Mark Ruffalo

We break down the scene that should have solidified Hulk’s role.

Listen to the Hulk’s side of things.

The actor says he didn’t know if he survived or not until he watched the movie.

While Cap and Iron Man and all their earth-bound super-friends were tearing each other apart in Civil War, Thor and Hulk were off minding their own damn business because, unlike their pals, these guys are actually civil. (Okay, maybe not Hulk.) That business is primarily fighting a new villain hellbent on intergalactic domination, and to do so, Thor must assemble a team of his very own. And that team is the subject of a new featurette for Thor: Ragnarok, titled “Meet the ‘Revengers’!”

The Avengers unite for a one-night only event to take on hurricane relief, thanks to Black Widow herself.

I’d like to think I’m not prone to hyperbole, so believe me when I say I’m putting all my remaining Marvel eggs in the Thor: Ragnarok basket. Sure, I’ve more-or-less enjoyed most of the movies in the franchise  —  this year’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, for example, might be one of their best yet  —  but superhero movies are like anything else: the more you ingest, the less you enjoy it the next time around. If Marvel is going to continue making these movies until the sun explodes, then I’m ready for things to get a little bit weird, and Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi is the right person to deliver.

Last year, Mark Ruffalo hinted that Thor: Ragnarok might finally let Bruce Banner and the Hulk interact with each other on the big screen. It’s something that’s occasionally happened in the Marvel comics, but we’ve yet to see the MCU take a crack at it — likely because it requires a bit of clever thinking: not only do they need to cook up a cool way to present it to audiences, but it needs to come from an organic place. That place may very well be Ragnarok.

If The Avengers feel like one big, slightly dysfunctional family, it's because they are. And that applies to off-screen as well as on. Playing off that chemistry, the cast of Avengers: Age of Ultron — Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner — appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and played a rousing game of Family Feud.
