Why A Solo Marvel Hulk Movie Is Incredibly Unlikely, According To Mark Ruffalo
A common complaint about the post-"Endgame" era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that so few of the original Avengers team are still around.
When it comes to how the MCU can recapture the vibes of its early years, it's hard not to wonder: why not make another Hulk movie? Mark Ruffalo's Hulk was in the first "Avengers" film and has appeared in countless MCU projects since then, but he's always been relegated to a supporting role. Why not put him in the lead? If a superhero as silly as "Ant-Man" can get three of his own movies, why can't Ruffalo's Hulk get one?

It's a similar situation to Spider-Man, a character whose film rights were sold to Sony in the '90s by a financially-struggling Marvel. Marvel may technically own Hulk's character, but the film would likely be distributed as a Universal Pictures film like the 2008 movie was. And while Spider-Man is considered a financially viable-enough character to be worth all these headaches, it's not clear if the Hulk is too.
In his GQ interview, Ruffalo continued, "There's been so many Hulk movies already, it's like, does anyone really want another one? But I'd love one, and I do think the audiences would be into it if we could crack the nut of it."

Why does Marvel never make a solo Hulk movie?
In a interview with GQ, Ruffalo explained that a Hulk-led movie was unlikely because of a distribution rights issue: "I don't know if you know the story of that, but it's not really owned by Marvel. It's a Universal property. I don't know if it'll ever really come to be, honestly."It's a similar situation to Spider-Man, a character whose film rights were sold to Sony in the '90s by a financially-struggling Marvel.
