Spoiler Reveal via Hasbro Marvel Legends Figure
Hasbro’s Marvel Legends released a 6-inch Hulk figure for *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*. The packaging notes Spider-Man meets the Hulk after a long absence and is unsure if the Hulk remembers him, implying a confrontation. A web-effect accessory suggests a fight between the two, confirming the return of the classic green, uncontrolled “Savage Hulk” in the film.
Context: Hulk’s Evolution and Figure Details
Earlier MCU films showed Mark Ruffalo’s “Smart Hulk,” a controlled, intelligent version introduced in *Avengers: Endgame* and featured in *She-Hulk*. Rumors of a Grey Hulk or Maestro variant circulated, but the Hasbro figure displays the original green Savage Hulk, refuting those claims. The figure sells for $47, stands 6 inches tall, and includes five accessories: two alternate hands, two web-effect pieces, and an alternate head, with tattered brown pants and a shredded white lab coat matching trailer visuals.
Official Statements & Responses
Marvel Studios’ trailer shows Bruce Banner teaching at Empire State University, establishing his role before any transformation. Hasbro’s packaging description frames the Hulk-Spider-Man encounter as a plot element. The sources do not include an official Marvel Studios comment on the figure. Key participants are Marvel Studios, Hasbro, and actor Mark Ruffalo, who returns as Bruce Banner/Hulk.
Criticism & Opposition
A Forbes commentary notes Marvel’s likely displeasure, citing the studio’s habit of tightly guarding plot details.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Reports of a Grey Hulk or Maestro version contrast with the Hasbro figure’s green Savage Hulk, disproving those rumors. No source identifies what triggers the Savage transformation or which character—such as Tombstone or Scorpion—might cause it. The figure’s description also leaves unclear whether Hulk retains memory of Spider-Man after the reality-altering spell shown in *No Way Home*.
