1. There Is No Way The Hulk Will Be In The Defenders
The final prediction for the Defenders mini-series is this: despite heartfelt fan longing, there is just no way the Hulk can be in it. Unless... Budget-wise, it would actually be practical to have Bruce Banner in the story throughout, with the prospect of his transformation into the Hulk looming over the entire story. Since this effect is so expensive, it could be reserved for a single use right at the end of the Defenders. But fans should be careful what they wish for; if the Hulk does appear, the special effects needed would eat up so much of the budget, the remainder of the mini-series could look a lot cheaper for it. Perhaps the Hulk should sit this one out. What do you think? Are there obvious elements that will feature in the Marvel Netflix series that we overlooked?
