Mark Ruffalo, known for his iconic portrayal of the Hulk, has recently shared his views on some popular superhero matchups during an interview on We’re Not Kidding with Mehdi Hasan. Engaging in the fan-favorite debate of who would triumph in a fight between Superman and the Hulk, Ruffalo confidently declared, “Hulk.”
The conversation then shifted to the Red Hulk, a character portrayed by legendary actor Harrison Ford in the upcoming film Captain America: Brave New World. Ruffalo maintained his stance, asserting, “No one beats the Hulk. Not even the Red Hulk,” and went on to express his genuine admiration for Ford’s contribution to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
In a previous interview, Ford had humorously responded to whether his character could overpower Ruffalo’s Hulk. He likened the debate to the age-old question about Star Wars, jokingly stating, “The answer is Greedo,” indicating his nonchalant attitude toward such hypothetical matchups. This light-hearted exchange reflects the contrasting approaches between the two actors in addressing fan discussions.
Ruffalo, who has embodied Bruce Banner since The Avengers released in 2012, has become the definitive version of the character within the MCU. Ford’s portrayal of Red Hulk, making its screen debut in Captain America: Brave New World, marks a new chapter in the franchise, succeeding the late William Hurt, who originally portrayed Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross.
The enthusiastic interaction between Ruffalo and Ford showcases the increasing excitement and speculation surrounding the Hulk storyline as the MCU expands. Fans are eagerly anticipating the potential on-screen appearances of multiple variations of the Hulk. Ruffalo’s bold assertion about his character’s unbeatable nature, juxtaposed with Ford’s playful dismissal, highlights the spirited dialogues that keep the Marvel community engaged and invested in these legendary narratives.
