Ruffalo's Apparent MCU Return Is Reportedly Debunked

Following the publication of this story, Variety issued an update stating that, according to various sources, Ruffalo misspoke. They say the actor was merely agreeing that Captain America: Brave New World is one of Marvel's next movies, not confirming his role in it. It is said that he will not be in the movie after all. The rest of the story continues on as published.

How Hulk Already Fits Into Captain America: Brave New World

Despite this being primarily Sam's story, Captain America: Brave New World ironically also serves as a Hulk movie to some degree. Even though The Incredible Hulk came out nearly two decades ago, several key players are returning for Captain America: Brave New World. For the first time since 2008, Liv Tyler is reprising the role of Betty Ross, Bruce Banner's love interest, after playing the female lead in The Incredible Hulk during Edward Norton's time as the titular hero.

Tim Blake Nelson's Samuel Sterns, a.k.a. The Leader, is also making a comeback through Captain America: Brave New World, and it appears he will have a major role. Following William Hurt's tragic ing, Harrison Ford will continue Thunderbolt Ross' legacy by taking over for the late actor in the movie, where he is now serving as the U.S. President. All of these characters being involved suggests Bruce may have a crucial role to play alongside Sam.

Time will tell how extensive Hulk's storyline will be in Captain America: Brave New World, and it's shocking that Ruffalo's involvement wasn't revealed sooner. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how Bruce fits into the overall story. Once the first Captain America: Brave New World trailer is finally released, the MCU audience will hopefully get a better idea of what Marvel has in store for Ruffalo in this movie.
