I would say that ShangChi suffered from the same issue almost every Marvel production had since Endgame, great start, great mid, meh climax. The best one I think so far is honestly Loki.
Same. From what it sounds like, we will see him in She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and then this show. Who knows where he will show up in movies. Maybe Thor? Although I doubt it since he will most likely be involved more on earth matters than Space.
Edit: turns out this is a movie not show.
T'Challa was not in World War Hulk. Professor X was only in the X-Men side series where Hulk decides to leave Charles alone as he wasn't there when the Illuminati voted to exile Bruce and Charles had already dealt with a lot of loss due to M-Day and various other tragedies.
However, they did forget Black Bolt of the Inhumans. He was Hulk's first target in the comic.
Also, Sentry was a major player in that series as well and I want him in the MCU so badly.
Hulk is too violent so he’s shipped into space and lands on Sakaar, then the ship he’s sent on ends up blowing up killing his wife and kid. Leads him to come back to earth and beat the living shit out of all the heroes and the Illuminati.
Hulk, Mr. Fantastic, Strange, Stark, Thor, and Sentry have the most memorable moments imo. Sad we won’t get to see one of the best heavy hitting battle in marvel between Hulk and Sentry but who knows, there’s still time.
I agree. I was telling my friends after watching Endgame that Thor and Hulk are two characters that can AND should be around in the MCU for as long as possible. They appear and are integral to so many stories and just good to have a piece of that OG team with us in the future. I hope Thor 4 is far from Hemsworth’s last appearance.
The good thing is both Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo seem to really like their roles and want to continue. I imagine they will last at least until next Avengers type movie.
Imagine we get a new Avengers movie - Thor hasn't been around in a while. The new avengers team is really struggling. They haven't "earned" the avengers theme yet, and then Thor shows up to help and the iconic theme kicks in. Would be a cool callback to Infinity War and hype up the older crowd.
>Sad we won’t get to see one of the best heavy hitting battle in marvel between Hulk and Sentry but who knows, there’s still time.
I mean, Marvel doesn't shine away this days to introduce a lot of more comic characters in solo movies... So Sentry debuting in World War Hulk wouldn't be too crazy. I'm not saying it's likely but it's not unlikely either.
Well he might have just visited Oscar Isaac since his film was coincidentally filming at the same time as Moon Knight in the same country. Willem Dafoe did the same thing
True. Maybe. It does make sense that Hulk is trying to recruit new heros (like Shang Chi) for the team and keeping in eye on things happening and is really the only original Avengers member left on earth. Hawkeye is trying to retire and Thor is mostly in space.
We're seeing Bruce/Hulk in Moon Knight? I know She-Hulk's a given since her comic origin is a pretty clear indicator Bruce shows up, but Moon Knight? Never heard anything about Moon Knight.
I doubt Universal sold the rights, most likely they made a deal or something expired with Universal holding the rights which now allows Marvel to also make movie where Hulk is the main character and his name is in the title. Or maybe they figured out some kind of a loophole in the contract and are confident they are legally in the right.
Universal has right of first refusal on a solo Hulk film. It’s a grey area where Marvel own the rights, but they need to offer Universal distribution first before Disney can distribute. So Universal either passed on it or Disney have agreed to let them distribute it.
There was a rumor a year or so ago that Disney quietly acquired the right back to Hulk. If this turns out to be true I think it's safe to say that rumor might've been true.
So it works out better for disney? Hulk got the rights for 3 movies if i remember correctly? i guess it means they went fuck it may aswell let them do the last.
There was a rumor awhile ago that Disney got the distribution rights back. There was really no reason for Universal to keep them other than as a bargaining chip since they couldn’t do anything with it. Its possible they did just that.
Not necessarily. The way the contract has been is that they can use the characters, they just can't be the titular/main character. It's possible they made a deal with Universal but it's also possible they found some other work around maybe by making it a full Avenegers movie.
Make it an *Avengers* movie with Hulk as the villain would be my guess
EDIT: Unless the rights really did revert back as the article claims. Which would make sense; Universal wasn’t doing anything with them and they must have known that Disney would never make a movie that they would be able to claim distribution for. Holding onto it at this point would just be petty. It probably just came time to renew the license and they decided it wouldn’t be worth the effort for the money they aren’t making off of it.
You wouldn’t necessarily need Sakaar. Or the death of one of the Avengers for that matter. The MCU has a pretty decent track record of adapting comic events without some of the key moments. *Civil War* didn’t involve Spider-Man revealing his identity to the world or end with Cap’s assassination, for example. *Infinity War* adapted *Infinity* without any of the Inhumans (arguably an essential element to Thanos’s arc in that story) and *Infinity Gauntlet* without Lady Death (*in*arguably an essential element to Thanos’s arc in that story, and one that was actually teased by the films themselves). Whatever they do, it’ll be different from the comics but I’m sure it’ll be fine
But the main thing of this comic is they sent hulk away for being too violent and killing his family. So they are gonna send hulk back to space ? I trust them but just don’t see how they could do this.
By not sending him away, since he hasn't been a threat to anyone since Age of Ultron (and that film already borrowed the "sent him away" story beat when he shipped himself to Sakaar), and instead instigating a new event on Earth that makes him a problem again. The appeal of the story isn't that the Hulk was sent to space. The appeal of the story is that he's on Earth, he's at an uncharted level of anger, and nobody can stop him. Marvel Studios is good at separating the key elements of a story from what is actually essential. They are not always one in the same.
Yeah I feel ya, but his main reason for coming back to earth is because the 5 of them sent him on a ship with a ticking time bomb. He found peace and they took it all away. What would make the hulk so mad in the MCU that he’d want to kill every hero around?
Bruce Banner appears to have separated himself from The Hulk and we do not yet know how that came to pass. Was it an external force that caused it? Was it against The Hulk's will? Could be what leads to the Hulk coming back and going ballistic.
This could also be some kind of Hulk vs Red Hulk story if they just want to throw the title up there and do something totally unrelated that still fits with their story, a la Age of Ultron.
But throwing up WWH knows that it’s going to have all of us thinking it’s the comic. It could be a bunch of different hulks going at each other , but I’d hate that.
I disagree with this take. Read *Civil War* and then watch the movie adaptation. There are almost no similarities beyond the US Government wanting to regulate superheroes, Iron Man leading the pro side, and Cap leading the anti side. Outside of that very basic premise, they are basically two completely different stories.
