Television
1960s
The Hulk debuted in television in 1966 as part of The Marvel Super Heroes animated series. Produced by Grantray-Lawrence Animation, headed by Grant Simmons, Ray Patterson and Robert Lawrence, the series is in stop-motion comic book form, with radio personalities Max Ferguson voicing the Hulk and Paul Soles voicing Bruce Banner. The 39 seven-minute segment episodes were shown, along with those featuring Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and Sub-Mariner also from that series. They were all based on the early stories from The Incredible Hulk and Tales to Astonish comic book series from Marvel. The series shows Bruce Banner's origin of becoming the Hulk and struggling to keep his dual identity a secret from everyone, as well as trying to maintain his romance with Betty Ross, friendship with Rick Jones — the only one knowing that Banner and the Hulk are the same, and first battling super-villains such as the Leader.
1970s
The Hulk appeared in the 1978–82 live action television series, The Incredible Hulk, and its subsequent television films. Created by Universal Studios, it starred Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk.

The two-hour pilot movie, which established the Hulk's origins, aired on November 4, 1977. The series was originally broadcast by CBS from March 10, 1978 to June 2, 1982,[2] with eighty-two episodes in five seasons, and later followed by three television films.

Film
Live action
Hulk (2003)
- Hulk explores the origins of the Hulk, which is partially attributed to Banner's father's experiments on himself, and on his son. The film stars Eric Bana as Dr. Bruce Banner, as well as Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliott, Josh Lucas, and Nick Nolte with Ang Lee directing the film. The film is produced and distributed by Universal Pictures.
Marvel Cinematic Universe
- Edward Norton portrays Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk (2008),[12] with Lou Ferrigno providing the voice of the Hulk.[13]
- Norton did not return to the role in The Avengers (2012),[14] being replaced by Mark Ruffalo.[15] This time, the voice of the Hulk was a mix of Ruffalo, Ferrigno and few others,[16] though the Hulk's single line of dialog, "Puny god", was provided solely by Ruffalo.[17] Mike Seymour of FX Guide called Ruffalo's Hulk "the most successful Hulk" in comparison to "the less than fully successful earlier attempts at digital Hulks." Seymour explained, "Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk and Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk both failed in producing a Hulk that could walk the digital tightrope of impressive near undefeatable strength, huge body mass, fast agile movement, raw anger and likable performance." He stated that on contrary Ruffalo's Hulk had "both dynamic action sequences and crowd pleasing moments of humor and dialogue". In order to achieve this, Industrial Light & Magic created a new motion capture and facial animation system. Hulk's face was generated from a life cast / scan of Ruffalo's face, which was then manipulated in the program ZBrush to become the Hulk, while making sure to retain Ruffalo's essence.[18]
- Ruffalo reprises the role of Banner in a post-credits scene of Iron Man 3 (2013)[19] and again in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).[20]
- Ruffalo will reprise the role in Thor: Ragnarok,[21] and Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and the untitled Avengers sequel (2019).[22]
Future
A sequel to 2008's The Incredible Hulk has been discussed, with Marvel Studios having suggested a possible release after 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron due to the positive audience reception towards Ruffalo's portrayal of Bruce Banner in The Avengers.[23] Ruffalo is set to reprise his role in any future adaptation of the character.[15] In June 2014, Ruffalo said he believed the studio might be considering doing a new standalone Hulk film, saying, "I think they are, for the first time, entertaining the idea of it. When we did The Avengers it was basically 'No!', and now there is some consideration for it. But there's still nothing definitive, not even a skeletal version of what it would be."[24] In December 2014, Joss Whedon stated that, for the time being, a new solo Hulk film has not been announced or confirmed, due to Marvel wishing to have a character that only appears in Avengers films, despite the positive reception to Ruffalo.[25] In April 2015, Ruffalo told Collider.com that Universal holding the distribution rights to Hulk films may be an obstacle to releasing a future Hulk standalone film.[26]
Animation
- The Hulk has been featured in Ultimate Avengers, an animated direct-to-video adaptation of the Ultimates produced by Marvel Entertainment and Lions Gate Films, voiced by Fred Tatasciore. Based on the Ultimate Hulk, Bruce Banner, voiced by Michael Massee, is working on recreating the super soldier serum. Banner thinking that the serum could help him control the Hulk, and creates a cure with his own blood. After the fight with the Chitauri, the Hulk becomes out of control and is taken down by the Avengers. In the sequel, Ultimate Avengers 2, Banner is voiced again by Massee and is in a prison cell due to what occurred in the first film. At the end the Hulk voiced again by Tatasciore breaks out of the cell and escapes.
- An elderly Hulk appears in the alternate universe Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow voiced by again by Tatasciore. He has decided to hide and keep away from other people for their own safety. The Next Avengers come up a plan to lure Ultron there so he can cause the Hulk to appear, destroying the robot.

The synposis for the film is as followed: "Hulk, Doctor Strange and the Howling Commandos on a mission to stop Nightmare from conquering the world."[31]
Syndicated comic strip
The Hulk appeared in his own syndicated newspaper strip, which debuted on October 30, 1978 and ran until September 5, 1982 by King Features Syndicate. Initially written by Stan Lee and drawn by Larry Lieber,[32][33] this strip modeled its version of the character after the television series airing at the time, with Banner's first name being given as "David", the McGee character, and a "wandering man" format. Although the depiction of the Hulk matched the comic books in terms of visual design, he did not speak dialog which is akin to the television version of the character.[34] Lieber took over both writing and artwork soon after the strip launched. He later turned over art chores to first Rich Buckler (starting in Spring 1979) and then Alan Kupperberg (starting in November 1979), who also wrote the strip in its final months. The newspaper credits were slow to reflect changes in the creative team; Stan Lee, for instance, continued to appear in the byline for months after he gave up working on the strip.[34]
