Over a year ago, a rumor began to circulate that Marvel Studios was planning a “Planet Hulk” feature film for Mark Ruffalo to star in. It was quickly debunked by director Joss Whedon as “nonsense,” but it just won’t go away. Now, MTV sat down with Ruffalo and asked him if that particular storyline could sustain a film, which he seemed eager to dismiss.
“‘Planet Hulk?’ I don’t think that’s the way to go yet,” he said. “I think you need more Banner. The whole thing is just him as Hulk, on a planet, fighting other gladiators.”
Ruffalo has said very recently that Marvel Studios is considering another solo film for the giant green rage monster, but there’s not even a “skeletal version” of what it could be. What would you like to see in a new Hulk solo film?
Mark Ruffalo and The Hulk can next be seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron, which will hit theaters on May 1, 2015.
