Hulk: No Way Home – Eric Bana Breaks Silence on Mark Ruffalo, Edward Norton Team up
Actor Eric Bana, known for bringing Bruce Banner or Hulk to live action for the first time, finally breaks the silence in an MCU multiverse movie. This comes decades after Hulk has been portrayed by different actors like Mark Ruffalo and Edward Norton.
Eric Bana’s Hulk movie came out in 2003 when the Marvel Cinematic Universe didn’t launch officially. The film titled Hulk was directed by Ang Lee, and since it couldn’t receive a sequel despite discussions about it, Bana couldn’t join the MCU after it was initiated by Iron Man in 2008.
Eric Bana Talks About Working With Mark Ruffalo and Edward Norton in Hulk: No Way Home
It’s been decades since we saw Eric Bana giving life to Hulk for the first time. The actor recently broke the silence on his potential entry in the MCU with a multiverse movie similar to Tom Holland‘s Spiderman: No Way Home.

During an interview with Fifi, Fev & Nick for Breakfast (via Comic Book), the actor was asked to share his thoughts over reprising his role of the green Goliath by a multiverse event that occurred in the Spider-Man movie. The Deliver Us From Evil star said:
“I can’t see it. I can’t see it.”
After hearing Bana’s response, the hosts got the opportunity to praise the actor’s physique which is a huge requirement for portraying Hulk, to which Eric Bana says:
“Well… CGI man. [Laughter] You don’t really need [it]. Lot of steroids there. [More Laughter]”
Even though Bana clarified that there’s barely any potential for his return and collaboration with Mark Ruffalo and Edward Norton, the idea of crafting Hulk: No Way Home is enough to excite the Marvel fans since their enthusiasm seems to have taken a back seat lately.
Is Marvel Planning For Mark Ruffalo’s Standalone Hulk Movie?
Since Eric Bana has no plans for entering the MCU through a multiverse event, there have been speculations about Mark Ruffalo getting a standalone film of his character. As Ruffalo’s Hulk has become one of the major figures in the superhero world, he has remained tight-lipped about the potential standalone movie.
Even though there has been no official announcement about a standalone Hulk movie, since Mark Ruffalo has played the character for years, he expressed hope and desire for a future project that focuses on the indestructible avenger. In an interview with Comic Book, the actor said:
“Not that I know of. I’ve been asked not to comment on it, that specifically. Hopefully one day they’ll work it out. I think it could be really cool and I’ve been putting a lot of thought into what it could be to be cool, but I don’t know yet.”
Despite not making a solo Hulk project, Marvel has introduced the giant’s cousin Jennifer Walters, or She-Hulk. The character is portrayed by Tatiana Maslany, and her Disney+ series titled She-Hulk: Attorney at Law became a successful project.
Eric Bana’s Hulk is currently streaming on the Starz app.
