Mark Ruffalo is widely known for his depiction of the Hulk in multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe films. However, following the release of Avengers: Endgame, Ruffalo has shifted his focus to doing more traditional acting roles.
Speaking of which, the veteran actor will feature in Emma Stone’s 2023 film, Poor Things. Despite landing the role fairly and squarely, a fear of replacement has been instilled in Ruffalo, thanks to a hilarious prank by none other than the great Willem Dafoe.
Willem Dafoe Jokingly Brought Oscar Isaac to the Set of Poor Things to Threaten Mark Ruffalo
Oscar Isaac is well-known in the world of acting for his incredible versatility as an actor. While he appeared in several great movies in the 2000s, Isaac’s popularity reached new heights after being in Marvel’s Moon Knight.

Mark Ruffalo is undoubtedly a talented actor, but when working with a legend like Willem Dafoe, even he couldn’t escape a slight bullying. As mentioned in the above-attached tweet, the crew of the 2023 film threatened Ruffalo to replace him with the Moon Knight star.
Dafoe took it one step further when he brought Isaac to the set one day. Now, that’s one way to mess up with someone’s head. Despite several warnings, Ruffalo eventually ended up staying in the movie.
He will play the role of Duncan Wedderburn in Emma Stone’s sci-fi romance movie. Looking at the trailer, Ruffalo has undoubtedly done an excellent job of portraying the character.