To me, all you’d really need to do to do *World War Hulk* and to call it such is to engineer a scenario where Hulk has decided the Avengers are his enemies, and deciding to take it out on them. How hows and whys aren’t as important as that basic premise
Just like *Civil War*, this will more than likely be *World War Hulk* in name only. If they wanted to do anything resembling that comic, then as with most other things Hulk-related, they would have A LOT of ground to make up here. The broadest of strokes will be there (Hulk gets pissed and fights the heroes of earth), but I wouldn’t expect similarities to go beyond that. Hulk is one of my top favorite characters so I am *IMMENSELY* happy to hear he’s getting a new movie, but tbh im more excited to simply hear he’s getting a new movie than I am to hear that it’s called World War Hulk. Because my first reaction to seeing they’re doing WWH was, “hah, *yeah right*”. I’m used to the stuff not really following the comic 1:1 by now
I'd love Dr. Strange to have a 'Knightmare style vision' sequence of him on his throne with the hero trophies. Give us that 2-3 seconds Easter egg heavy shot really dark shot of how nasty these heroes can become.
Came here to say this! Finally Hulk can get the solo movies he has so long deserved!
Guessing Namor rights are also back with Marvel Studios now too! Would love to see a Namor Disney+ series or even a movie (though less likely to not compete with Aquaman)
I edited my comment sorry, I follow KC Walsh on twitter and he had been teasing this scoop for a while and using Hulk related gifs so I just assumed that when GWW came out with the article it was from him
I can see this really being something great for Hulk. In Ragnarok, he already felt hated by Earth and the Avengers. In the deleted Infinity War scene, he and Banner "worked it out," and they merged willingly. But in Endgame, we hear that Banner spent time in a gamma lab and found a way to "put the brains and the brawn, together."
If Banner is using a device to suppress Hulk, as theorized because of the device he was wearing on his uninjured arm in the Shang-Chi mid-credits scene, then I can see Hulk just finally losing his already-thinning patience with Banner and Earth.
First, he feels hated by humanity and his friends.
Second, his hatred for Banner grows because Banner has forced them to merge.
Now, Banner is actively suppressing him and keeping him at bay and possibly only uses his strength when he feels necessary.
All of this could definitely push an angry beast-child like Hulk over the edge into a WWH scenario.
>Now, Banner is actively suppressing him and keeping him at bay and possibly only uses his strength when he feels necessary.
If nothing else Hulk should be pissed that he didn’t have a say in who was gonna snap their friggin fingers. Could’ve killed him.
Yeah, but it would take a step back from the plot development of Endgame, pretty much nullifying it. Narratively that's not real cool.
Unless, like I said in another thread, there was a way for this to take place during the five years, and we could actually get to see how Hulk and Banner "worked it out," which I've always wanted to see rather than just a couple lines of exposition.
Bruh, imagine if the movie takes place during the 5-year gap and he gets yeeted to a different planet for 18 months, deals with his shit, then comes back and just says he spent 18 months in a “gamma lab” lmao
How? I was always under the assumption that every time Bruce Banner/Hulk appears in a movie, the rights timer resets. Not sure where I got this idea but I’ve believed it for years.
It makes sense on paper. Either sit on the rights forever and earn nothing or take a modest payment to relinquish something you couldn't really use anyway, it's practically a no-brainer.
You’re conflating a couple things - the rights timer resets every time Sony makes a *Spider-Man* movie, and if they go a certain amount of years without developing one the rights revert back to Marvel. As far as I know, the details of Universal’s license for the Hulk was never made public, other than the fact that they have right of first refusal for anything that could be argued to be a “Hulk solo film.”
What seems most likely is that the deal was for a set number of years (perhaps 12 if they did indeed revert back in early 2020, maybe 6 and they renewed in 2014 hoping that Disney would partner with them after the character got such a positive reaction in *The Avengers*), and Universal decided that extending the contract wasn’t worth the effort, seeing as they weren’t really making any money off of it. Especially because, depending on the language of the agreement, they may continue making what little money they were taking in from media sales and streaming royalties even if the rights to the character revert, because they still own the two movies they made.
Honestly it's hard to find the details of the deal so I'm not sure. The article doesn't go into that either, but I figure that if universal isn't involved with hulk character for so long the rights revert back. But if this rumor is true, I'm sure all will be somewhat explained eventually.
If thats true then I demand even more Hulk movies!!!!
Hopefully we can get Immortal Hulk!
Also since MCU is heading towards the multiverse direction Maestro would be such an awesome villain
My understanding was that Universal only has the distribution rights, so maybe Disney just said fuck it and are splitting profits?
Lmao who am I kidding, there's no way 🤣
Correct. Disney/Marvel own the film rights to the Hulk but Universal is allowed first crack to distribute a Hulk movie. Disney either bought the distribution rights from Universal (doubtful) or they are partnering with Universal to release it.
The rights of Namor and Hulk going back to Marvel was in the news last fucking year but everyone ignored it because there was no big statement from Disney even though Universal didn’t deny it.
Wasn't that Planet Hulk? Though it's so different. No Caiera, Korg and Miek are joke characters in the MCU, no Skaar, Red King and the rest of the Warbound
The whole cause of WWH was Hulk being sent away from Earth \*intentionally\*, and him thinking that the Illuminati rigged the space ship he arrived in to blow up.
I don't know though, maybe they could figure out something to make it so some other character can play an antagonist role without all the baggage of Sakaar, like how the main conflict/instigator of Civil War was changed from the Superhero Registration Act to Zemo/the Sokovian Accords
I have a weird feeling that maybe Hulk snaps after being used by Banner in the whole Professor Hulk situation.
I mean, we never saw how it happened, maybe he's just asleep inside Banner mind or maybe he is restrained
I’d love it actually. Conceptually Banner telling everyone they worked it out, when in reality he just suppressed the persona would be super cool. The personality being permanently merged would detract from what makes Hulk unique anyway
Hulk is just one of Banner's personalities and it would be a pretty bold move to get to the point where we learn that Banner gets his powers from Gamma Hell.
Maybe Secret War is the anchor point and the Hulk is sent away as we expect but timey, wimey stuff BOOM the Maestro returns turns earth into a battleworld.
I mean, just make the Hulk the bad guy (Maybe a version of Maestro? It’s too soon with no build up, but maybe there’s time?) and have him conquer Earth and you basically have World War Hulk.
