Hulk Movies in Order, Explained
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Edward Norton plays Banner in the only solo Hulk film of the MCU. His origin is covered in the opening credits, and the rest of the film is a chase: General Thaddeus Ross and the US Army hunt Banner while he looks for a cure. It ends with a brawl in Harlem against Tim Roth’s Emil Blonsky, the Abomination. Universal held the distribution rights for 15 years, which is why the film only joined Disney+ on June 16, 2023.
The Avengers (2012)
Ruffalo takes over the role. Natasha Romanoff finds Banner working as a doctor in India and brings him in to track the Tesseract. After he loses control on the helicarrier, he returns for the Battle of New York, where the Hulk smashes Loki into the floor of Stark Tower in one of the franchise’s most quoted moments.
Iron Man 3 (2013)
In the post-credits scene, Banner has fallen asleep while Tony Stark talks him through the events of the film. It is a gag, but it sets up the friendship that drives the next movie.
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Banner and Stark build Ultron, and the AI turns on its makers. Wanda Maximoff triggers a Hulk rampage in Johannesburg that Iron Man stops in the Hulkbuster armor. After the battle of Sokovia, the Hulk flies off alone in a Quinjet.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
The Quinjet landed on Sakaar, where the Hulk has spent two years as the Grandmaster’s arena champion. Thor is forced to fight him before the two escape together and head back to Asgard to face Hela.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Thanos beats the Hulk in the opening scene, and for the rest of the film the Hulk refuses to come out. Banner fights the Battle of Wakanda inside the Hulkbuster armor instead.
Captain Marvel (2019)
The mid-credits scene shows Banner with the surviving Avengers as Carol Danvers arrives at their headquarters, linking directly to Endgame.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
The Hulk created his own kingdom in Thor: Ragnarok in the two years following his departure from Earth. He did this by defeating other gladiators on Sakaar to become the Grandmaster’s champion, which brought him and Thor back together in the arena. Hulk must unite with Thor in Thor: Ragnarok to fight against Hela.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
The threat of Thanos has emerged from the cosmos while the Avengers and their allies have continued to defend the planet from threats that are too great for any one hero to manage. Infinity Stones are stones with boundless power, and Thanos wants to gather all six of them in order to wield them to impose his dark will on the whole planet. The future of Earth and existence have never been more in doubt.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Five years after the snap, Banner has merged his intellect with the Hulk’s body. This Smart Hulk helps plan the Time Heist, and he is the one who wears the new gauntlet to bring back everyone Thanos erased, badly injuring his arm in the process.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Banner appears in human form with Wong and Carol Danvers in the mid-credits scene, studying the ten rings.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
The nine-episode Disney+ series follows Banner’s cousin Jennifer Walters, played by Tatiana Maslany, who gains Hulk powers after a car accident. Banner trains her in the first episode, and the finale introduces his son Skaar.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)
Ruffalo returns as Banner opposite Tom Holland in the fourth Holland Spider-Man film, which opened in US theaters on July 31, 2026. It is a Sony release, so it is not on Disney+. It became available to rent or buy on digital stores (Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home and YouTube) on October 6, 2026, with 4K, Blu-ray and DVD due December 15, 2026. Sony has not announced a streaming subscription date yet.
