Marvel Stars Break Silence on Mark Ruffalo Firing Rumors
Mark Ruffalo and fellow Marvel actors address viral firing rumors while reports confirm the Hulk star remains with the studio.
A recent online rumor suggested that Marvel Studios and Disney had dismissed Mark Ruffalo from his role as Hulk. The claim quickly gained traction across social media, with some posts alleging the decision was linked to the actor’s political views.
Despite the noise, no major news outlets supported the story. Reports instead indicated that Ruffalo remains employed by the studio, contradicting the speculation that spread through headlines and fan discussions.
The rumor became so widespread that it eventually reached Ruffalo himself, along with fellow Marvel actors, prompting public reactions during a press interview.
While promoting the film Crime 101 with The News Movement, Ruffalo was asked directly about the alleged firing. Laughing off the question, he made it clear he had no knowledge of any such decision and emphasized his strong relationship with Marvel.
The actor hinted he may even be connected to future projects, adding that he plans to stay involved with the studio for as long as he is wanted.
Castmates Dismiss the Speculation
Chris Hemsworth, known for playing Thor, described the rumor as nonsense. His response reinforced the idea that the story lacked credibility within the Marvel community itself.
Halle Berry, famous for portraying Storm in the X-Men franchise, also weighed in. She joked that the cast would protest if Ruffalo were actually removed, signaling clear support for the longtime Hulk performer.
Although the firing rumor appears unfounded, industry observers have noted that Avengers: Secret Wars is expected to partially reboot the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Such a shift could eventually lead to major casting changes.
If Ruffalo were ever to step away, it would likely reflect the natural conclusion of his character’s journey rather than any political controversy.
For now, Ruffalo is still part of Marvel’s roster. He is set to reprise Hulk later this year in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, scheduled to hit theaters on July 30.
