While Marvel fans wait to see what the final Avengers film has in store for its beloved characters, it seems theorists are united in one prediction: it'll mark a big moment for Mark Ruffalo's Hulk.

Weeks after reports stared the studio is reportedly considering adding an interval to Endgame, it's now been suggested that the Russo brothers will introduce World Breaker Hulk in the final chapter.

If this is the case, Hulk will be the one to save Earth from Thanos's hunger for destruction considering the World Break version of the character is pretty much the most unbeatable force in the entire galaxy.

The Reddit theory, posted by meme_abstinent, reads: So, the Avengers will have to do something about the stones. Stealing them are probably out of the equation considering Thanos is omnipotent with them and the gauntlet appears to be burned onto his hand in trailers and after the snap... maybe Bruce Banner surrenders control of his body, activating a world breaker hulk, a moment fans have been WAITING for."

It continues: "I really think Bruce might surrender control. It fits his arc perfectly."

The introduction of World Breaker Hulk would go against an official image that was released as part of a promotion by Orville Redenbacher popcorn in February, teasing new looks for the film’s major players. Fans were quick to point out that Hulk's appearance hinted at the arrival of Professor Hulk – the perfect balance with his human form, Bruce Banner.

It's worth pointing out, though, that the Russos recently urged fans to overlook promotional materials, including information revealed as part of newly released merchandise, when hunting for spoilers. Also, should Banner find Professor Hulk, it would make his surrender to World Breaker Hulk that bit more devastating, as it essentially spells the end for Banner's human form.
