Marvel avoids excessive associations between the media and fans, and even a line at the end of "Avengers 2" and a special effects screen are not spared.
As Marvel's new book, The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, mentions:
"It's a bit too much."
Back in 2015, before The Avengers 2 was released...
Overwhelming media reports have reported that the Hulk's next adventure story will be adapted from the favorite story of Marvel Comics fans.
This refers to The Planet Hulk, the story of the Hulk being banished to the planet Saka, where he went from slave to gladiator and eventually king.
The follow-up to this story is more classic, "Hulk World War".
Note: Two days ago, foreign media rumors that Marvel is developing the "Hulk World War" movie.
At the time, Marvel avoided fans associating with the "Planet Hulk," and Kevin Feige urgently contacted director Joss Whedon:
"Joss, we can't do that, people will think we're doing Planet Hulk."
In the original ending of Avengers 2, Hulk flew into space in a Kun-style plane.
Nick Fury told Black Widow that they had lost contact somewhere near Saturn.
After Kevin Feige's intervention, space was changed to Earth's atmosphere, and the line was changed to "Banda Sea", somewhere on Earth:
The relevant special effects screen was also changed to the blue color of the Earth's atmosphere:
According to Kevin Fitch recalls:
"We never even thought about making Planet Hulk, and even though we thought the comics were cool, Banner wasn't part of Planet Hulk."
Probably for Marvel at the time, Banner was important to the MCU Hulk, so it was not possible to exclude him in one of the films.
In addition, most of the footage of "Hulk Planet" may be CGI special effects, and Marvel did not have any plans to do so at that time.
Embarrassingly, at the suggestion of Guardians of the Galaxy executive producer Jonathan Schwartz, Marvel eventually decided to let the Hulk go to space.
In 2017, the Marvel movie "Thor 3" was released, and the relevant plot referenced many "Hulk Planet" comic book settings.
One day, Kevin Feige happened to see Joss Whedon, and Kevin Feige quickly chased after him: "Hey, guess where hulk went?" He went to space. ”
