5. Why Is Bruce Banner Back To Normal?

As Wong brought in the Ten Rings in to examine them, he also brought in two friends to help him. The appearance of both Captain Marvel and Bruce Banner was a huge surprise, however what was even more surprising is that Bruce was in his human form.

In Avengers: Endgame, Bruce explained to Steve, Natasha, and Scott that he was tired of treating the Hulk like a disease, or like a problem. Instead, he embraced the Other Guy, and somehow managed to bring the brains and the brawn together to get the best of both worlds.

This was a decision that potentially saved half of the entire universe, as a Hulk without Banner’s brains, or Banner without the Hulk’s physiology would never have been able to wield Tony’s gauntlet and snap his fingers. Why then, and how, is he now back in his normal human form?

His arm is still in a cast so it can’t be anything to do with healing, and things seemed to be going relatively well for him as Professor Hulk. Hopefully all will be explained when he returns to screens with She-Hulk on Disney+ next year.
