Summary
Following recent speculation, newMCUfan art imagines Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth going toe-to-toe with the Hulk inDeadpool & Wolverine. It’s known that Phase 5’s upcomingDeadpool & Wolverinewill feature a huge number of cameos, which will likely include returning characters from both the MCU and Fox’sX-Menfranchise. Given his connections to both Deadpool and Wolverine in Marvel Comics, there are suspicions thatBruce Banner’s Hulk could appear inDeadpool & Wolverine, which could set up one of the MCU’s most-wanted battles.
While many may want to see the Hulk battle Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, adapting Wolverine’s first Marvel Comics appearance,the green Avenger has also come to blows with Deadpool many times over the years. Deadpool and the Hulk’s epic spar has now been imagined in gruesome art shared bybosslogic.
The art imagines the Hulk easily taking down Deadpool, tearing limb from body, head from neck, and, apparently, eye from head. This is tame in comparison to their fights in Marvel Comics, but could be more bloody in the MCU, depending on whichHulk appears inDeadpool & Wolverine.
Every Cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine Explained
Deadpool & Wolverine is packed to the brim with cameos from across the entire run of Marvel films, combining the numerous timelines together.
Which Versions Of The Hulk Could Appear In Deadpool & Wolverine?
Of course, the most obvious choice for which Hulk could appear inDeadpool & Wolverinewould be Mark Ruffalo’s long-running iteration. However,Ruffalo’s version of the Hulkhas been through huge changes in the MCU, and the magic of the multiverse means he could return from any point in his timeline.This could bring back Smart Hulk,Thor: Ragnarok’sgladiator Hulk,Avengers: Age of Ultron’stroubled soul, orThe Avengers'“always angry"monster. There have been calls for the “savage” Hulk to return, so this could happen inDeadpool & Wolverine.
Mark Ruffalo was not the first actor to portray the Hulk in live-action, so it’s possible thatDeadpool & Wolverinecould bring back a previous version of the character. This could mark the return ofEdward Norton’s version of the Hulkfrom 2008’sThe Incredible Hulk. Set in the MCU, this version wasn’t dissimilar to Ruffalo’s interpretation, though was perhaps more brutal during his battle with the Abomination.It’s highly unlikely Norton would reprise the role, given his and Marvel boss Kevin Feige’s very public icy relationship.
If not Edward Norton, perhapsEric Bana could reprise his role of Bruce Banner’s Hulkfrom Ang Lee’sHulkmovie from 2003. Despite being negatively received, enough time seems to have passed that many now want Bana to return as the Hulk, though the actor has persistently denied his involvement inDeadpool & Wolverine. Perhaps Lou Ferrigno, who portrayed the Hulked-out Bruce Banner in the 1970s series,The Incredible Hulk, and even voiced the Hulk in the MCU’s early projects, would even be willing to return as his green-painted version of the Hulk.
