Mark Ruffalo’s significant other in the MCU, The Hulk, did not appear for the rest of Avengers: Infinity War. Having some emotional problems with Bruce Banner. Hulk and Banner get into a fight right when Ruffalo’s character is in the Hulkbuster fighting the Children of Thanos.

Mark Ruffalo’s Deleted Scene Could Have Shown Smart Hulk
Throughout the majority of Avengers: Infinity War, we don’t see The Hulk fighting at all. Despite being one of the strongest Avengers, glimpses of the Hulk denying Bruce Banner to come out and fight are shown, and it was somewhat annoying till a certain point.
Well, to counter the Hulk problem, Mark Ruffalo (as Bruce Banner) commandeers the Hulkbuster and fights off Thanos’ army during the end of Infinity War. The Hulkbuster gets involved in a 1v1 with Cull Obsidian (the big bad dude in Thanos’ army), and yet, Hulk refuses to fight. In a deleted scene shared on X (formerly Twitter), a glimpse of Smart Hulk is shown, and he is… pretty smart!

Although the fight is almost the same as the on-screen fight shown in Avengers: Infinity War, the major difference is that in the movie, it was Hulkbuster who straps his boot to the leg of Cull Obsidian and in the deleted scene, it is Smart Hulk who does the feat. Not making a big difference to the movie, the people still wonder that it would have been good to show a glimpse of Smart Hulk in the film rather than close him away at all costs.