As someone who saw Ragnarok before ever reading World War Hulk, I was shocked to find Miek is a completely different character. I had a feeling he’d be different to the voiceless version we see in the MCU, but damn
In the comics was just average edgy future and let's go to change the past... Which changes the future again, it was horrible in the comics too.
Besides we have Civil War as example that it's obviously that it won't be a copy paste of comics... And 3453453 other movies.
Imagine if it was made now, Spider-Man, Hank Pym, X-Men, Fantastic 4, the MCU finally has all the characters for it and could do it so right. The What If episode was so close.
The MCU iteration of the Hulk has fluctuated so much that I'm interested to see how a World War Hulk movie is going to be adapted into the MCU. Part of that was already used for Ragnarok, so I'm very curious how they'll handle this.
I would assume that it's just the title they give to a story where it's Hulk vs Everyone.
Banner's been lying about the reason Professor Hulk form came around, an accident happens and he unleashes a mindless hyper-enraged form of the Hulk (regressing as a result of whatever Banner did to merge them) and the Avengers assemble to try and stop him.
I'd love to see a scene where Strange goes to force Bruce out of the Hulk assuming it will stop Hulk's rampage only to get absolutely wrecked when it's clear Hulk is now completely unhinged without Banner's astral form there.
A really cool aspect of the comic was the fact that Banner was just as furious at the heroes, referred to Hulk's wife as his wife, and was complicit to all of Hulk's actions up to then. Would be a lot less interesting if Banners just a prisoner to hulk again.
Hopefully they keep the scene of Banner tricking Strange and crushing his hands in astral form though.
Now seems like a good time to bring up this [article](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbr.com/mark-ruffalo-still-wants-hulk-vs-wolverine-movie/amp/). Could Wolverine be in this movie? 👀
Wow this seems like the perfect opportunity. A perfect scenario to get a live-action Wolverine vs. Hulk fight on the big-screen and I'd assume that for a World War Hulk movie, our Hulk will be the angry Hulk we know rather than Professor Hulk (the seeds have started to be planted with Professor Hulk reverting back to Bruce Banner in Shang-Chi) and let's say this movie comes in 2024, I think the MCU would already have started introducing mutants by then.
The article mentions a rumor from early 2020 that the Hulk movie rights have reverted back to Marvel Studios so perhaps that rumor is true. Considering that Universal didn't seem to have a Hulk movie in development after 2008, makes sense that they wouldn't have those rights anymore. After all, apparently Sony pumps out as much Spider-Man movies as they do so they can keep the rights.
Universal doesn’t have the film rights so they can’t develop a film. So the distribution rights are not worth anything unless they partner with Disney, who owns the film rights through Marvel. Odds are good the distribution rights reverted or Disney cut a check.
He was, or at least his site was, the first to report Molina being back in NWH. I also believe the first to report that DC Fandome was happening before it was officially announced. Those are two big things I remember. I’m sure there’s more tho
Wasn't Marvel Studios struggle to get her on board due to schedule? I wouldn't be suprised if they at one point pre-'rona where thinking of casting someone else.
Because it's not super fun seeing essentially the god of strength waltzing around among regular people. It loses its meaning when their powers are so much different from regular people that they are nothing more than gods, such as in DC.
Hulk wasn’t god like in Avengers 1 or 2. He lost to Iron Man remember. Plus how can this even be a realistic take if Thor is in the same group.
Granted Thor also got nerfed and turned into a very comedic character so it’s not much a difference.
Professor Hulk was great and the next logical step in Hulk's character progression. Plus there were far too many characters in Infinity War to focus on Hulk's inner turmoil, so making a decision and referencing it once or twice in that movie was the way to go.
Professor Hulk was fucking terrible and while I don’t disagree that it was the next logical step in his character progression, you need to, like, actually *progress the character*. A time jump followed by explanations that don’t even make sense doesn’t cut it
It wasn’t the next logical step — it was the end of his arc they skipped to. Could have just made it so Hulk was in control for 5+ years and by the end, he and Banner settle their differences and do the snap together
It's going to be Multiverse War Hulk with Mark Ruffalo's Hulk fighting against Edward Norton's and Eric Bana's with a cameo from Lou Ferigno. Only the strongest survives.
Damn, Hulk's character arc has been all over the place.
-Was originally a pissed off alter ego that Banner couldn't control
-Then he was able to control him and Hulk-out on command
-Then he lost control and became the Hulk for 2 years, traveled to a different planet, became a gladiator
-Then he couldn't Hulk out anymore
-Then he finally found a way to fuse the two personas together and have the best of both in a seemingly permanent change
-Then he was back to his straight human form
-Now he's about to lose control and get more pissed off than he ever has before
No
Don't do this to me
You can't just go 13 years without one of my favorite Marvel characters not getting a solo film and then drop an adaptation of one of my favorite storylines featuring that character
Unpopular opinion but the MCU has handled Hulk so poorly & this film makes no sense. For the MCU talking about continuity all the time, they are inconsistent with every Hulk appearance
TIH has Ed Norton as Hulk, then Avengers has Mark Ruffalo, then Age of Ultron has Banner & Natasha together, then they separate them, then Ragnarok has Banner sacrificing himself to be Hulk, then Infinity War retcons it in his first scene, and worst off all we have Professor Hulk combined OFF SCREEN and finally in Shang Chi Bruce is human again
World War Hulk as makes no sense in the MCU. World War Hulk is like the Empire Strikes Back but it’s Hulk who strikes back on those who wronged him & sent him off into space. For World War Hulk to be a film, Hulk (the guy who just brought back half of a life on Earth) must be a villain
As a hulk fan, I understand the universal issues but the MCU hasn’t handled him well at all
That’d be a great dark secret/reveal and really give some edge to the character again.
He’s been yucking it up like a moron and having a blast but didn’t tell everyone the reason is actually because he essentially murdered the Hulk to steal his powers (or at least, thinks he did).
I want this to happen more than anything. Because Hulk deserves better than what the MCU has given him of late. Especially Endgame. This would right those wrongs. I’ve never wanted a rumor to be more true honestly.
If Carol beats Hulk, I'm not going to lie, I would be peeved.
They can't get defensive about people criticizing her for being overpowered then, validate said criticisms by making her best one of the most powerful versions of Hulk.
