Will The Hulk be in 'Captain America: Civil War'? Release Date, Cast, Plot & Spoilers Here!

In a recent interview, Mark Ruffalo revealed he was supposed to be in "Captain America: Civil War." However, something "really big" happened.

"Because he's still missing, and it's unknown where he is," he told Badtaste.it, as relayed by /FILM. "I thought that I would be in the film, but in the end they evidently believed that the reveal of what happened to the Hulk was too big, and Marvel wants to save that information for later."

"My character had been in the script, but then he got removed," he went on. "Who knows, maybe the Hulk will never return. They want to keep the revelation of what happened to him a secret, because it's something really big."

Previously, Ruffalo said he was told by Robert Downey Jr., who plays Iron Man, that he would be in the film.

"If Robert Downey, Jr. says I'm in Captain America, I'm in Captain America, " he told HitFix. "And I will wait for the day that my call sheet shows up at my doorstep or my script. At this point, I'm told that I'm in it by Robert, which I'll take as biblical, but I just haven't heard or seen from production yet."

Was the recent realization a letdown for the actor? If indeed The Hulk is up for bigger things, it probably isn't.

So far the characters that have been confirmed for the third "Captain America" flick were Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, the re-rebooted Spider-Man, Black Panther, the Winter Soldier, Falcon, Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch, Vision, and War Machine, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Considering that the said sequel will continue where "Age of Ultron" left off, The Hulk's prolonged absence could be less conspicuous, as he dropped off and disappeared towards the end of the last "Avengers" installment.

Where could he be? Tell us your own predictions!

Meanwhile, HitFix recalled Ruffalo as previously saying that his green-skinned character would be "going to space."

"That sounds a lot like a 'big' reason for his absence in the cinematic version of 'Civil War,' which as we know will not follow the comic directly," the site observed.

A separate "The Hulk" film would be feasible as Marvel reportedly have the rights to do that, as /FILM explained in another piece.

Now how would The Hulk get to space from what seems to be the bottom of an ocean? Did he do a super jump and successfully propelled himself beyond the earth's atmosphere in the process? Your guess is as good as ours!
