Could this be the fate of Hulk in Avengers: Age of Ultron?


Rumors are starting to roll around that have the potential to be some big spoilers for Hulk in the upcoming Marvel film Avengers: Age of Ultron. So if you do not want to read potential spoilers then I suggest you stop reading here.

Last chance to stop reading...

Recent rumors of a Hulk stand alone film featuring the "Planet Hulk" story line have been denied by actor Mark Ruffalo but it appears that he could be telling the truth while still leading fans off his trail at the same time. Let's take a look at how his denial could be both truth and a lie.

Drew McWeeny from HitFix reported the news on the Hulk that shows the character will be getting more focus as the Marvel Cinematic Universe veers off from the Marvel Comic Universe. Here is what McWeeny stated about the Hulk in the upcoming Avengers film:
"Without giving away why and how, let's look at the state of things for Bruce Banner at the end of "Age Of Ultron." Banner continues to play a key role in things in this movie, and when the final war with Ultron spills onto the battlefield and out of the virtual realm, he has a major part to play. Unfortunately, that ends with him onboard a Quin jet on his way off the planet, with no way to immediately turn things around. He's going to have to ride out the trip. It's pre-programmed and he can't stop it."
McWeeney continues and makes some pretty interesting speculations that could possibly be true!
"Here's where I'd wager his spaceship is headed: wherever the Guardians of the Galaxy are located. If I was a betting man, I'd say there will be no Hulk solo film as part of Phase Three. Instead, Banner's ship will take him to another planet, where he will end up meeting the Guardians and having an adventure with them. Hulk will definitely come out to play a few times. I suspect we'll see some sequences that very much feel like they're part of the Planet Hulk story, but that the larger story will be about the Guardians finding a way to get Banner home, only to end up going with him. That would move a big piece of the puzzle into place to get Thanos looking back at the Earth in time for the third "Avengers" film."
If all this ends up being true I would be very happy. I'd love to see Hulk gain some more focus and this would be a great pull for the Guardians to join the battlefront on Earth. Most fans expected Iron Man to be the connection but I'd be perfectly happy with Hulk.

This news has me really excited for the film. Are you excited for this possible story for Hulk?

Avengers: Age of Ultron will be in theaters on May 1, 2015.
