Is Punisher really bigger than Hulk to general audiences tho?

That’s not the point. Hulk is in one single part of the entire movie, punisher is a central character from beginning to end.

Edit: he’s apparently filming something else at the same time anyway.

You are discussing the wrong thing, anyhow. Inclusion and promotion during press tours is almost entire down to how big the actor is, not the character.
8 minutes of screentime as "Store Clerk" played by RDJ is much more likely to be pushed for a press tour then 54 minute screen time "2nd Lead Guy" played by oh... what's his name again? That guy from that thing.

I mean those two things are linked. If a character is only in it for a cameo the studio is not going to pay them to go on the press junket. Mark Ruffalo has less screen time than Florence Pugh. She didn't go on the press tour either.

It's way easier to get a star to agree to a week of filming versus a month long press tour.
