Mark Ruffalo Returning as the Hulk for ‘Spider-Man 4’ – Hollywood Reporter
But wait, that’s not all.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has found a smashing star to join Tom Holland in the Sony/Marvel movie sequel.
Mark Ruffalo is returning to reprise the role of Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, in the feature, which comes 14 years after the actor joined the MCU in The Avengers. The move had been rumored for a while but only firmed up as the script came together and as production gears up for beginning this month in England.
At the same time, Michael Mando, known for his work on Better Call Saul, is returning to reprise the role of the Scorpion, the villain character whom he first played in Spider-Man: Homecoming, the 2017 feature that kicked off the Holland-centric Spider-Man movies.
Holland’s Spider-Man films have always paired him with a more seasoned actor, such as Robert Downey Jr. (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Samuel L. Jackson (Spider-Man: Far From Home) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Spider-Man: No Way Home), playing key characters Iron Man, Nick Fury and Doctor Strange, respectively. (The movies invoke the tone of classic Marvel comic Marvel Team-Up, a series from the 1970s and 1980s that featured Spider-Man partnering with another hero for an escapade.)
Brand New Day, however, is stacking the deck. Jon Bernthal is also on the call sheet to reprise his role of the vigilante known as the Punisher. It’s the character’s first big-screen appearance in the MCU and first movie appearance in general since 2008 action movie Punisher: War Zone, in which the late Ray Stevenson played the role.
The plot details are being kept under the vest, but you can bet that, in the mighty Marvel manner, Spider-Man, Punisher and Hulk will all fight one another before figuring out who the real bad guys are.

Thunderbolts, da new team for great natio – back in your box Alexei, is a smart film. It’s a lot better than the last Cap movie and the New Avengerz could really take off.
It’s also a good demonstration of what the MCU should be doing on TV series and films. The film gives enough info about Walker regardless of watching the Falcon and Winter Soldier series.
The addition of Bob aka Sentry aka Void, combined with the film’s focus on mental health is a good one. The fractured personalities of him also, in part, reflect the cultural messages to him. That he has to be better, faster, stronger, more violent.
One oddity is the throwaway inclusion of Taskmaster, not sure what the idea there was. Overall the concept of these broken characters finding ways to recover together is well-executed.
The epilogues are good too, with the post-credits scene setting up both the team’s wider relationships and the FF movie.

The writer said that in the script Taskmaster is around for the entire movie.

Of CA: BNW, Thunderbolts, and FF: FS, Thunderbolts was my favorite. Was it one of the best MCU films? Probably not, but I simply had fun with it. I had a good time. Of the three, it’s the only one I would watch again.

They should never have gone with this as their tagline.
