Plus it has been years since they made a standalone Hulk film -- don't the rights revert to Marvel? I guess it depends on the terms, which might not be public.

The issue with the Hulk is that the rights are complicated - Marvel does, in fact, have the rights to use the character in whatever they want. However, Universal holds the rights to distribute any Hulk-centric movies, and negotiations just haven't gone well. So, we keep seeing him in supporting roles, but not starring roles.

It's such a shame, the MCU version of the Hulk is a really well-rounded character. I'd have loved to see where they could take him in his own movie.

Beyond the distribution rights issue there is also the issue of how to tell a convincing 2 hour Hulk story in the MCU - you either revert to the Nortonesque Hulk v Banner as a psychological ‘monster’ movie or a carry on the BannerHulk buddy scenario theyve taken us to.

Because of the light comic tone of the MCU I actually think having the Hulk as a co-star is the better option for him.

Or, y'know, properly explore his journey from one to the other. The whole "that's my secret - I'm always angry" bit in the first Avengers movie and him subsequently being more in-control as the Hulk really opened the door to telling stories in which the Hulk wasn't just the rage-fuelled loose cannon. Being able to see that journey instead of just the brief edited highlights is what would have made for a compelling movie or two.

Wouldn't mind seeing him win a fight for once. I think the last fight he won against a named character was Loki in the first Avengers film. Since then he's been beaten up by Iron Man, Thor, Thanos, and then spent some films refusing to show up, spent the final Thanos battle just lifting a big rock, and now he's all placid. I still don't feel like he's actually been unleashed yet (except vs unnamed goons, and everybody smashes them). He loses more fights than Worf!

I think Fenris counts as a named character, even if he doesn't exactly have any lines.
