Avengers 5: Predicting Which Marvel Character Will Be Next To Die

9. The Hulk

Bruce Banner Dead
Marvel Studios

At the end of Avengers: Endgame, The Hulk used the Infinity Gauntlet to restore the countless lives Thanos wiped out five years earlier. That didn't come without a cost, though, as his arm was left seemingly useless, and his days as a hero are likely now at an end.

A She-Hulk TV series is coming to Disney+, and given the pivotal role Bruce Banner plays in Jennifer Walters' origin story (he gives her a blood transfusion which gives her Gamma powers), it's highly likely that the Jade Giant will return there. Beyond that, the Marvel Cinematic Universe basically has a brand new Hulk, so is there really any need for the old one to stick around?

There are certainly more stories which could be told with the original Hulk, but a weakened Green Goliath making a final stand - sacrifice is definitely a theme with characters like these - and passing on the mantle to his cousin in the process just feels like the right move. After all, Marvel Studios still can't make a solo Hulk movie, so he only has so much potential anyway.
