How many of you remember the promotional spree for Avengers: Infinity War? The material omitted Hawkeye and Ant-Man completely from any footage or images, which infuriated the viewers. Even the ones who were not necessarily the fans of the said characters. The two characters did not show up in the movie at all. While Ant-Man's absence being explained in the follow-up film, we are yet to get answers for Hawkeye's truancy. The history seems to be repeating itself. Despite numerous new images and footages of Avengers: Endgame out there on the internet, we are yet to get a look at the green giant - Hulk. Priyanka Chopra in Talks with Avengers: Endgame Director Joe Russo for a Project and We Wonder If It’s Ms Marvel AKA Kamala Khan.

While Bruce Banner shows up multiple times in the promotional material, his alter-ego, that of a superhero, is yet to pop up. The new footage and posters that dropped today on the internet also don't show the friendly monster. The new IMAX poster does show the Hulkbuster, which was Bruce Banner's armour in Infinity War as well.

Speaking of Infinity War and Hulkbuster, it hurts us to repeat that while the promotional footage of the 2018 movie did show Hulk, the movie hard;y featured him. The fans were distracted with fake footage in the trailer.

So, what exactly is the deal with Hulk? Is MCU done with the character? Or maybe they are done with the actor, Mark Ruffalo? Will the character be limited to wearing a Hulkbuster like in the previous Avengers movie? There has been a joke on Twitter where the actor was fired from filming online.

Also, there has been next to zero backlash online about Hulk's absence from the MCU. The fans must be assured that the superhero will show up in the final film.

Reassurance also comes in the form of official merchandise for the film. Official tie-in toys for Avengers: Endgame also includes Hulk but wearing a special white suit. The same suit that we see every superhero wearing in the second trailer. We are definitely rooting for Hulk to show up in the upcoming movie and make Thanos bite the dust.
