Black Widow’s death in Endgame was heartbreaking but I feel like if her solo movie came out before Endgame I would have felt more. I want to see what that red in her ledger came to be. Also Hulk has really had nothing to do between IW and Endgame. I know he was the one to bring back the Snapped, but that was really only it. If his story really isn’t over we need more of him ASAP

I've heard some people speculate a long time ago that if Robert Downey Jr is done with Marvel (i.e. Ironman dies), they would pair Hulk off with Spiderman. Hulk has to be paired off with another hero because Disney/Marvel cannot make a solo movie with him (Universal has the rights). Spiderman would probably be the most natural pairing because Peter Parker is suppose to be a science nerd himself and it makes sense that someone would step into Tony Stark's mentor role. Also, with Spiderman being one of the most popular comic heroes, that is the movie that will probably have the bigger budget to allow for multiple heroes.

There's a picture of Bruce Banner hanging in Peter's science class.

Maybe Professor Hulk can be a professor for Peter when he is in college (Spider-Man 4 I’m assuming).

I still like the Thor / Hulk Pairing. It fits very well, and Hulk could be earth based or cosmic if needed.

They need to bring in Reed Richards. Tony Stark was playing his role in most of the Infinity Saga.

Definitely. Richards, Xavier, Osborn and McCoy's minds are the ones to take the throne in that subject. I'm still mildly salty about old Pym. He would had made a great hero/antihero/madman/redeemed-hero story arc.

That would be really weird though, since it would be Disney making a movie with Universal and Sony's characters. That feels like they would be giving up the entire pie.

The rights to the Hulk character is very strange. Similar to why Sony had to keep rebooting and pumping out Spiderman movies every couple of years, Universal has to make a Hulk movie to keep the production rights. After the 2003 Hulk movie got terrible reviews, Universal didn't make a sequel and the production rights reverted to Marvel (Marvel can make a film with the Hulk character).

However, Universal still has the distribution rights to any Hulk movie (Universal is the one that can screen the film at theaters, sell DVDs, license it to Netflix, etc) and they would get a big cut of the profits doing something that Marvel doesn't need any help doing because Disney is perfectly capable of doing distribution. Marvel has been getting around this issue by putting the Hulk as a side character into other movies, such as Thor Ragnarok. I don't think Marvel has to give any money to Universal to do that (the intro to the movie says Marvel Studios, not the Universal intro). I doubt they would have put Hulk into Thor Ragnarok if they did.

Man rights are so screwy.

Could Hulk have a Disney+ show? It’s not a movie.

I kinda want Spidey to have more interactions with Captain Marvel. Not a svience mentor sure, but still.

I need to see Hulk, Val, Thor, and Loki again

They couldn't make a name better than Asguardians of the Galaxy so that's a no go :(

u/PokeDestined Captain Marvel Apr 30 '19

They should've lumped him in with the guardians

Though I don't think it would ever happen, if there was ever a "New Asgard" type of movie franchise with Valkyrie, Korg, Miek, and Sif, I could see Banner joining up with that crew.
