Some very bold rumors have recently been suggested regarding the Hulk's future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

His ending scene in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' left his role in the expansive franchise to much debate, however Ruffalo has gone on record claiming that this wouldn't be the end for the character and that the studio does have some big plans for him.

If there is any truth to the following rumors, then the studio does indeed have some big plans for the character.

According to MCU Exchange, a new Hulk will be appearing in the MCU soon, and it's believed to be the infamous red Hulk. While the specific movie is yet to be announced, it's speculated that it could be the upcoming 'Civil War' film.

"While 'soon' could mean any number of films, their unwillingness to mention which film coupled with WAW's recent behind the scenes access to Captain America: Civil War makes it pretty obvious they are talking about Civil War. With William Hurt's official re-entry into the MCU as General Thunderbolt Ross in Civil War and speculation of a Thunderbolts team on the horizon (Zemo, Osborn, Ross..come on), it makes even more sense that that we could be seeing the Red Hulk soon. Bruce Banner's Hulk is currently MIA by his own choosing after the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, introducing Red Hulk would be a sure fire way to give Bruce a reason to come out of hiding," writes MCU Exchange.

It sounds as if the introduction of the Red Hulk will be Bruce Banner's ticket back in with the Avengers, along with an epic fight between the two that is said to rival the Hulkbuster battle in 'Age of Ultron.'

Marvel has yet to confirm or deny these recent Hulk rumors.
