Although it won’t be happening as I expected it to, Captain America: Brave New World seems to finally be addressing major criticisms with the Hulk in the MCU.

As one of the MCU’s original superheroes, Bruce Banner’s Hulk has had plenty of time to evolve and change over the years. Edward Norton debuted as Bruce Banner in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, while Mark Ruffalo has become more synonymous with the role, and has seen the biggest transformations. However, I’m one of many who haven’t received all of these changes to the Hulk positively.

Because of film rights disputes, the Hulk unfortunately hasn’t been able to embark on a solo adventure since The Incredible Hulk. However, his appearances in other heroes’ projects have featured some remarkable developments for the character, but some of these have been pretty controversial.

I have enjoyed seeing Bruce Banner come to terms with his two personas over the years, but enough’s enough, I want to see the so-called “Savage Hulk” return to the MCU. Interestingly, it seems Phase 5’s Captain America: Brave New World might make this possible.
