Mark Ruffalo, the actor known for playing Bruce Banner/The Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, addressed his absence from the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on October 2. The discussion centered around why Ruffalo’s character does not appear in the new Marvel film, a question that has intrigued fans.
Reason Behind Ruffalo’s Exclusion from the Trailer
During the interview, Jimmy Fallon asked Ruffalo if he could explain why he was missing from the Avengers trailer, noting the actor’s history of unintentionally revealing spoilers. In response, Ruffalo joked,
“They decided that it was better to get rid of me than for me to tell the end of the next movie,”
reflecting his well-known tendency to share plot details prematurely.
Past Spoiler Incidents
Ruffalo has a history of accidentally revealing key plot points. In 2017, he briefly live-streamed parts of Thor: Ragnarok on Instagram, and in 2018, he inadvertently disclosed the ending of Avengers: Infinity War. These incidents have likely influenced Marvel’s decision to limit his exposure in promotional material for Doomsday.
Additional Marvel Projects and Cast Updates
Besides commenting on his current role, Ruffalo also touched upon the upcoming Spider-Man movie. While details about his involvement remain limited, fans continue to anticipate updates on the film’s full cast as they await new announcements.
Impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Mark Ruffalo’s absence from Avengers: Doomsday marks a notable change for the MCU, as he has been a consistent presence in previous films as The Hulk. Whether his character will return in future projects remains a point of interest, especially given the significance of his past roles. The decision highlights Marvel’s cautious approach to managing spoilers and preserving surprises for audiences.
