The giant green guy, who also sometimes goes by the name Bruce Banner (don’t mention puny Banner) was last seen soaring into the sky in a Quinjet at the end of Avengers: Age Of Ultron. That’s last seen, of course – the plane was later found crashed with no one aboard, so it’s entirely possible he did find himself in space and didn’t just leap out to go and visit Tahiti, which we're sure he’s heard is a magical place.
Currently, the rumour sources say that Hulk will be seen fighting alongside Asgard’s finest son (Chris Hemsworth) as Thor faces down what is essentially the Asgardian apocalypse and likely more trouble from Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, currently impersonating his step-father (and Thor’s dad) Odin. There is also word on another distant planet, not one we’ve seen before, that ties into this, which is already driving speculation that it could see Marvel using some elements of the much-demanded Planet Hulk storyline, which the company has denied in the past.
Assuming this actually pans out – and James Gunn has already said there will be no Hulk in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 – it could be a fun combo, as Hulk and Thor have always had an interesting team dynamic. Working up new solo Hulk films have seemingly been a bane in Marvel’s existence, so pairing him with Thor is a potential solution for that, and if Ragnarok is as important as has been said for setting up the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (there have been comparisons to Captain America: The Winter Soldier), why not have Big Green involved?
Whatever happens with Ragnarok, What We Do In The Shadows co-writer/director Taika Waititi is in negotiations to call the shots and the film.
