Mark Ruffalo says a Hulk standalone movie is "not looking promising"

If you're one of many Marvel fans hoping for a standalone Hulk movie, you might want to temper your expectations. Although he's repeatedly stated that he'd love to do it, Mark Ruffalo - who has played the jade giant and his alter-ego Bruce Banner in Avengers Assemble and Avengers: Age of Ultron - has always said that it's unlikely, and that stance hasn't changed in his latest update.

Speaking with Yahoo Movies, Ruffalo explained that "Marvel and Universal famously don’t get along very well, and so that’s working against us, definitely. But I know for a fact that everyone is holding out hope that one day we can do it. But the nature of the relationship right now, it’s a little prohibitive. And I hope that changes; that changes with regimes, it changes over the course of time. But right now, it doesn’t look particularly promising".
