Hulk & Rocket Raccoon will be bosom buddies in Avengers: Infinity War

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

In THE AVENGERS no two superheroes seemed to have it out for each other quite like Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). But what started with sucker punches blossoms into a beautiful friendship in THOR: RAGNAROK, as the two become hilarious companions fit for their own buddy cop comedy. Hulk is not a one-friend kind of monster, though, and his funniest friendship has yet to come in INFINITY WAR when the green rage monster pals-up with the most foul-mouthed trash panda around – Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper).

During a USA Today piece Ruffalo opened up about how the duo will have a hilarious, unlikely comradery in the superhero epic, and that just seeing their difference in size in the same frame is hysterical all on its own:

It’s a very funny relationship that the two of them have: First of all, it’s the biggest superhero and the smallest. Just keeping them in a frame together is a feat and hilarious in itself.

RAGNAROK will have more Hulk than ever before, as Ruffalo confirms the monster and Bruce Banner are continuing to fight each other for control and dominance. This means we will probably get a fair share of Hulk in INFINITY WAR too, and I can imagine Rocket will like him more than puny Banner.

There will be too many characters to count in the upcoming INFINITY WAR, so finding unique ways to pair them all up will be a fascinating part of the flick. Rocket and Hulk seem like an inspired pairing, as Rocket seems to have an affinity for giant green creatures (Groot, and now Hulk). Who knows, maybe this will cause a jealousy fight between Hulk and Teen Groot.

THOR: RAGNAROK hits theaters Friday and INFINITY WAR arrives May 4, 2018.