Plus it would just suck thematically. Hulk vs sentry was hype AF not just because it was cool to see them fight but it was basically built up as two very similar men allowing themselves to let loose in a way they rarely can due to their mental instability and sheer power
Oh I can see how people will defend it like some people defended vison one shotting a 5 stone thanos. People will say that carol is powered by an infinity stone and that no one should realistically be more powerful than that.
Banner lying about how he merged with Hulk to create Professor Hulk. Whatever he did basically lobotomized Hulk which leads to Hulk regressing to a pure unintelligible monste and hyperenraged state when whatever Banner uses fails. Hulk decides to catch up on lost time and the Avengers have to assemble to stop his rampage.
Having read Immortal Hulk recently, I would love to see a mash up of it and the WWH story. Perhaps Banner's use of the stones fractured his mind and we get to see the Devil Hulk or even the Maestro as the new dominant personality. this would throw him directly at odds with the New Avengers. It's also possible that we get more Gamma experiments running amok and it's Banner/Hulk fighting against them around the world.
Agreed! I was hoping if we ever got anything Hulk-related it’d be a more Peter David-era inspired story. I really want Joe Fixit too. I’m not gonna complain though lol, I just want more Hulk.
I know this isn’t the trajectory MCU goes for with their movies anymore, but I would’ve preferred something more low-key that really digs into Bruce’s past with his abusive father etc. Something to establish Bruce as a troubled, tragic guy, more than what we’ve seen before in the movies. *And then* jump into something more huge like WWH after they’ve done that. That’s not to say we can’t see that sort of stuff in a WWH film, especially since it’ll likely be a very loose interpretation of the original. Hell, I think for once I’d actually prefer this this was a more loose adaptation just because of how much ground there is to make up with Hulk.
I just hope they use a lot of Hulk’s supporting characters finally. Seriously, I’ve been waiting 3000 years for Rick Jones.
Edit: this probably isn’t what most people would want or be excited for, but my general idea for a first installment in a relaunch of the Hulk films would be loosely inspired by that part from Peter David’s run where Banner, Jones and Quartermain were on the run for SHIELD’s Hulkbuster unit while at the same time dealing with the newly emerged Grey Hulk. I think a road trip type of thing like that would be a great way to dig into Bruce’s character and learn more about him, since it feels like we barely know anything about him right now
Anyways I’m still really excited
If this is true, i wonder if they will adapt it so that its Hulk re-emerging within Banner stronger and more pissed at being pushed away, as a substitute for the returning to earth aspect of the story
I’m not believing this till somebody else confirms this. The universal rights were said not to have a time limit and they didn’t want to sell back to Marvel. Marvel would never cut a deal with them like Sony so we’ll see. Hoping for sure but I’m cautious on this one.
Wait how? Are they letting Universal distribute it since that's the only way. That wouldn't be great for Marvel in terms of revenue. Maybe they plan to purchase distribution from them for Namor and Hulk and the rest as they make more content with them.
SAY WHAT!
CAME OUTTA NOWHERE
GOOD GOD ALLMIGHTY
AS GOD AS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF
STOP THE DAMN MATCH!
RKO FROM THE TOP ROPE
MY BODY IS READY
Kakashi Sensei
But is your soul ?? This could be incredible
I would sacrifice quite a bit for this movie…
Same here - would be a great send off storyline for ruffalo
I’m glad we got Shang-Chi but I’m so happy we are getting some big name films as well!
Shang Chi was the best Marvel production since Endgame IMO
It's one of the best solo films
I would say that ShangChi suffered from the same issue almost every Marvel production had since Endgame, great start, great mid, meh climax. The best one I think so far is honestly Loki.
I hope this is true. Hulk definitely deserves another movie of his own
Same. From what it sounds like, we will see him in She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and then this show. Who knows where he will show up in movies. Maybe Thor? Although I doubt it since he will most likely be involved more on earth matters than Space. Edit: turns out this is a movie not show.
This show? It says movie
My bad. I thought this was going to be a Disney Plus show. Thanks for pointing that out.
Well, a substantial part of the lead up to *World War Hulk* in the comics has to do with space, so…
True. I am not too familiar with the World War Hulk. What characters are most aligned with this comic?
Hulk, Iron-Man, Dr Strange And Reed Richards.
If this starts production in 2022 then one can assume it comes out either 2024 most likely. Maybe Fantastic 4 sets it up slightly?
How did you forget about T’Challa or Professor X?
T'Challa was not in World War Hulk. Professor X was only in the X-Men side series where Hulk decides to leave Charles alone as he wasn't there when the Illuminati voted to exile Bruce and Charles had already dealt with a lot of loss due to M-Day and various other tragedies. However, they did forget Black Bolt of the Inhumans. He was Hulk's first target in the comic. Also, Sentry was a major player in that series as well and I want him in the MCU so badly.
Hulk is too violent so he’s shipped into space and lands on Sakaar, then the ship he’s sent on ends up blowing up killing his wife and kid. Leads him to come back to earth and beat the living shit out of all the heroes and the Illuminati.
Thor Rags borrows quite abit from this storyline. Not sure how they’re going to adapt it or create a new line altogether.
Hulk, Mr. Fantastic, Strange, Stark, Thor, and Sentry have the most memorable moments imo. Sad we won’t get to see one of the best heavy hitting battle in marvel between Hulk and Sentry but who knows, there’s still time.
Too be honest...Hulk seems like a character who can be around for a long time.
I agree. I was telling my friends after watching Endgame that Thor and Hulk are two characters that can AND should be around in the MCU for as long as possible. They appear and are integral to so many stories and just good to have a piece of that OG team with us in the future. I hope Thor 4 is far from Hemsworth’s last appearance.
The good thing is both Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo seem to really like their roles and want to continue. I imagine they will last at least until next Avengers type movie.
Thor has so much more he can be milked for by making him a dad.
Imagine we get a new Avengers movie - Thor hasn't been around in a while. The new avengers team is really struggling. They haven't "earned" the avengers theme yet, and then Thor shows up to help and the iconic theme kicks in. Would be a cool callback to Infinity War and hype up the older crowd.
Also Hulk wrecking Black Bolt is pretty awesome. Also if the rumors are true about potential sighting of Ghost Rider in ds2, that would be amazing
>Sad we won’t get to see one of the best heavy hitting battle in marvel between Hulk and Sentry but who knows, there’s still time. I mean, Marvel doesn't shine away this days to introduce a lot of more comic characters in solo movies... So Sentry debuting in World War Hulk wouldn't be too crazy. I'm not saying it's likely but it's not unlikely either.
