Mark Ruffalo, who plays the Hulk, previews ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’

While speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law premiere, Mark Ruffalo teased Avengers: Secret Wars.

“It’s gonna be hard to top Endgame,” the actor explained. “But if I know Kevin and I know Marvel, it’s gonna be pretty amazing … It’ll be a big bang. We’ll go out with a big bang.”

While Ruffalo didn’t confirm nor deny his involvement as the Hulk in Avengers: Secret Wars, he might know some information about the upcoming movie. However, the sixth Avengers film isn’t hitting theaters until 2025, so we likely won’t know the cast anytime soon.

In the meantime, fans can watch Mark Ruffalo reprise his MCU role as Bruce Banner/Hulk in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
