Only a few week afterIron Man , The Incredible Hulkwas eject with Edward Norton playing Bruce Banner . The film follow Bruce as he tries to find a therapeutic for the Hulk so he can check that it ca n’t be used to ache people and potentially bring back to a normal life . Things do n’t go well when Emil Blonsky becomes haunt with taking him down .

The IncredibleHulkis a bit of an underrated motion-picture show for the MCU , chiefly due to the fact that Edward Norton did n’t continue to play Banner . unhappily , although Norton and Liv Tyler , who played Betty Ross , did their good to portray the iconic characters , most rooter on Letterboxd still believe it to be poor due to the underwhelming game and a lack of emotional depth in all the relationships .

Iron Man 3dealt with the fallout from Tony ’s near - destruction experience inThe Avengers . It ’s the only MCU film to have a vocalism - over narrative and Tony tells the story of his scrap with Killion and learn to cope with being Iron Man . It ’s revealed at the final stage that Tony was in fact blab to a sleeping Bruce Banner .

This must have been passably exciting since Marvel was paying off the promise of these character proceed to co - exist with each other . WhileIron Man 3doesn’t reach the heights of the first film , it is considered a major advance on the second . alas , due to the fact that the Hulk / Bruce has a circumscribed amount of sieve - time in comparison to the other character , it is n’t as extremely rated with his funny book fans who may use Letterboxd regularly .

When Ultron snipe the Avengers with the twins , Wanda uses her abilities to post Hulk into a passion that they ca n’t break him out of . It was only through Tony ’s Hulkbuster armor that they were able to get him in check .

Avengers : years of Ultronis often considered the worst of the Avengers films . Opinions have soured on it because of the human relationship with the conductor . There ’s still plenty to enjoy about the plastic film and most Letterboxd users often regard the Hulkbuster picture to be a major standout .

Bruce Banner is institute on to find the Tesseract due to its low levels of Gamma Rays , but Loki ordain a program that wrench Banner into the Hulk to wreak havoc while Loki turn tail .

The Avengersis still one of the most darling to this day . When it comes to the Hulk specifically , many felt Ruffalo was a standout as he contend to becharm the quality perfectly . While there are plenty of films rate higher , many MCU Letterboxd fans palpate this is where the franchise peaked .

Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings (2021) - 3.7/5

Shang - Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringsbrought Shang - Chi , the earth ’s slap-up martial creative person , to the MCU . Together , with his sister and friend , Katie , Shang - Chi was able to kill his father , the Mandarin , and take the Ten Rings for himself . When they returned home , Wong , Banner , and Captain Marvel summoned Shang - Chi and Katie to speak about a mysterious sign coming from the rings .

Banner only appear as a hologram in the post - credit conniption , but funnily , he is in his normal form and not as Professor Hulk , so a lot of praise towards the film is n’t lobbed at his cameo . The soldierlike arts in the film are some of the most imaginative the MCU has see and many regard this to be a breath of fresh air for the dealership . The final act seems to take it down for some , but Shang - Chi is a cool new character that   could be agood prospect to contribute the Avengers .

Thor: Ragnarok (2017) - 3.9/5

After Odin ’s death inThor : Ragnarok , Thor and Loki are attacked by their long - lost sis , Hela , the Goddess of Death . Hela takes over Asgard and Thor finds himself strand on   Sakaar , where he has to fight in the gladiatorial ring against the Hulk .

This film started a three - movie story - arc for Banner and Hulk and drastically changed the position quo for Thor . With some truly stand - out activity and very funny dialog , Thor : Ragnarokhas become a beloved movie .

Avengers: Endgame (2019) - 3.9/5

Five yr after their defeat at the hands of Thanos , Avengers : Endgamesees Scott Lang come back with a plan to locomote through time and hold start the earth . Bruce has now merged his personality with that of the Hulk ’s to create a intercrossed edition of the two of them . He ’s able to use this new shape to wield the Infinity Gauntlet and bestow everyone who was snapped out back .

Letterboxd users tend to detect this one miss whereAvengers : Infinity Warisn’t . One frustrative thing for some is that most of Hulk ’s fictional character growing has been done off - screen , within the five - yr time jump . With such a immense alteration to the character , it would have been nice to see it and for that reason , Professor Hulk ranks kind of dispirited with the other Live - Action Hulks .

Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - 4/5

retaliator : Infinityopens with Thanos defeating Hulk , which leads Thor to send him back to Earth to warn of Thanos ' arrival . He crashes into Doctor Strange ’s sanctum sanctorum and   they go to talk to Tony Stark .

Like it is for most of the original Avengers , Avengers : Infinity Waris considered the proficient .

Letterboxd users found the story being arrange up with Bruce and the Hulk to be challenging and were hopeful for a satisfying payoff to fare .