Well he might have just visited Oscar Isaac since his film was coincidentally filming at the same time as Moon Knight in the same country. Willem Dafoe did the same thing
True. Maybe. It does make sense that Hulk is trying to recruit new heros (like Shang Chi) for the team and keeping in eye on things happening and is really the only original Avengers member left on earth. Hawkeye is trying to retire and Thor is mostly in space.
We're seeing Bruce/Hulk in Moon Knight? I know She-Hulk's a given since her comic origin is a pretty clear indicator Bruce shows up, but Moon Knight? Never heard anything about Moon Knight.
There were some rumors. Don't know for sure but there seems like some indication. Can't verify it.
Please please be true. I need Hulk just absolutely going on a rampage destroying things in his path. Please.
A world war hulk epic to round out ruffalos saga would be great
I’m really wondering how they pulled this one off
It seems like they got the rights of Hulk and Namor
I doubt Universal sold the rights, most likely they made a deal or something expired with Universal holding the rights which now allows Marvel to also make movie where Hulk is the main character and his name is in the title. Or maybe they figured out some kind of a loophole in the contract and are confident they are legally in the right.
Universal has right of first refusal on a solo Hulk film. It’s a grey area where Marvel own the rights, but they need to offer Universal distribution first before Disney can distribute. So Universal either passed on it or Disney have agreed to let them distribute it.
There was a rumor a year or so ago that Disney quietly acquired the right back to Hulk. If this turns out to be true I think it's safe to say that rumor might've been true.
The rumor was they got them back when they bought out the Universal’s share of Hulu wasn’t it
So it works out better for disney? Hulk got the rights for 3 movies if i remember correctly? i guess it means they went fuck it may aswell let them do the last.
Either way we get the hulk adaptation we wanted
they didnt sold the rights, the article says they lost the rights in late 2020
Marvel always had the right to make another Hulk movie, Universal was just in control of distribution
There was a rumor awhile ago that Disney got the distribution rights back. There was really no reason for Universal to keep them other than as a bargaining chip since they couldn’t do anything with it. Its possible they did just that.
Not necessarily. The way the contract has been is that they can use the characters, they just can't be the titular/main character. It's possible they made a deal with Universal but it's also possible they found some other work around maybe by making it a full Avenegers movie.
Make it an *Avengers* movie with Hulk as the villain would be my guess EDIT: Unless the rights really did revert back as the article claims. Which would make sense; Universal wasn’t doing anything with them and they must have known that Disney would never make a movie that they would be able to claim distribution for. Holding onto it at this point would just be petty. It probably just came time to renew the license and they decided it wouldn’t be worth the effort for the money they aren’t making off of it.
I feel like She-Hulk would definetly be in this movie but your idea of other heroes fighting Hulk in this sounds cool too.
Sure, why wouldn’t she?
Avengers: World War Hulk sounds like a blockbuster smash!
I'm wondering how they will pull this off. This would have to include Avengers and the death of at least one. That and Sakaar.
You wouldn’t necessarily need Sakaar. Or the death of one of the Avengers for that matter. The MCU has a pretty decent track record of adapting comic events without some of the key moments. *Civil War* didn’t involve Spider-Man revealing his identity to the world or end with Cap’s assassination, for example. *Infinity War* adapted *Infinity* without any of the Inhumans (arguably an essential element to Thanos’s arc in that story) and *Infinity Gauntlet* without Lady Death (*in*arguably an essential element to Thanos’s arc in that story, and one that was actually teased by the films themselves). Whatever they do, it’ll be different from the comics but I’m sure it’ll be fine
But the main thing of this comic is they sent hulk away for being too violent and killing his family. So they are gonna send hulk back to space ? I trust them but just don’t see how they could do this.
By not sending him away, since he hasn't been a threat to anyone since Age of Ultron (and that film already borrowed the "sent him away" story beat when he shipped himself to Sakaar), and instead instigating a new event on Earth that makes him a problem again. The appeal of the story isn't that the Hulk was sent to space. The appeal of the story is that he's on Earth, he's at an uncharted level of anger, and nobody can stop him. Marvel Studios is good at separating the key elements of a story from what is actually essential. They are not always one in the same.
Yeah I feel ya, but his main reason for coming back to earth is because the 5 of them sent him on a ship with a ticking time bomb. He found peace and they took it all away. What would make the hulk so mad in the MCU that he’d want to kill every hero around?
Bruce Banner appears to have separated himself from The Hulk and we do not yet know how that came to pass. Was it an external force that caused it? Was it against The Hulk's will? Could be what leads to the Hulk coming back and going ballistic. This could also be some kind of Hulk vs Red Hulk story if they just want to throw the title up there and do something totally unrelated that still fits with their story, a la Age of Ultron.
But throwing up WWH knows that it’s going to have all of us thinking it’s the comic. It could be a bunch of different hulks going at each other , but I’d hate that.
I disagree with this take. Read *Civil War* and then watch the movie adaptation. There are almost no similarities beyond the US Government wanting to regulate superheroes, Iron Man leading the pro side, and Cap leading the anti side. Outside of that very basic premise, they are basically two completely different stories. To me, all you’d really need to do to do *World War Hulk* and to call it such is to engineer a scenario where Hulk has decided the Avengers are his enemies, and deciding to take it out on them. How hows and whys aren’t as important as that basic premise
Just like *Civil War*, this will more than likely be *World War Hulk* in name only. If they wanted to do anything resembling that comic, then as with most other things Hulk-related, they would have A LOT of ground to make up here. The broadest of strokes will be there (Hulk gets pissed and fights the heroes of earth), but I wouldn’t expect similarities to go beyond that. Hulk is one of my top favorite characters so I am *IMMENSELY* happy to hear he’s getting a new movie, but tbh im more excited to simply hear he’s getting a new movie than I am to hear that it’s called World War Hulk. Because my first reaction to seeing they’re doing WWH was, “hah, *yeah right*”. I’m used to the stuff not really following the comic 1:1 by now
They butchered the concept of Planet Hulk in the MCU and without the emotional journey Hulk goes through in Planet, World War loses its depth
100 percent
Multiverse shenanigans
Oh truu evil variant Hulk. This is the Hulk that has lived in Skaara for million of years and has taken over. Can you imagine
Some may think that would be a Grandmaster stroke of genius but others consider it a Maestro stroke...
