Hulk Cameo in ‘Spider-Man 4’ Could Pave Way for Avengers Reunion
The Marvel Cinematic Universe may be gearing up for Spider-Man’s return to the Avengers, perhaps setting the stage in the upcoming Spider-Man 4. Rumors suggest a significant Hulk cameo, played by Mark Ruffalo, could be the catalyst for Spidey’s re-entry into the team, just in time to face threats like Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.).
Following the events of Thunderbolts, the MCU has an official Avengers team. However, this new team, including members like Bob (Lewis Pullman) aka The Sentry, may need help. The Void’s attack in Thunderbolts underscores the necessity for a united front, potentially drawing Spider-Man (Tom Holland) back into the fold.
The world may have forgotten Peter Parker’s identity, but they remember Spider-Man’s heroic actions. This amnesia creates a unique prospect for Spider-Man to rejoin the Avengers, especially with the looming threat of Doctor Doom. Recent release date shifts suggest Spider-Man 4 could directly tease a connection to Avengers: Doomsday, possibly with an official invitation for Spider-Man to rejoin Earth’s mightiest heroes.
The Void’s attack on New York in Thunderbolts likely served as a catalyst for Spider-Man, highlighting the need for Avengers. The credits scene further hints at interdimensional threats,reinforcing the need for all available heroes,including Spider-Man.
Historically, Spider-Man movies have featured notable Avengers cameos. Iron Man appeared in Homecoming, Nick Fury in Far From Home, and Doctor Strange in No Way Home.If rumors hold true, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk could have a considerable role in Spider-Man 4, potentially acting as a mentor or providing crucial assistance to a lone Spider-Man.
Hulk’s last appearance was in She-Hulk, after mentoring Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany), he sought out his son. Before that,Hulk appeared in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings alongside Wong (Benedict Wong) and carol Danvers (Brie Larson),hinting at a new Avengers team.
A meeting between Hulk and Spider-Man could be significant, especially considering their shared scientific backgrounds.Such an encounter could pave the way for a larger alliance between the New Avengers, Sam Wilson’s (Anthony Mackie) Avengers, and Spider-Man, all united against the impending Doctor Doom threat.
What’s next
As the MCU moves forward, the integration of Spider-Man into the larger Avengers narrative seems increasingly likely. The events of Spider-Man 4 could be pivotal in setting up the alliances needed to combat the multiversal threats on the horizon, leading into Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.
