Mark Ruffalo's Hulk Returns in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'

A-lister Mark Ruffalo is in final discussions to reclaim the mantle of Hulk for the upcoming 'Spider-Man' film installment. Fresh reports from The Hollywood Reporter hint at a reunion for Ruffalo with his historic role as Bruce Banner, or the Hulk, soon.

The 57-year-old veteran actor and Hollywood favorite initially brought the green giant to life in 2012's Marvel hit 'The Avengers' and has maintained a consistent presence in Marvel films thereafter. His return will feature in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', led by familiar faces Tom Holland and Zendaya, under the helming of director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As anticipation builds for the film's release on July 31, 2026, fans are left to speculate plot details, tightly guarded by the production team. Joining the cast in key roles are Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, and Liza Colon-Zayas, with Ruffalo's recent work, 'Mickey 17', having hit theaters earlier this year.
