Last week, we reported that Hulk will be getting a new story arc that will begin in Thor: Ragnarok and end in Avengers: Infinity War - Part II. It seems that part of that narrative could involve the Hulk getting smarter and actually forming sentences. While at Sundance Film Festival, Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi spoke to HitFix about Marvel's plans for the jade giant.

"At the moment, there’s a big conversation that’s happening about how far to push that. Whether or not the Hulk should be [verbal/conscious]. So I think a lot of those decisions are larger group decisions, rather than anything to do with just me or the writer. They have a lot of stuff that they have to consider. But I do think that’s the best way to track it. I think we all want that. I think we all want to see that development and the evolution of that character. I also think you can do it in a fun way."

Directed by Taika Waititi and starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander and Mark Ruffalo, Thor: Ragnarok will be released in UK cinemas on October 27, 2017 before opening in US theatres on November 3, 2017.
