- Smashing Loki — The Avengers (2012) If there was one moment throughout the 2012 summer movie season that made people jump from their seats and cheer, it was this one.
- Hulk vs. Thor — Thor: Ragnarok (2017) There are a couple of really solid Hulk moments in Thor: Ragnarok, and the vast majority of them very strongly mix comedy and action.
- I'm Always Angry — The Avengers (2012) The battle of New York is the most important event of the MCU not called "The Blip." But, there's a pretty darn good chance the title characters in The Avengers wouldn't have conquered Loki's Chitauri army without the assistance of one particularly incredible member.
- General Ross' Forces vs. Hulk on Culver University's Campus — The Incredible Hulk (2008) The best action sequence in The Incredible Hulk isn't the final one (though it is a close call), it's the middle one.

Yes, Thunderbolt Ross Proves It Is.
As much as it may be hard to believe, despite not receiving a direct sequel,The Incredible Hulkis indeed canon in the larger scheme of the MCU. The contents and storyline of the film are referenced in subtle ways throughout the MCU films over the years. The most apparent instance referencing the film is William Hurt reprising his role as General Thunderbolt Ross in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Prior to that, Avengershad Bruce Banner recall the eve...
Yes, And He’ll Be Played By Harrison Ford.
General Thunderbolt Ross remains crucial to the Hulk’s lore. This larger-than-life military character developed a personal vendetta against Banner’s Hulk. Ross was played by Sam Elliot in Ang Lee’s Hulkand then later portrayed by William Hurt in the MCU. Hurt’s passing in real life left many curious if his MCU counterpart would retire, along with the storylines that accompany him. Recently, Harrison Ford has signed on to portray Thunderbolt Ross, who plays a major role in the upcoming Captain...
Yes, He’s A Major Character In She-Hulk Attorney At Law.
The lack of solo Hulk movies also means that many of the supporting characters and villains that the movie teases have unfortunately fallen to the wayside. Tim Roth’s Emil Blonsky, but more notably his monstrous Abomination alter ego, make for satisfying villains audiences want more of. RELATED: 10 Most Underrated Hulk Battles Abomination had been waiting in the wings for more than a decade until his brief return in 2021’s Shang-Chi and Blonsky’’s considerably more prominent role in She-Hulk:...
Yes, He Can.
Hulk’s sliding scale of intelligence has been up for debate throughout his early run in the comics. The MCU has recently gotten around this through Banner’s evolved “Smart Hulk” state, where he comfortably engages in fluent, sophisticated speech. The Hulk’s previous cinematic depictions have been quite selective with Hulk’s verbage, that is, if he says anything at all. 2008’s The Incredible Hulk proves Banner can communicate in his Hulk form, but barely. He only says six words— and three thou...
Yes, It Will Be Addressed In Captain America: New World Order.
One of the biggest hanging threads that The Incredible Hulk left behind and audiences had all but given up on was Samuel Sterns' transformation into the villainous Leader. Jessica Gao, the showrunner for She-Hulk, originally had plans for Time Blake Nelson’s Leader to return in her series, only for the character to not make it into the final version. It’s comforting that the MCU did plan to provide some closure on this front, even if it didn’t happen. There are now claims that The Leader will...
An American Werewolf In London.
There are several superhero stories that could be considered examples of "body horror" under the right circumstances, and the transformative tale of the Hulk certainly qualifies. 2008's Incredible Hulkemphasizes the pain that Bruce experiences when he undergoes his strenuous transformation into the Hulk. RELATED: 10 Strongest Characters The Hulk Has Beaten Director Louis Leterrier drew direct inspiration from John Landis' An American Werewolf in London, specifically Rick Baker's iconic werewo...
Yes, "The Consultant" Establishes This.
In the post-credits scene, Tony Stark is seen filling a drunk Ross in on the Avengers Initiative that he's supposedly working on. This muddles the continuity seen in Iron Man 2 where Captain Nick Fury actively removes Stark from that Initiative in the end. Yet Stark is being used to recruit people for the team inIncredible Hulk. Shockingly, this is still canon and not retconned, thanks to the later-released short film one-shot, The Consultant. Agents Coulson and Sitwelldecide to use Stark as...
Yes, They're Called Back In The Avengers.
One of the more memorable moments inThe Avengers is when Bruce Banner recants a chilling story where he admits that at his lowest moment he attempted to end his life. For a mostly lighthearted popcorn flick, this is an incredibly dark moment, but it also calls back to a deleted scene in The Incredible Hulk. The Incredible Hulk's original alternate opening sees Bruce Banner in the arctic where he, as described in The Avengers, takes a gun to his mouth and fires. Rather than perish, his Hulk pe...
Yes, Hidden In A Deleted Scene.
In the same deleted scene that's described above, the Hulk, in a huff of anger, smashes all the ice surrounding him. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment hidden in the left corner of the screen during the ice destruction, viewers can see Captain America's suit and costume engulfed in a block of ice. RELATED: 10 Times She-Hulk Was Stronger Than The Incredible Hulk Obviously, Hulk being the one to break Steve Rogers out of the ice contradicts with how Captain America was canonically found in th...
Yes, According To The Russos.
Despite always being Bruce Banner's go-to love interest and playing a pivotal role in his character development in the comics, Betty Ross's presence has only been felt in The Incredible Hulk. As far as fans are concerned, it's her only appearance in the MCU. That's not quite true, even if it's the last time she's actually "seen." In an interview with The Huffington Post, Avengers: Infinity War andEndgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo confirmed that Betty Ross was one of the characters who k...

- Showcased Bruce Banner Growing To Live With The Hulk. The growth of the Hulk on his own and the growth of Bruce Banner on his own are important, but they also have to learn to live with each other.
- Edward Norton As Bruce Banner Is On Another Level. Fans agree, fairly unanimously, that Mark Ruffalo was excellent casting for Bruce Banner if the character had to be recast.
- Subtly Tied The Hulk Into The MCU. Much like Iron Man bringing in Nick Fury at the end to introduce Tony Stark into the Avengers Initiative, The Incredible Hulk did some important legwork tying Bruce Banner into the rest of the MCU.
Nov 9, 2023 · Fans have scrutinized the movie, and while most fans know a lot about it, there's always something new to learn about Marvel's giant green monster and some of the impressive battle scenes he's been in over the years.