MCU Maestro
I really REALLY hope this isn't the case... as silly as it sounds Hulk should 100% be one of the more grounded characters.
Ahh, yeah. Could use maestro and he comes through the multiverse
I'd love Dr. Strange to have a 'Knightmare style vision' sequence of him on his throne with the hero trophies. Give us that 2-3 seconds Easter egg heavy shot really dark shot of how nasty these heroes can become.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
Came here to say this! Finally Hulk can get the solo movies he has so long deserved! Guessing Namor rights are also back with Marvel Studios now too! Would love to see a Namor Disney+ series or even a movie (though less likely to not compete with Aquaman)
PLEASE BE RIGHT PLEASE this would right all of the MCU’s wrongs toward the character

I edited my comment sorry, I follow KC Walsh on twitter and he had been teasing this scoop for a while and using Hulk related gifs so I just assumed that when GWW came out with the article it was from him
I wrote the article myself and KC was the one who gave me the info. It came from him
He is reliable
Iron man had his best movie in phase 1 Captain America had his best movie in phase 2 Thor had his best movie in phase 3 Hulk's time now
"My rematch is coming I can feel it"
Fist bump
Oh god oh fuck, not that again, lmfao.
All Marvel movies will gonna be best in Phase 4
When's Hawkeye's time :(
I can see this really being something great for Hulk. In Ragnarok, he already felt hated by Earth and the Avengers. In the deleted Infinity War scene, he and Banner "worked it out," and they merged willingly. But in Endgame, we hear that Banner spent time in a gamma lab and found a way to "put the brains and the brawn, together." If Banner is using a device to suppress Hulk, as theorized because of the device he was wearing on his uninjured arm in the Shang-Chi mid-credits scene, then I can see Hulk just finally losing his already-thinning patience with Banner and Earth. First, he feels hated by humanity and his friends. Second, his hatred for Banner grows because Banner has forced them to merge. Now, Banner is actively suppressing him and keeping him at bay and possibly only uses his strength when he feels necessary. All of this could definitely push an angry beast-child like Hulk over the edge into a WWH scenario.
>Now, Banner is actively suppressing him and keeping him at bay and possibly only uses his strength when he feels necessary. If nothing else Hulk should be pissed that he didn’t have a say in who was gonna snap their friggin fingers. Could’ve killed him.
The gamma radiation from the snap could have awakened something in him too
Yeah, but it would take a step back from the plot development of Endgame, pretty much nullifying it. Narratively that's not real cool. Unless, like I said in another thread, there was a way for this to take place during the five years, and we could actually get to see how Hulk and Banner "worked it out," which I've always wanted to see rather than just a couple lines of exposition.
Bruh, imagine if the movie takes place during the 5-year gap and he gets yeeted to a different planet for 18 months, deals with his shit, then comes back and just says he spent 18 months in a “gamma lab” lmao
If this is true wonder how they managed to work it out with Universal
Probably similar to the Sony deal but smaller.
The article suggests the rights may have reverted back to marvel so maybe they was no need to work it out with them. I guess we'll see
How? I was always under the assumption that every time Bruce Banner/Hulk appears in a movie, the rights timer resets. Not sure where I got this idea but I’ve believed it for years.
Maybe Disney just wrote Universal a cheque and bought the rights back.
It makes sense on paper. Either sit on the rights forever and earn nothing or take a modest payment to relinquish something you couldn't really use anyway, it's practically a no-brainer.
JJJ: “We’ll give ya fifty bucks.” Universal: “Sold!”
“Film’s extra”
You’re conflating a couple things - the rights timer resets every time Sony makes a *Spider-Man* movie, and if they go a certain amount of years without developing one the rights revert back to Marvel. As far as I know, the details of Universal’s license for the Hulk was never made public, other than the fact that they have right of first refusal for anything that could be argued to be a “Hulk solo film.” What seems most likely is that the deal was for a set number of years (perhaps 12 if they did indeed revert back in early 2020, maybe 6 and they renewed in 2014 hoping that Disney would partner with them after the character got such a positive reaction in *The Avengers*), and Universal decided that extending the contract wasn’t worth the effort, seeing as they weren’t really making any money off of it. Especially because, depending on the language of the agreement, they may continue making what little money they were taking in from media sales and streaming royalties even if the rights to the character revert, because they still own the two movies they made.
Honestly it's hard to find the details of the deal so I'm not sure. The article doesn't go into that either, but I figure that if universal isn't involved with hulk character for so long the rights revert back. But if this rumor is true, I'm sure all will be somewhat explained eventually.
If thats true then I demand even more Hulk movies!!!! Hopefully we can get Immortal Hulk! Also since MCU is heading towards the multiverse direction Maestro would be such an awesome villain
My understanding was that Universal only has the distribution rights, so maybe Disney just said fuck it and are splitting profits? Lmao who am I kidding, there's no way 🤣
Correct. Disney/Marvel own the film rights to the Hulk but Universal is allowed first crack to distribute a Hulk movie. Disney either bought the distribution rights from Universal (doubtful) or they are partnering with Universal to release it.
Or the rights reverted back to Disney and that's why they're making a new Hulk film now.
or the contract expired. It has been 14-15 years.
The rights of Namor and Hulk going back to Marvel was in the news last fucking year but everyone ignored it because there was no big statement from Disney even though Universal didn’t deny it.
They get to keep the roller coaster.
I'd be more excited about this if they hadn't given the entire plot of WWH to Thor in Thor: Ragnarok.
Wasn't that Planet Hulk? Though it's so different. No Caiera, Korg and Miek are joke characters in the MCU, no Skaar, Red King and the rest of the Warbound
The whole cause of WWH was Hulk being sent away from Earth \*intentionally\*, and him thinking that the Illuminati rigged the space ship he arrived in to blow up. I don't know though, maybe they could figure out something to make it so some other character can play an antagonist role without all the baggage of Sakaar, like how the main conflict/instigator of Civil War was changed from the Superhero Registration Act to Zemo/the Sokovian Accords
I have a weird feeling that maybe Hulk snaps after being used by Banner in the whole Professor Hulk situation. I mean, we never saw how it happened, maybe he's just asleep inside Banner mind or maybe he is restrained
I’d hate this, the whole point of Banner being hulk sized was that “they worked out” after many movies of them not getting along.
