🌍💥 WORLD WAR HULK (2026) — The Rage of a World Betrayed
Marvel Studios dives into darker territory with World War Hulk (2026) — a searing, emotional, and action-packed chapter that explores betrayal, revenge, and the raw fury of one of its most powerful heroes. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and co-written by Ryan Coogler, the film is a spiritual sequel to She-Hulk, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Secret Wars, while adapting key arcs from the iconic comic storyline.
Story Overview
After years of being manipulated, exiled, and sidelined, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) finally finds peace and purpose on the alien planet Sakaar, raising a son — Skaar — and trying to leave his violent past behind. But when a mysterious explosion destroys his newfound home and kills thousands — including people he loved — Hulk uncovers a devastating truth: the blast was no accident. It was orchestrated by a secret council on Earth who feared his power.
Furious, grieving, and consumed by vengeance, Hulk returns to Earth not as a hero, but as a conqueror. He brings with him an army of Sakaaran warriors, gladiators, and super-beasts, declaring war on the planet that betrayed him.
Cast & Characters
Mark Ruffalo gives his most intense performance as a Hulk who is no longer the restrained scientist but a warlord torn between grief and justice. Tatiana Maslany returns as She-Hulk, caught in the moral crossfire. Mahershala Ali (Blade), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), and Benedict Wong (Wong) form a resistance trying to reason with Bruce before the world is lost to his wrath.
Skaar (played by Lewis Tan) becomes a tragic figure — a son caught between his father’s rage and the hope for redemption.
Action & Themes
World War Hulk delivers the most destructive battles in the MCU to date — from city-shattering combat to interdimensional showdowns. But beneath the chaos lies a deeply human story about identity, forgiveness, and the fear of power misunderstood.
Gone is the goofy “Smart Hulk.” What remains is the monster — intelligent, tactical, and fueled by righteous fury.
Final Verdict
World War Hulk isn’t just a superhero movie. It’s a war epic — visceral, heartbreaking, and unrelenting. It asks a powerful question: What happens when the strongest one there is... stops holding back?
