Ruffalo is circling an appearance in the upcoming fourth “Spider-Man” film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, but it’s unclear if a deal has closed for him to reprise his role as Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Incredible Hulk.

Destin Daniel Cretton ( Shang-Chi) is directing the film, which just started filming this week and is aimed at a July 31, 2026, release date. That’s a tight turnaround for a movie of this size, but it’s similar to what Marvel Studios did with Fantastic Four last year.

Michael Mando (Nacho from ‘Better Call Saul’) will be reprising his role as Scorpion. We first saw Mando's villainous character Mac Gargan in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and there was a Sinister Six tease when he met Michael Keaton's Vulture in prison. However, nothing materialized till now.
