The Character

Rick Jones has been a sidekick to The Hulk, Captain America and Captain Marvel throughout his comic book tenure (among others), and was initially responsible for Bruce Banner's transformation into the big green dude.

Jones also played a pivotal part in the Kree-Skrull War, and was eventually transformed into the Abomination-like creature known as A-Bomb.

What Happened?

Jones was actually included in early drafts of The Incredible Hulk, but during re-writes presided over by star Edward Norton, the character was sadly removed from the movie.

The only evidence he was ever even a consideration? A list of Banner's known associates at the start of the movie can briefly be seen, with Jones' name listed among them.

Shortly before Captain Marvel started shooting, rumours suggested that Jones would be making an appearance in that movie after a casting call seemed to match his character, but of course, that turned out to be total bunk.