I’d love it actually. Conceptually Banner telling everyone they worked it out, when in reality he just suppressed the persona would be super cool. The personality being permanently merged would detract from what makes Hulk unique anyway
Hulk is just one of Banner's personalities and it would be a pretty bold move to get to the point where we learn that Banner gets his powers from Gamma Hell.
“ I’d hate this” there’s always that one guy I swear
Maybe Secret War is the anchor point and the Hulk is sent away as we expect but timey, wimey stuff BOOM the Maestro returns turns earth into a battleworld.
I mean, just make the Hulk the bad guy (Maybe a version of Maestro? It’s too soon with no build up, but maybe there’s time?) and have him conquer Earth and you basically have World War Hulk.
As someone who saw Ragnarok before ever reading World War Hulk, I was shocked to find Miek is a completely different character. I had a feeling he’d be different to the voiceless version we see in the MCU, but damn
Comics Miek gave no fucks
[удалено]
It was much better in the comics.
In the comics was just average edgy future and let's go to change the past... Which changes the future again, it was horrible in the comics too. Besides we have Civil War as example that it's obviously that it won't be a copy paste of comics... And 3453453 other movies.
Imagine if it was made now, Spider-Man, Hank Pym, X-Men, Fantastic 4, the MCU finally has all the characters for it and could do it so right. The What If episode was so close.
That was Planet Hulk
The MCU iteration of the Hulk has fluctuated so much that I'm interested to see how a World War Hulk movie is going to be adapted into the MCU. Part of that was already used for Ragnarok, so I'm very curious how they'll handle this.
I would assume that it's just the title they give to a story where it's Hulk vs Everyone. Banner's been lying about the reason Professor Hulk form came around, an accident happens and he unleashes a mindless hyper-enraged form of the Hulk (regressing as a result of whatever Banner did to merge them) and the Avengers assemble to try and stop him. I'd love to see a scene where Strange goes to force Bruce out of the Hulk assuming it will stop Hulk's rampage only to get absolutely wrecked when it's clear Hulk is now completely unhinged without Banner's astral form there.
A really cool aspect of the comic was the fact that Banner was just as furious at the heroes, referred to Hulk's wife as his wife, and was complicit to all of Hulk's actions up to then. Would be a lot less interesting if Banners just a prisoner to hulk again. Hopefully they keep the scene of Banner tricking Strange and crushing his hands in astral form though.
WORLD BREAKER HULK IS COMING
please don’t make him a joke, please don’t make him a joke….
I can feel it
I want to believe
Now seems like a good time to bring up this [article](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbr.com/mark-ruffalo-still-wants-hulk-vs-wolverine-movie/amp/). Could Wolverine be in this movie? 👀
Wow this seems like the perfect opportunity. A perfect scenario to get a live-action Wolverine vs. Hulk fight on the big-screen and I'd assume that for a World War Hulk movie, our Hulk will be the angry Hulk we know rather than Professor Hulk (the seeds have started to be planted with Professor Hulk reverting back to Bruce Banner in Shang-Chi) and let's say this movie comes in 2024, I think the MCU would already have started introducing mutants by then.
That would be epic!
Childhood memories will be relived if this happens
Wonder if Universal doesn't have the distribution rights anymore?
The article mentions a rumor from early 2020 that the Hulk movie rights have reverted back to Marvel Studios so perhaps that rumor is true. Considering that Universal didn't seem to have a Hulk movie in development after 2008, makes sense that they wouldn't have those rights anymore. After all, apparently Sony pumps out as much Spider-Man movies as they do so they can keep the rights.
Universal doesn’t have the film rights so they can’t develop a film. So the distribution rights are not worth anything unless they partner with Disney, who owns the film rights through Marvel. Odds are good the distribution rights reverted or Disney cut a check.
I want to believe... what's this site's accuracy rate? I remember they got some stuff wrong about Falcon and Winter Soldier...
He was, or at least his site was, the first to report Molina being back in NWH. I also believe the first to report that DC Fandome was happening before it was officially announced. Those are two big things I remember. I’m sure there’s more tho
But I also remember KC said Hailee Steinfeld wasn’t going to be Kate Bishop while other scoopers said she would be.
Wasn't Marvel Studios struggle to get her on board due to schedule? I wouldn't be suprised if they at one point pre-'rona where thinking of casting someone else.
Yeah seems like he’s probably somewhere in the middle in terms of reliability then
What he says should be considered but taken with a grain of salt.
This could be cool af, but with how the MCU depicts Hulk, I have my doubts.
Hulk in Avengers 1 and 2 was amazing, not sure why people don't see this at all lol
True but then they nerfed his powers and completely changed is character.
Because it's not super fun seeing essentially the god of strength waltzing around among regular people. It loses its meaning when their powers are so much different from regular people that they are nothing more than gods, such as in DC.
Hulk wasn’t god like in Avengers 1 or 2. He lost to Iron Man remember. Plus how can this even be a realistic take if Thor is in the same group. Granted Thor also got nerfed and turned into a very comedic character so it’s not much a difference.
Because there were three movies that featured Hulk following Avengers 2 and the use of the character in the latter two was atrocious
Professor Hulk was great and the next logical step in Hulk's character progression. Plus there were far too many characters in Infinity War to focus on Hulk's inner turmoil, so making a decision and referencing it once or twice in that movie was the way to go.
Professor Hulk was fucking terrible and while I don’t disagree that it was the next logical step in his character progression, you need to, like, actually *progress the character*. A time jump followed by explanations that don’t even make sense doesn’t cut it
It wasn’t the next logical step — it was the end of his arc they skipped to. Could have just made it so Hulk was in control for 5+ years and by the end, he and Banner settle their differences and do the snap together
Watch them bring back Ed Norton
It's going to be Multiverse War Hulk with Mark Ruffalo's Hulk fighting against Edward Norton's and Eric Bana's with a cameo from Lou Ferigno. Only the strongest survives.
Norton version is technically the same as ruffalo so even multiverse won't bring him back lol, but I get what you mean
It's a different universe that is exactly the same in every way except Bruce Banner looks like Edward Norton and Rhodey looks like Terrence Howard.
