Before the release of Captain Marvel last year, casting breakdowns pointed to Rick Jones finally making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. For those of you unfamiliar with the comic book character, he was the youngster Bruce Banner saved from the fateful explosion which transformed him into The Hulk, and he would later go on to serve as a sidekick to both Captain America and Mar-Vell.

That Captain Marvel debut never ended up happening but it's now said that there are indeed plans for him in this shared world moving forward.

What those are going to be is currently a mystery but Captain Marvel 2 seems like a logical place for him to appear as does the She-Hulk TV series on Disney+. However, fans may want to spend a little more time with him before watching the hero take a blast of Gamma Rays and become the monstrous A-Bomb (a persona he adopted when Marvel decided it would be a good idea to have half a dozen Hulks).
