MCU theory offers up a satisfying explanation for ignoring ‘The Incredible Hulk’

Despite releasing just six weeks after Iron Man launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Incredible Hulk became the unwanted stepchild of the franchise from the second Disney stepped in to purchase the comic book conglomerate in 2009, which is understandable when Universal retain the rights to distribute (and thus earn a ton of money) from any future solo movies.

Nonetheless, Bruce Banner has become a pivotal part of the mythology since Mark Ruffalo debuted in The Avengers 10 years ago, but for a long time it looked as though Edward Norton’s stint under the stretchy shorts would never be acknowledged again. In fact, eight whole years passed before The Incredible Hulk was overtly referenced as part of the MCU again, when William Hurt’s Thaddeus Ross returned in Captain America: Civil War, before making several additional appearances.
