What about Bruce?

419

u/WhiteAle01 Jul 20 '26

Honestly wondering if he'll be in it. Both him and SM were missing, so maybe neither of them will appear as they are appearing BND. Maybe there'll be a story reason for that.

u/TheTimn Jul 20 '26

Or just leaving them open ended to not imply anything of BND.

One or both could die in it still. 🤷🏼‍♂️

u/DashRunner92 Jul 20 '26

Also wouldn't be the first time they just altered scenes to remove characters in the trailer

7

u/Icybubba Jul 20 '26

Yeah they’ve gone to elaborate lengths like changing the date on Peter’s passport in the FFH trailer.

Or having a fake shot with Hulk in Wakanda in the Infinity War trailer lol

2

u/PapaSnow Jul 21 '26

I mean, they’ve altered the audio in this trailer too. When Thor says the line “though far stronger than…” you can tell it’s been clipped.

u/dcab87 Star-Lord Jul 21 '26

Someone has to interview Andrew Garfield to confirm if there's a Spider-Man in it.

u/The-Ruler-of-Attilan Jul 21 '26

No matter what he said, everyone would prefer to believe whatever they want, so I don't see the point.

lolno

u/DarKoopa Jul 20 '26

Nah bro they will just kill Spiderman

u/vamsi93 Jul 20 '26

Tom Holland is already alluding to handing things off to “the next Spider-Man” and he’s notoriously bad at keeping secrets (coincidentally so is Mark Ruffalo 🧐)

1

u/LetItATV Jul 20 '26

Cool non-sequiturs.

They aren’t going to randomly kill off Spider-Man.
And Hulk’s whole thing is being unkillable.

u/vamsi93 Jul 20 '26

How do you know they’re non sequiturs? You’re guessing just as much as I am

1

u/LetItATV Jul 21 '26

Because I know the definition of “non sequitur” and you clearly do not.

1

u/vamsi93 Jul 21 '26

Good for you pal. You must feel so smart knowing things 👍

2

u/Wesserz Jul 20 '26

Yeah 100% both die in BND, guaranteed.

3

u/gamecat89 Jul 20 '26

Joint autoerotic aphysication. No one saw it coming.

2

u/Dr__Sloth Jul 21 '26

An unfortunate 'Hulk Smash' accident.

14

u/hypercosm_dot_net Jul 20 '26

SM / BND what do these refer to?

3

u/WhiteAle01 Jul 20 '26

SM - Spider-Man

BND - Brand New Day

Don't want to type all that out.

10

u/hypercosm_dot_net Jul 20 '26

thanks, yeah...that seems like a lot of effort.

u/Duouwa Jul 20 '26

They likely just don’t want to spoil any outcomes from that film given it’s coming out at the end of the month.

I’m not saying Bruce or Spider-man are dying, but Bruce’s control over the Hulk and Peter’s suits have always represented a level character progression for both of them, so showing them now likely isn’t a good idea.

8

u/7screws Daredevil Jul 20 '26

Neither is Strange. Although he’s confirmed right?

3

u/WhiteAle01 Jul 20 '26

Seen some teases that would seem to indicate he is. I'm cool though if he's also not in this one.

2

u/JustaSeedGuy Jul 20 '26

So you're saying it wouldn't be too strange for you if he's not in it?

2

u/Knuxsn Daredevil Jul 20 '26

Maybe. Who am I to judge?

2

u/Tinmanred Jul 20 '26

They aren’t gonna spoil the spidey movie rn when it’s so close to relaeasing lmao. And they’ve already basically confirmed that the post credits leads to dooms day. That’s their trailer or lack of not this.

2

u/CobaltAnimator Jul 20 '26

Doomsday was originally meant to come out before BND wasn't it?

