Mark Ruffalo Insists on One Condition for His Next Marvel Movie Role
- Mark Ruffalo, best known as the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has finally revealed the non-negotiable demand he has for his next appearance as Bruce Banner.
- The actor, who has played the green superhero for over a decade, says that Marvel needs to finally greenlight a solo Hulk film with a complete character arc, ending the character being sidelined to ensemble movies.
- Ruffalo is pushing for a darker, more emotional storyline that explores Bruce Banner's trauma and past, similar to the acclaimed 'Immortal Hulk' comic series, rather than just comedic relief.
- The star confirmed that he’s in active talks with Marvel Studios, but he will not sign on unless the script honors the Hulk's unique identity separate from Avengers and Thor crossovers.
- This demand comes amid fan campaigns for a standalone Hulk movie, with Ruffalo even suggesting he’d be open to a limited series on Disney+ if the film can't happen—but only with his creative control.
