Mark Ruffalo Talks About Hulk in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' Says He's the 'Loose Cannon' in the Group
Ever since Joss Whedon took the Incredible Hulk character into his "Avengers" franchise, Bruce Banner's insanely strong and nearly invulnerable alter ego has become one of the many favorites in the Marvel superhero lineup.
Speaking with Empire Online, Hulk's latest actor, Mark Ruffalo teased that his character could even become more interesting in the upcoming "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
"Hulk is the kind of wild card. He's the loose cannon of the group. He's more like an atom bomb. You could guess where he's going to go but he could go either way," the 47-year-old actor said.

And the Earth's mightiest superheroes better be ready when things get out of hand, more than the usual.
"I think that there is, obviously, the day when everyone expects it to go wrong and that day comes. And they're ready," he said. "And Bruce designed the contingency plan."
The Hulkbuster, which was featured in the recently released trailer, could be one of those "contingency plans" the actor is talking about.
Given the enormity in terms of strength and invulnerability of the character, the anti-Hulk armor should better serve the purpose when Bruce completely losses to "the guy inside."
"There's a battle going on between these two opposing egos that live inside him. He's definitely worried that the day is going to come when the Hulk gets the best of him, and maybe won't release him, maybe won't give him back," Ruffalo explained. "The Hulk knows this too. There's a moment in here where he, begrudgingly, decides to go back to Banner."
Fans can see more of that action-packed scene between the Hulk and the Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) when "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" hits the theaters on May 1, 2015.
