Find out Mark Ruffalo’s reason for not being part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal. Get insights into his comments and what it could mean for the Hulk’s return. Mark Ruffalo did not hold anything back this time.The Oscar-nominated actor appeared on Thursday's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where the host mocked him on why he had not been mentioned as a member of the cast in the next Marvel movie Avengers: Doomsday.
This is regardless of the fact that the Task star has portrayed the comic-book character of the Hulk and his alter ego Bruce Banner in previous films of the franchise.
Why are you not in the Avengers trailer? Fallon asked him. Every time you appear on the show you spoilt me and you get into trouble.
Ruffalo responded, saying they chose to dispose of me sooner than I can reveal how the next film turns out.
To which Fallon replied, Alright that makes sense.
The late-night talk show host is right. Ruffalo has a record of telling too much about his superhero movies, but not always on the NBC program with Fallon.
As an example, he has done it on Instagram in October 2017, when he streamed an accidental part of Thor: Ragnarok.
In May 2018, it was apparent that he had leaked information about the conclusion of Avengers: Infinity War several months prior to the release of the film.
In the D23 convention, Ruffalo had told Good Morning America, Wait 'til you see this next one. "Ha... everybody dies." Then he adds half of them die which was true.
His interview companion, co-star Don Cheadle, interrupted him at once: Dude! Dude." Ruffalo tried to have it repeated, and even requested, Can we have that part again?
There have been other times.
It is unknown, though, whether Ruffalo will join the cast of Avengers: Doomsday that will include thousands of his fellow-Marvel stars. In March, the official cast announcement featured dozens of alumni of the projects of the studio, including Chris Hemsworth; Simu Liu; Robert Downey Jr.; Letitia Wright; Anthony Mackie; Ian McKellen; Vanessa Kirby; and Florence Pugh.Ruffalo will also reappear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day with Tom Holland in the lead role, which is also set to be released next year. The movie is scheduled to be released on Dec. 18, 2026.
