Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Savage Hulk Return Just Became Even More Likely

by

There’s been a lot of talk that the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie will bring the Savage Hulk back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and recent news suggests this might actually happen. The Savage Hulk is the particularly aggressive and powerful form of the Hulk, previously seen in The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton and in some of Mark Ruffalo’s first appearances as the character.

The Hulk’s story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has shown us many facets of his personality. Eventually, Bruce Banner learned to merge his human and Hulk sides. This came to fruition in the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame, resulting in the creation of ‘Smart Hulk.’ Behind the scenes, Bruce found a way to stay in Hulk form constantly, retaining all of the Hulk’s strength without the usual rage, because Banner was always in control. This dramatically altered the very nature of the Hulk character.

The transformation into Smart Hulk, and the fact that it wasn’t shown on screen, caused a lot of debate among Marvel fans. While Bruce Banner has appeared as both human and Smart Hulk since then, we haven’t seen his classic, most beloved form – the Savage Hulk – in live-action for seven years. That might be about to change.

Okay, so “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is shaping up to be packed with familiar faces. We already knew Tom Holland was back as Spidey, but now it looks like Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk are joining the fun! And the Hulk situation is especially interesting. For ages, fans have been speculating about seeing Professor Hulk revert to his classic, more… savage form. Theories have run wild – everything from Spider-Man villains like Mister Negative or Tombstone being behind it, to a heroic intervention. Well, let me tell you, those rumors are gaining serious traction, and it looks like we might actually see it happen!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Toy Line Teases Savage Hulk’s MCU Return

Hasbro recently showed ScreenRant its new Spider-Man toy line, and it includes several items featuring the Hulk, specifically portrayed as his more aggressive “Savage Hulk” persona. These toys, like the Marvel Savage Smash Hulk figure and a talking Savage Hulk mask, suggest that this powerful version of the Hulk will play a significant role in the upcoming Spider-Man movie.

This scene would tie into footage from the Spider-Man: Brand New Day set with Mark Ruffalo. The video shows Bruce Banner on a stretcher, looking around, while Damage Control agents in tactical gear walk by. Paramedics are also present, attending to Banner.

The recent set video has fueled speculation about a return to the Savage Hulk persona. It appears Bruce Banner is recovering from an injury or experience he doesn’t remember, which is suggested by his confusion. This could mean someone is manipulating him into transforming and causing destruction again, potentially in New York. The new Spider-Man: Brand New Day toy line from Hasbro further supports this idea.

How Could Savage Hulk Return In Spider-Man: Brand New Day?

There’s a popular rumor that Sadie Sink, known for her role in Stranger Things, might be playing Jean Grey in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie. While this hasn’t been confirmed, fans speculate that her character could use Jean Grey’s psychic powers to influence Bruce Banner and allow the Savage Hulk to emerge.

The initial trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day shows an elderly woman and Damage Control workers being controlled by a hidden character, potentially Jean Grey. This could set the stage for a return of the Savage Hulk to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If actress Sydney Sweeney isn’t cast as the X-Men hero, the mysterious figure seen in the trailer might be the one bringing the Savage Hulk back.

It’s possible Tombstone is secretly hiring someone to cause trouble. However, regardless of what’s happening behind the scenes, it looks like fans will finally get to see a truly enraged and aggressive Hulk in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
