Mark Ruffalo's Hulk to embark on a new journey in 'Thor: Ragnarok'

Actor Mark Ruffalo has teased his fans about the relationship his Hulk and Bruce Banner will share in the upcoming film Thor: Ragnarok.

The 48-year-old said the team behind the film is "moving away from the traditional Hulk/Banner relationship" and "starting to mess with it a little bit," reported Aceshowbiz.

"It's very subtle, but the Banner/Hulk consciousness is beginning to meld a little bit. Who decided to leave? Was it Banner or Hulk? It's not really in the (cinematic) mythology of Hulk up until that moment to be that conscious and pro-active. It's interesting, right?" Ruffalo said The actor also gave some information about the character's current state.

"He's on the run. I think that we carry that through. It's not just a matter of taking himself to some remote place and hiding. Now he's removing himself from humanity altogether. I'm not sure where we're going to head with that, but I'm sure that's probably still very much alive within him."

Chris Hemsworth will reprise his role as the God of the Norse, joined in the cast by the likes of Tom Hiddleston and Jaimie Alexander.

Directed by Taika Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok will hit theaters on November 3, 2017.
