A new theory , developed byCBR , suggests that this character arc will ultimately see the Hulk and Bruce Banner image compound - and that the Hulk will become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
“Professor Hulk” and the Pantheon
The MCU has always treat the Hulk and Banner identities as separate being who share a exclusive eubstance ; that ’s why Bruce has always referred to Hulk as " the other cat . “Thor : Ragnarokbrought those personality into conflict , with the Hulk resist the itch to transform back to Banner for a full two years . By the end of the cinema , Hulk was clear foil with Banner , actually allow him to crash head - first onto the Bifrost before come out to play . InAvengers : Infinity War , Hulk took a brutal pulse - down from Thanos and then refused toreturn during the Battle of Wakanda .

Bruce Banner, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
CBRsuggests Marvel Studios could depend to a more recent comic book of account run for aspiration ; strike out Waid’sIndestructible Hulk , which launch in 2013 . This take in Banner and the Hulk agree to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. , with Bruce modifying a S.H.I.E.L.D. biosuit into armor that could be worn by the Hulk when in the field . And , it must be said , the little we make love of the Hulk ’s costume inAvengers 4seems more remindful ofIndestructible Hulkthan the Pantheon epoch .
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded in the wake ofCaptain America : The Winter Soldier(and the film tend to ignoreAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ) , it ’s potential the organization is coming back in a great direction . fit photos forAvengers 4have shownTony Stark wearing some variety of S.H.I.E.L.D. tactical vest . Meanwhile , the post - credits scene ofAvengers : Infinity Warrevealed thatNick Fury and Maria Hillare working for an organization that looks a lot like a raw translation of S.H.I.E.L.D .. It ’s possibleAvengers 4will see Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes crop alongside a reborn S.H.I.E.L.D. - in which case , it would n’t be a surprise to see the Hulk actually become a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent , don that modify biosuit .
wonder do n’t really run to do straightforward comic - to - page adaptation . Rather , they immingle ideas into a Modern sort , one that fit the MCU . The " Professor Hulk " personality seems to have been clearly set up byThor : RagnarokandAvengers : Infinity War , butAvengers 4could easily draw inspiration from Mark Waid ’s more recent run .
