Previous speculation suggested that the Green Goliath would return from solitary confinement during the film in order to battle a new threat, possibly the Red Hulk. According to Ruffalo, though, that is not the case and Hulk won’t even be a part of Civil War.

Speaking to BadTaste.it about where the character is during Civil War, the actor said, “The reason is too great to be revealed in this movie. I was in the script but then they removed my character. They don’t want to reveal where he is and why. I don’t even know if Hulk will be back soon.”

Could Ruffalo just be playing with fans or is The Hulk really out of the frame for the foreseeable future? Previously, Robert Downey Jr. claimed that Ruffalo was indeed in Civil War, although the actor himself claimed to have no knowledge of that at that particular time. Then there are also stories that Ruffalo has been spotted on the set of Civil War, although even then his scenes might not make the final cut of the movie in order to prolong the mystery over Hulk’s whereabouts.

We guess there’s only one way to find out Hulk’s status for sure: that’s checking out Anthony and Joe Russo’s Captain America: Civil War when it hits screens on May 6th, 2016.
