Marvel has become synonymous with secrecy. Any leak from an MCU set could potentially ruin an enormous surprise for fans, so the studio has taken every possible measure to avoid that throughout its near-20-year history.

The following contains major story spoilers for Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Besides how many influences or loose adaptations may be connected between all comic book media, what one video game/movie/show/comic book does might not inspire something else to iterate on it.

Ruffalo has been part of the superhero franchise for 14 years, starring in all the Avengers movies and fan-favorite titles like Thor: Ragnarok. Last time we saw his Bruce Banner was in Disney Plus' TV series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which starred his cousin Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany).
