Whedon: Ruffalo is the Key to a Hulk Movie

Over the last month or two, there’s been a lot of talk surrounding a standalone Hulk movie, particularly one adapted from World War Hulk or Planet Hulk. Mark Ruffalo tweeted just yesterday that he wouldn’t be making another appearance as Bruce Banner until Marvel’s The Avengers 2.

Last week we caught wind of an interesting rumor regarding the future of Hulk in Marvel Studios‘ film projects.