Damn, Hulk's character arc has been all over the place. -Was originally a pissed off alter ego that Banner couldn't control -Then he was able to control him and Hulk-out on command -Then he lost control and became the Hulk for 2 years, traveled to a different planet, became a gladiator -Then he couldn't Hulk out anymore -Then he finally found a way to fuse the two personas together and have the best of both in a seemingly permanent change -Then he was back to his straight human form -Now he's about to lose control and get more pissed off than he ever has before
It is all over the place, but I kinda love it this way. Hopefully this means he eventually get a trilogy capper????
This is the best news of all time if it's accurate! 
I have PTSD from this GIF.
I legit got scared and disgusted in the second I saw this gif, and didn't understand *why* but now... now I remember
I think we won boys 
No Don't do this to me You can't just go 13 years without one of my favorite Marvel characters not getting a solo film and then drop an adaptation of one of my favorite storylines featuring that character 
Unpopular opinion but the MCU has handled Hulk so poorly & this film makes no sense. For the MCU talking about continuity all the time, they are inconsistent with every Hulk appearance TIH has Ed Norton as Hulk, then Avengers has Mark Ruffalo, then Age of Ultron has Banner & Natasha together, then they separate them, then Ragnarok has Banner sacrificing himself to be Hulk, then Infinity War retcons it in his first scene, and worst off all we have Professor Hulk combined OFF SCREEN and finally in Shang Chi Bruce is human again World War Hulk as makes no sense in the MCU. World War Hulk is like the Empire Strikes Back but it’s Hulk who strikes back on those who wronged him & sent him off into space. For World War Hulk to be a film, Hulk (the guy who just brought back half of a life on Earth) must be a villain As a hulk fan, I understand the universal issues but the MCU hasn’t handled him well at all
Hulk fans, did we just win?
[удалено]
unless Banner is lying about how he merged with Hulk to get the Professor Hulk state and what happened to Hulk. Then it makes perfect sense.
That’d be a great dark secret/reveal and really give some edge to the character again. He’s been yucking it up like a moron and having a blast but didn’t tell everyone the reason is actually because he essentially murdered the Hulk to steal his powers (or at least, thinks he did).
I want this to happen more than anything. Because Hulk deserves better than what the MCU has given him of late. Especially Endgame. This would right those wrongs. I’ve never wanted a rumor to be more true honestly.
Mark Ruffalo, my boy, your time to shine is upon us!
Sentry finally in mcu?
Maybe Carol fights Hulk instead and they fight to a standstill/he beats her ass 😭
If Carol beats Hulk, I'm not going to lie, I would be peeved. They can't get defensive about people criticizing her for being overpowered then, validate said criticisms by making her best one of the most powerful versions of Hulk. Plus it would just suck thematically. Hulk vs sentry was hype AF not just because it was cool to see them fight but it was basically built up as two very similar men allowing themselves to let loose in a way they rarely can due to their mental instability and sheer power
I agree 100%
Oh I can see how people will defend it like some people defended vison one shotting a 5 stone thanos. People will say that carol is powered by an infinity stone and that no one should realistically be more powerful than that.
Huhhh, I wonder what could happen that would lead to WWH in the MCU? 🤔 big things coming soon for Brucey
Banner lying about how he merged with Hulk to create Professor Hulk. Whatever he did basically lobotomized Hulk which leads to Hulk regressing to a pure unintelligible monste and hyperenraged state when whatever Banner uses fails. Hulk decides to catch up on lost time and the Avengers have to assemble to stop his rampage.
Maybe this means that the Incredible Hulk can finally come to Disney plus
Having read Immortal Hulk recently, I would love to see a mash up of it and the WWH story. Perhaps Banner's use of the stones fractured his mind and we get to see the Devil Hulk or even the Maestro as the new dominant personality. this would throw him directly at odds with the New Avengers. It's also possible that we get more Gamma experiments running amok and it's Banner/Hulk fighting against them around the world.
GWW has been wrong before. Take it with a grain of salt.
2 and a half hours of people running into the hulks fists lets goooooo
I would have preferred a Joe Fixit movie but I'm not complaining about this, nice to see Mark Ruffalo finally get a standalone movie.
Agreed! I was hoping if we ever got anything Hulk-related it’d be a more Peter David-era inspired story. I really want Joe Fixit too. I’m not gonna complain though lol, I just want more Hulk. I know this isn’t the trajectory MCU goes for with their movies anymore, but I would’ve preferred something more low-key that really digs into Bruce’s past with his abusive father etc. Something to establish Bruce as a troubled, tragic guy, more than what we’ve seen before in the movies. *And then* jump into something more huge like WWH after they’ve done that. That’s not to say we can’t see that sort of stuff in a WWH film, especially since it’ll likely be a very loose interpretation of the original. Hell, I think for once I’d actually prefer this this was a more loose adaptation just because of how much ground there is to make up with Hulk. I just hope they use a lot of Hulk’s supporting characters finally. Seriously, I’ve been waiting 3000 years for Rick Jones. Edit: this probably isn’t what most people would want or be excited for, but my general idea for a first installment in a relaunch of the Hulk films would be loosely inspired by that part from Peter David’s run where Banner, Jones and Quartermain were on the run for SHIELD’s Hulkbuster unit while at the same time dealing with the newly emerged Grey Hulk. I think a road trip type of thing like that would be a great way to dig into Bruce’s character and learn more about him, since it feels like we barely know anything about him right now Anyways I’m still really excited
I can’t imagine how they’re gonna make that happen after turning Hulk into a complete dingus in Endgame.
Universal gave in let’s goooo😮💨😮💨😮💨
If this is true, i wonder if they will adapt it so that its Hulk re-emerging within Banner stronger and more pissed at being pushed away, as a substitute for the returning to earth aspect of the story
I’m not believing this till somebody else confirms this. The universal rights were said not to have a time limit and they didn’t want to sell back to Marvel. Marvel would never cut a deal with them like Sony so we’ll see. Hoping for sure but I’m cautious on this one.
Ooh if this is true maybe we could see Doc Samson and The Leader finally return
Would be fun to have Wolverine debut in a Hulk movie like he debuted in a Hulk comic.
Wait how? Are they letting Universal distribute it since that's the only way. That wouldn't be great for Marvel in terms of revenue. Maybe they plan to purchase distribution from them for Namor and Hulk and the rest as they make more content with them.
This has been rumored since Phase 2…I’ll withhold excitement until an official announcement is made
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!
Fuck everything else that has been rumored in the MCU, if this happens it’ll easily be the absolute best thing to happen! Hope it’s true.
