The epic Hulk moment we deserved but didn’t get in Avengers: Infinity War

The Hulk wasn’t exactly front and center during Avengers: Infinity War. In fact, I feel like we barely saw him after Heimdall manages to send him away before Thanos kills him. After that, it’s pretty much just Bruce Banner in his Hulkbuster armor. There were so many moments we wanted from the Hulk, and I think many of us were disappointed to have gotten so few of them.

Now, we now have a little glimpse into an epic moment that could have been. Marvel Studios Head of Visual Development Ryan Meinerding shared this concept art on his Instagram:

My oh my! Just look at him breaking out of the Hulkbuster armor! If only we could have seen that go down in the movie. Sigh, if only.

Basically, we see the Hulk at the end of Infinity War during the final battle against Thanos, busting out eager to do some damage. The Hulk never did get this kind of cathartic moment in that movie. By the time Avengers: Endgame came around, Bruce Banner had figured out a way to have the best of both worlds: he could kick ass as the Hulk while still being his brainy scientist self. It was quite the accomplishment for the guy who couldn’t seem to break free of the Hulk persona during Thor: Ragnarok.

While there aren’t any prospects for a standalone Hulk movie, I’m really hoping he makes a cameo (or even snags a recurring role) in Disney+’s upcoming She-Hulk series. Wouldn’t it be great if they took it right out of the comics and showed Banner giving his cousin Jennifer Susan Walters, aka She-Hulk, blood after she has an injury? And that’s how she acquires her Hulk powers?
