Avengers: Endgame's new pic has fans calling out a possible Professor Hulk
Looks more like a green Mark Ruffalo than ever.
Hulk in Avengers: Endgame looks a bit more like Bruce Banner.
The purported Avengers: Endgame photo revealed Thursday has Marvel fans thinking that Professor Hulk might be making his debut in the film.
Several reactions to the photo on Thursday focus on how the Hulk appears to have a slightly different face than his appearance in Thor: Ragnarok, one that seems to resemble a green Bruce Banner.
Further emboldening this idea is the character of Professor Hulk, who is essentially a merged version of both Bruce Banner and his Hulk identity. Previously, Hulk and Banner didn't share the same consciousness, with Banner noting in previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films that he's not aware of what the Hulk does when the big green guy takes over.
ComicBook.com's Chris Killian highlights this in a speculation video the website posted on Friday.

So ... I’m not imagining this right? The Hulk looks drastically different between Ragnarok and End Game. Is this what happens when Bruce and the Hulk find “peace” with eachother?? #Avengers #AvengersEndgame pic.twitter.com/0P9VdBGw2r

And another fan declares that it very well could be poetic for Hulk and Banner to find a compromise, especially since Avengers: infinity War spent a lot of time focusing in on Banner's inability to swap to the Hulk during battles.
Calling it: Bruce Banner and Hulk are finally going to merge into one, becoming Professor Hulk in #AvengersEndgame... It would be a cool way of concluding Banner's arc in the MCU
