Contrary to recent rumors stating otherwise, now Mark Ruffalo confirms the Hulk for Captain America: Brave New World.
While appearing at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Ruffalo was asked about the Hulk, a standalone Hulk movie, and Captain America: Brave New World.
Hulk vs Red Hulk?
Ruffalo was asked if he had any inputs into the scripts and explained that he told Kevin Feige he wanted to take the Hulk from a “raging maniac” to an “integrated character.” So Feige told him they can do that throughout the course of four movies.
Regarding a Hulk solo movie, Ruffalo again said it’s not happening and that he was told not to talk about it.
For Captain America: Brave New World, it was remarked to Ruffalo that he has that next which he confirmed.
“Yeah,” said Ruffalo.
When asked if he was allowed to talk about that, he replied to laughter, “Yeah, it’s going to be great… They literally have a drone that follows me around. My phone right now is recording all of this.”

Update: Oddly enough, Variety is stating Ruffalo is wrong:
Alas, according to multiple sources, Ruffalo is not actually going to be in “Brave New World.” Instead, he misspoke, thinking he was agreeing that “Brave New World” is one of Marvel’s next films, not that he was going to be in it.
Mark Ruffalo misspoke, say sources, when he seemed to confirm that he will return as the Hulk in Marvel's "Captain America: Brave New World."https://t.co/fKjeHzrkjK

Captain America: Brave New World now has a February 14, 2025 release date directed by Julius Onah starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson and Harrison Ford as Thaddeus Ross. Ford is expected to be also be playing the Red Hulk so maybe similar to the comics, the Red Hulk will take on the Hulk in the flick.
Rumors have also offered the Savage Hulk is returning to the MCU.
