10 Times The MCU Totally Subverted Expectations
8. The Hulk’s Involvment In Infinity War, Or Lack Thereof
Avengers: Infinity War is the biggest superhero team up movie so far, but some characters - liek Hawkeye and Ant-Man - were missing. The Hulk however, was a constant pain throughout the movie. Refusing to come out and do his thing, The Hulk left Bruce Banner in a lot of sticky situations where he could really have done with the help.
Hawkeye and Ant-Man not being involved certainly was a surprise, especially given their involvement in Captain America: Civil War, but at least they weren’t in the trailers. Hulk on the other hand, despite being in trailers from day one of the marketing never appears beyond the prologue. The Hulk was shown in the trailers to be fighting in Wakanda in the now legendary faked shot.
Toy leaks also seemingly confirmed he would burst out of the Hulkbuster armour at one point, but that plan too never made it to the final film.
