain Namor (Tenoch Huerta), he simply said, “not yet.”
Recently, the mini-series Marvel Zombies did give Hulk a massive power boost in their take on how the world is saved from a zombie Thanos—thanks to T’Challa sacrificing himself, only to unwittingly endanger the world again by destroying the Infinity Stones in the process and unleashing all their power once more. In this version of the story, Bruce Banner harnesses the power of the Infinity Stones, thereby using the Hulk as a battery or conduit for this insane level of power. The finale of the mini-series shows us that the Hulk now anchors the same power that threatens the world, requiring an incredible amount of strength to do so.
Will we ever see the Hulk with this level of power in live action? Probably not, considering everything that the MCU would have to change and retcon to get us to a point even similar to the one we see in Marvel Zombies. Though if they wanted to introduce a version of The Scarlett Witch that was turning everyone into zombies, we wouldn’t complain. But after years of Hulk being used as comic relief, it is cool to imagine the sort of power that we could see from him—especially from a version of the Hulk that is willing to embody the inherent violence, power, and dangerous nature within him.
