The much-anticipated Disney+ series 'She-Hulk' might have just opened the gateway to an even more monumental storyline: World War Hulk. The head writer of She-Hulk, Jessica Gao, has been dropping intriguing hints, as reported by TVLine.
"Don't Expect Him to be in Every Episode": A Gateway to Hulk's Cosmic Journey
The curtain was raised on Bruce Banner's otherworldly expedition in Episode 2 of She-Hulk, as he bade farewell to his cousin Jen Walters. He began an intergalactic trip that might culminate in a live-action depiction of the World War Hulk comic arc. The plot thickened when Bruce, nestled in a Sakaaran Class-Eight courier craft, headed into the cosmos. "Yeahhhh, probably not for a minute. I’ve got some things I gotta take care of," was the cryptic reply Bruce gave when Jen inquired about his plans to return.

This cosmic journey might pave the way for the much-acclaimed World War Hulk storyline, first launched in 2007 by Greg Pak. This saga is an epic tale of a revenge-fuelled Hulk, seeking justice for his wife's death against the Illuminati, and converting Madison Square Garden into a gladiatorial arena for the Illuminati members to fight till death.
The She-Hulk series may just be setting the stage for such a dramatic chapter in the Hulk's life, "God knows what Hulk got up to in the years he was there, so he’s gotta go back and handle some off-world things that happened during that time," Gao revealed in an interview with The Direct.
When asked about the likelihood of a World War Hulk storyline, she remained elusive, yet hopeful, "I think it kind of opens up the possibility, if Marvel chooses to, to do something with that, to pick up that story. If they wanted."
If a 'World War Hulk' is destined for the big screen, Mark Ruffalo, the face of Hulk in MCU, seems ready for the challenge. “Any time they want to do it, I’m here,” he confidently declared.
Fans are on the edge of their seats, anticipating the momentous arrival of 'World War Hulk'. However, until any official confirmation is released, we remain suspended in the cosmos, just like our beloved green giant.
