Banner Is Back
When we last saw him in Thor: Ragnarok, Bruce Banner revealed that he might not ever return again, as the Hulk’s strength had grown enough to keep himself in control. Of course, we knew that Mark Ruffalo had to show his face in Infinity War, though, and sure enough this trailer confirms that Banner will be back in the team-up movie.
The first time we see him in the preview, a shirtless Banner is laying in a hole in the floor with none other than Doctor Strange and Wong staring over him. It’s clear what’s happened here – as with The Avengers, Hulk has fallen out of the sky and transformed into Banner on the way down. It seems that this time he landed in Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum. No doubt his arrival on Earth follows a battle with Thanos and his cronies aboard the Asgardian refugee ship (see the Ragnarok post-credits scene for context).
Another clip shows that Banner will be reunited with Natasha. Unlike Scarlet Witch and Vision, though, the scene they share looks rather awkward and subdued. Is this a hint that “Brutasha,” as the fans call them, is coming to an end? Scarlett Johansson has already said as much in interviews.
