At least for now.

The End of 'Avengers: Endgame' Has Permanently Changed The Hulk

It goes without saying that the events of Avengers: Endgame will have a huge impact on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, we've already seen how the film is playing an important role (in more ways than one) in Spider-Man: Far From Home via the new trailer for the sequel arriving this summer. But one character will have to figure out how to contend with a different kind of permanent change, and that's The Hulk. And we're not just talking about just being emotionally scarred either.

During a live Q&A event with ComicBook.com reporter Brandon Davis, co-director Joe Russo was asked about the injury sustained by the Hulk when using the makeshift Iron Gauntlet to snap everyone back to life, undoing what Thanos did in Avengers: Infinity War. At the end of the movie we see his arm in a sling during Tony Stark's funeral, and it appears this isn't something he'll be able to heal from. Joe Russo explained:

"He's lost an arm. He lost Natasha. That's not coming back. He's damaged himself. I don't know. It's interesting. That's permanent damage, the same way that it was permanent damage with Thanos. It's irreversible damage. His arm, if you noticed, is a lot skinnier. It's blackened. So, he loses a lot of strength there."​

Luckily he's smart enough to find a way around it. Can't stop Bruce Bruce baybay.

Hopefully they do something to bring back his old strength. Reverse snap aside, I'm not a fan of seeing Hulk sidelined since IW onward at all.

vibranium-arm hulk.

let's go.

since Prof Hulk is the new standard, the cool thing about this character is that Mark Ruffalo can play him for years without worrying about the 'getting too old' stuff.

He'll be the defacto science dude for a few movies until they need him to punch something and then out comes a metal arm or something.

If only there was someone in the MCU who's already versed in giving people sweet robot arms

Hulk's role and involvement in both IW and Endgame was ridiculously low. Just retire him at this rate ..

Isn't there a comic storyline where Hulk becomes a bad guy? Maybe they're setting something up with that

I think they'll just retire him. It feels from the OGs only Hemsworth is gonna continue for now.

He'll probably just help with science stuff.

They all ready made him less fun, so sure take an arm as well.

Yep.

Started out awesome, kept getting nerfed more and more. Didn't even get into a fight in Endgame.

Thor followed the opposite trajectory.

It's way more interesting when every fight isn't won by Banner going rage mode. Adds way more depth to the character.

So all of the OG Avengers except Thor are essentially done. Though I guess Banner can help out from their HQ outside the field.
