Did Mark Ruffalo Debunk Rumors Of A Planned ‘Planet Hulk’ Film?
There was quite a bit of buzz when it was rumored that Marvel was planning on doing a live-action adaptation of Planet Hulk as part of their “Phase Three” plans. It now appears according to Bruce Banner himself, actor Mark Ruffalo, that Marvel currently has no plans at the moment for a stand alone Hulk film. Ruffalo tweeted:
A lot of folks have been asking about the Next Hulk. The next time you see my Hulk it will be in the Avengers2. No plans for stand alone.

I am not giving up on another stand alone HULK. But it’s not in the works right now. One never knows what the future will bring.

While this doesn’t mean that there’s no chance of ever seeing a Planet Hulk film, it definitely does put the possibility of it being a part of Marvel’s “Phase Three” plans further in doubt. There’s definitely a chance that Marvel could indeed have someone working on a Planet Hulk script as an option that they could pursue, but it doesn’t necessarily mean we will ever see it. We’re just going to have to wait until 2015 to see what Marvel has in store for the future of the green behemoth.