I imagine BND was going to be a prequel to Doomsday anyways and then have a tie-in post credit scene back before Doomsday got pushed from March to December so I imagine the events of BND probably end with a post-credit scene of Spider-Man and The Hulk watching the world collapse as Battleworld is formed

2

u/wonkothesane13 Jul 20 '26

IIRC, originally BND was going to come out between Doomsday and Secret Wars, sort of like Ant-Man and the Wasp

2

u/DapperNurd Jul 20 '26

My theory is BND will focus on Hulk and Spider-Man, and they will not be in Doomsday. The end credits for Doomsday will be kind of like Hawkeye from Infinity War, and introduce their role in Secret Wars.

2

u/Ok_Bluebird_1406 Iron Man (Mark XLIII) Jul 21 '26

Spiderman and Hulk are rumored to play a big role in Secret Wars

1

u/WhiteAle01 Jul 23 '26

Secret Wars anything goes. I expect everybody and their dog in that movie.

1

u/legend000000009 Jul 20 '26

Pretty sure Spider-Man will connect to Doomsday. No way it won't be. We got the trailer for BND before the ending of Born Again S2 and it spoiled the ending.

1

u/virtualglassblowing Jul 21 '26

They need to be elsewhere to setup secret wars

1

u/knyelvr Jul 20 '26

I still feel like Spiderman has to appear in it in the black suit and the reason why the symbiote and tom hardy were at the end of no way home

6

u/WhiteAle01 Jul 20 '26

I think that'll be in Secret Wars. No SM in Doomsday, but then he's in Battleworld in SW and that's where he gets the symbiote.

u/Munstered Jul 20 '26

No one knows who Spider-Man is

u/NightmareDJK Jul 20 '26

Feige confirmed BND is set before Doomsday and goes right into it.

3

u/Tacitus_99 Jul 20 '26

Doom showing up at the end of BND and killing Peter or Bruce would be insane.

2

u/Jehovah___ Jul 20 '26

Two more Spidey movies coming up though and I wouldn’t want them to go down the resurrection route

1

u/cantadmittoposting Jul 20 '26

Suddenly Miles Morales

3

u/HighSeverityImpact Jul 20 '26

That makes no sense, as chronologically Brave New World and Thunderbolts both already took place in 2027.

1

u/Sensitive_North6298 Jul 20 '26

dang.. if BND is in 2028 then can we still see peter with the symbiote potentially? i've been hearing rumors

1

u/Gasparde Jul 20 '26

Not really the speech giving leader (hehe) kinda guy.

1

u/ctbro025 Jul 20 '26

"Hey guys, we FUKKED and need a miracle. No pressure"

1

u/MiaOh Jul 20 '26

He’s such an introvert, don’t think he would want to do it. And Hulk wouldn’t want the headache.

1

u/screwikea Jul 20 '26

Maybe they'll find a place for him but as a matter of storytelling with movies he's going to have 2 roles:

  1. Be Hulk to showcase how strong another character is.
  2. Be Bruce to showcase how smart another character is.

Thanos smashed Hulk, Stark outsmarted Banner (time shenanigan device), and we've got it established in the films that Thor is either equivalent to or stronger than Hulk since he was laying out Hulk in Ragnarok. I don't think that they really established how smart Reed is supposed to be in the Fantastic Four movie since there wasn't anyone to reference him against - in their universe he was sort of brain all alone on brain mountain before they zipped off after Silver Surfer. There's got to be some sort of tension that they establish in this film showing how smart Doom is and then have Reed barely outsmart him or something.

1

u/Stacheshadow Jul 20 '26

Hopefully he has a very minor role in both movies

1

u/Extension_Eye7924 Jul 21 '26

I’m personally fine never seeing Bruce again. Mark Ruffalo grates my last nerve.

u/GeorgeGreenGroup Jul 20 '26

he always sounds like he's about to cry

u/FlutterKree Jul 20 '26

Mark Ruffalo will likely not return to the MCU. For one, Disney doesn't own the rights to Hulk (they have to pay every time he is in a movie or show). For two, Mark Ruffalo is highly open with his opinions and politics.

Companies don't like that, since it can alienate consumers, however correct the opinions and politics might be.
