Another ‘World War Hulk’ Movie Rumor Is Going Around, Should We Believe This One?

Take this with a healthy dose of gamma-radiated salt, but a new rumor from GWW says that Marvel Studios has a World War Hulk movie in active development. Honestly these Hulk movie rumors pop up so often that it’s hard to put stock in any of them, and that includes this one.

The site speculates that production could begin as early as next year. World War Hulk was the followup storyline to Planet Hulk, which saw the big green guy blasted off to the gladiatorial world of Sakaar. Sound familiar? Yeah, aspects of it were used in Thor: Ragnarok, including some of the characters like Miek and Korg.  In World War Hulk, he returns to Earth and seeks revenge on his friends who exiled him in the first place.

It’s clear that Marvel has plans for Hulk going forward, but nothing suggests World War Hulk is what they’re aiming for. Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner was seen at the end of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and he will play a part in the upcoming She-Hulk series.

My best guess is that someday these rumors will come true, even in a small way, and the folks who have been spreading them for YEARS will feel vindicated.
