Fans have been asking for another solo Hulk movie for years and years, especially since the MCU has only featured one standalone Hulk film to date, and it didn't even star Mark Ruffalo.

However, Marvel Studios has cited various reasons for not proceeding with it, from thorny rights issues to the sheer fact that, arguably, the big green guy functions much better as a smaller attraction in a huge movie.

The middling success of the prior two Hulk movies supports this, but considering how Marvel could pretty much sell ice to Eskimos at this point, it's not hard to conceive that they'd be able to make an entertaining solo Hulk film. Fans want it, they will put their money where their mouths are, so Marvel are leaving hundreds of millions of dollars on the table by not pursuing it.

But they will cave in eventually, and Phase 4 feels like the right time.
