While the idea of Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk squaring off against Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine sounds thrilling, the power gap might be a buzzkill. Edward Norton’s Hulk was a far cry from Ruffalo’s version of the character people have grown to love over the years in MCU.

Many fans think that if Ruffalo’s Hulk and Wolverine went head-to-head, the fight could end up being a bit one-sided. After all, can Wolverine’s fierce adamantium claws really make a dent on Hulk, who’s practically invincible?
Fans Believe Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk Would Totally Obliterate Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in a Fight!
Fifty years ago, Wolverine burst onto the scene in Incredible Hulk #181, taking on both the Hulk and the Wendigo in a legendary clash. This set off a fan frenzy for a Wolverine-Hulk showdown on the big screen. Deadpool & Wolverine, sort of, delivered a taste of that dream when Deadpool landed between a Wolverine itching to fight the Hulk, giving a nod to the iconic comic moment.
However, many fans think this battle might not play out as epic as hoped with Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk. According to a Redditor, Edward Norton’s Hulk was much weaker compared to Ruffalo’s version, who was powered up after his time on Sakaar and evolved into Smart Hulk.
With Wolverine now in the MCU, the long-awaited showdown between him and Hulk might finally hit the big screen. However, even with Wolverine’s numerous power-ups, he’d likely find himself outmatched against Ruffalo’s Hulk. Despite all the hype and anticipation, Hulk’s sheer might is expected to overshadow Wolverine’s strength. Plus Hulk really, really needs this win! So he will do anything to take it.

Here is what other fans have to say on the topic,
Despite the odds, excitement remains high as fans eagerly anticipate a potential clash between Wolverine and Hulk. The big question is how the MCU will bring this iconic moment to life, meeting the high expectations that have been building for decades. Only time will tell if this long-awaited showdown will live up to the hype and deliver the epic battle fans have been dreaming of.
Here is how the Hulk vs. Wolverine Fight Could Still Be Legendary!
This showdown truly holds the potential to be legendary. Despite fan skepticism about Wolverine’s chances, the 2009 animated film Hulk Vs. shows just how epic it could be. In that movie, Hulk and Wolverine go toe-to-toe in a thrilling, back-and-forth brawl that feels like it could go on forever. It’s a non-stop, adrenaline-pumping clash that fans have been craving for ages. IT WAS EVERYTHING!

Thus, the MCU still has a chance to make this fight an epic one despite the supposed power disparity. Hulk’s a pro at mixing it up with other heroes, and who could forget his smashing match with Iron Man in Avengers: Age of Ultron? That fight was pure cinematic gold, showcasing Hulk’s flair for epic battles.
Sure, it’s still up in the air how long Hugh Jackman will keep playing Wolverine, or if he’ll show up in Avengers: Secret Wars, but if he does, that movie could be the ultimate stage for a Hulk vs. Wolverine throwdown. Fans are getting ready because if done right, this could be one of the MCU’s most thrilling moments!
