10 Important MCU Details That Are Almost Never Mentioned
1. How Did Bruce Banner Transform Into And Back From Smart Hulk
Without question one of the most jaw-dropping revelations to be housed within the Infinity Saga-concluding Endgame, Bruce Banner's feat of merging his impressive intellect with the fierce braun of his big green alter-ego caught just about everyone off-guard.
However, said jaw-dropping turn-of-events was never actually captured or shown in either Infinity War or Endgame, with Smart Hulk simply being unveiled as Captain America and the gang searched for a way to reverse The Snap.
In reality, The Russo Brothers had actually planned on showcasing this unity during the Battle of Wakanda, with Banner and Hulk reconciling and joining together to batter Cull Obsidian. However, those behind the flick admitted to the moment being "tone deaf" and subsequently opted for an off-screen transformation having already shot Smart Hulk scenes for Endgame.
We're still yet to discover exactly how Banner was able to execute this mind-boggling merging or even how he was able to revert back to his human form in a mid-credits scene for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. With Disney+'s She-Hulk series right around the corner, though, perhaps some much needed details regarding Banner's relationship and experimentation with himself will finally come to light.
