Can't help but be sympathetic with the guy, if I had signed a 50 year long contract with Disney to exclusively play some green Mr Hyde ripoff character intended for kids, I'd be desperate to elevate this role, no matter how ludicrous it sounds
It's kinda of bummer that a lot of great Hulk runs are too complex for the rather overly-simplistic direction Disney has taken on the character. There a lot of great Hulk storylines through the eras and it's a bit of a bummer that they just want a big CGI monster that punches other CGI monsters, rather than any sort of characterization and narrative driven story that also happens to feature a giant green monster that punches things.
I'm not even talking "Darker and gritter reboot™", but things like "Planet Hulk" could be a great one-off sci-fi/fantasy film with both interesting character driven drama as well as giant CGI monsters that punch each other. We could see Hulk persona grow and change to the world as tries to protect his fellow gladiators and the world and defeat the Red King. You could also do HULK: Gray from the I think the early 2000's which was also more of a character driven narrative about Bruce's struggle keeping the giant gray monster from coming to life. it's grounded without being edgy. However because all of these things have to one giant product/"experience" or whatever nothing can even really remotely deviate from the MEGACORP's marketing plan.
These actors are grander versions of their themepark counterparts in that they will play the same character the same way in every performance until they no longer play the character. That rigdity must make acting un-fun after a year or so, I can't imagine it's fun unless you have some sort of input creatively.. Which really sucks when you think about it, unless you REALLY dig the role, I can't imagine wanting to do the same thing, the same way, everytime.
Shakespeare was right to not create a Shakespeare connected universe, good on ya bud.
Part of the problem is that they don't have the rights to make hulk movies, they can only use him as a character in other heroes movies. So there's not enough time to flesh out the character

Thor: Ragnarok had a kind of Planet Hulk vibe to it.

THE MOST. EFFICIENT. SYSTEM.
Objectively correct position. I want to see hulk suck and fuck
Hulk flops around his semi behemothily.
