Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Characters Who Will Be Totally Different

Last Time

In Thor: Ragnarok, Bruce Banner was one of the low-key highlights. After spending two years "trapped" as Hulk, his mind was a little all over the place and lacked that characteristic sharpness we'd become so accustomed to of the Science Bro.

His big issue right now is that he doesn't know how to control Hulk any more and it's very obvious that it terrifies him. When we last see him, he's in space with Thor and the Asgardians.

Now

He won't last in space, as the Infinity War trailer reveals he's going to crash back to Earth with a bang. And the crucial difference in Infinity War is that Bruce Banner either doesn't want to be the Hulk or cannot change at will as he once could. That's why he's going to be the one inside the Hulk Buster armour in Wakanda rather than Tony Stark, when just Hulking out would be more useful in battle.

Expect him to be even more fearful of his lack of control this time around too, especially as he's thrust into increasingly dangerous situations.
