During the Twitter event, Inverse‘s senior entertainment editor Jake Kleinman asked about Hulk’s Infinity-Stones-induced vision, pointing out that both of the other “snappers” had one — one that made it to screen and one that was filmed but seen only as a deleted scene on the home release of the movie. Thanos’ infamous snap at the end of Avengers: Infinity War had a side effect: he had a vision about his adopted daughter, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), as a child. Considering that the villain had sacrificed Gamora in his quest to obtain the Soul Stone during Infinity War, this was a pretty bittersweet thing. The same goes for the vision Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) experienced in a deleted Endgame scene that saw him meet his daughter, Morgan, all grown up.
According to Markus, he and his Endgame co-writer Stephen McFeely indeed had an Infinity Stone vision in store for Hulk as well, but it was ultimately never filmed. Markus revealed that the scene, should it have actually gone to production, would have been yet another meeting between the wielder of the Gauntlet and someone very close to him. However, this one had a twist only Hulk could deliver: The vision would have involved a conversation with Bruce Banner and his green alter ego — Hulk and Banner would have spoken to one another.
Markus jokingly added as a reason why the scene didn’t get shot, “Ruffalo showed up but Hulk wouldn’t come out of his trailer.”
It would certainly have been interesting to see the two halves of the Smart Hulk coin get a chance to discuss their situation face to face, but hey, even a movie as gigantic as Avengers: Endgame can’t deliver everything.
