Mark says, “Not that I know of. People keep going like, ‘Did you get fired?’ Not that I know of!” 

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has executed wonderful, universe-shattering cosmic-level stories with 36 flicks and 18 (22) series, and the 6^th phase is running. MCU has replaced a few actors due to creative differences, contract/pay disputes, scheduling conflicts, deaths, or storyline needs. But the original Avengers’ were untouched after a creative difference at the start with Edward Norton, who played Bruce Banner/Hulk in The Incredible Hulk, until now!

Yeah, rumors surfaced that Mark Ruffalo, who plays Bruce Banner/Hulk, was fired by Disney following his comments against President Donald Trump.

On Jan 11, 2026, during the 83^rd Golden Globes, Mark called Donald, “He’s the worst human being. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we’re all in a lot of trouble.”

And later, in an interview with The News Movement, when asked about the backlash rumor that started after his comment, Mark stated, “Not that I know of. People keep going like, ‘Did you get fired?’ Not that I know of!” The MCU star also said, “I’ll be there as long as they’ll have me, but I have a good relationship with them. Who knows, there might be things I’m already doing that [Laughs] I’m around, let me just say that.”

Mark will reprise the role of the green goliath in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, alongside Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle/the Punisher. Mark reprised the role of Smart Hulk in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

Currently, Avengers: Doomsday cast has finished principal photography in 2025, and a lot of details about Avengers: Secret Wars are still under wraps.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day releases on July 31, 2026.
