Hulk is one of the most famous Marvel characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although there is less possibility for Hulk to get his solo movie in the MCU, It is expected that he could reappear in various versions in the upcoming Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the arc of Hulk’s character has come to an end in the film Avengers: Endgame, but Phase 4 of the MCU can include the starting of a new storyline with the inclusion of She-Hulk as a new character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
There are various versions of Hulk’s character in Marvel Comics. Some of them are the original Savage Hulk of the MCU, Red Hulk, She-Hulk, and more. Apart from Hulk, there are other gamma-powered characters as well that can be considered similar to the family spectrum of Hulk. Several characters have been created by the genetics of Hulk, who can be regarded as the alternative for the character of Hulk in the upcoming Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Here are the four versions of Hulk, who can appear in Phase 4 of the MCU.
She-Hulk
She-Hulk is the only confirmed character of Hulk’s family. She-Hulk’s debut will be coming in the year 2022 in her solo show, She-Hulk, on Disney+. The character of She-Hulk is created by writer Stan Lee. The alternative personality of She-Hulk will be portrayed by the character Jennifer Susan Walters, who is a lawyer and cousin of Bruce Banner. She inherits a lighter version of Bruce Banner’s powers because of an emergency blood transfusion. It is also expected that She-Hulk could be a member of the future team of Avengers.
Smart Hulk
Smart Hulk can be fit into the future Avengers movies because he has very few opportunities for his solo movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He may get a role in the Original show of Disney+, She-Hulk. He could play an essential role in the origin story of She-Hulk. The blood of Bruce Banner is considered to be the main cause of the transformation of Jennifer into She-Hulk. In the film Avengers: Endgame, Banner balances him with Hulk and becomes “Smart Hulk.”
Red Hulk
Red Hulk is another character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe who possesses the same genetics as Hulk. According to Marvel Comics, General Thaddeus Ross is the head of the gamma bomb project responsible for Banner’s transformation into Hulk. General Thaddeus Ross, also known as Thunderbolt Ross, is the father-in-law of Bruce Banner as well. After knowing the fact that Bruce Banner is Hulk, he also begins to hunt Banner. Later, in the year 2008, he transforms into Red Hulk to defeat Hulk. As Ross hates Hulk, he denies accepting that he is Red Hulk. Now, after the events of Avengers: Endgame, Banner has transformed into Smart Hulk, so Ross has an opportunity to take down Hulk.
The Abomination
Tim Roth portrays the character of The Abomination in the film The Incredible Hulk released in the year 2008. Tim confirmed that it would be a late decision for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to show The Abomination in Phase 4 of the MCU because he has already returned to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the film, Avengers: Age Of Ultron. The Abomination is considered one of the best villainous characters in Hollywood. Abomination would be a great addition to the story of Hulk because Banner has become Smart Hulk, and it could be an exciting twist in the upcoming Phase 4 of the MCU.
After discussing some of the versions of Hulk, who can appear in Phase 4 of Marvel, we have concluded that there are various characters. They can play the character of Hulk in the upcoming Phase 4 of the MCU. All of the above-discussed characters have the potential to portray the character of Hulk. Still, She-Hulk would be the most compelling character to replace Hulk in the upcoming MCU movies.
