We’ve already been given alternate Thor: Ragnarok looks for Thor, Loki and Hela – so why wouldn’t The Incredible Hulk have a different look as well? Though it’s not as different as the other three mentioned, it’s significant in that his hair is not the same at all. The concept art comes courtesy of Ryan Meinerding:

Ragnarok was said to be the beginning of a three-part arc for Hulk, as said by Mark Ruffalo:
“Kevin [Feige] pulled me aside before this, and said, ‘If you were gonna do a… if we were going to do a standalone Hulk movie, what would it be?’ And I said, ‘I think it should be this, this, this, and this and this, and ends up like this.’ And he’s like, ‘I love that. Why don’t we do that in the next three movies, starting with Thor 3 and then we go into Avengers 3 and 4.’ And I was like, ‘That sounds great!’ And so we are at the beginning of this arc.”
As far as us ever getting a solo movie for the character, Kevin Feige said:
“I think that back and forth continues, and I don’t know if it will ever happen. But I will tell you, it makes me very, very happy going from a world, ten years ago, when people were questioning the viability of Hulk in a standalone film, to getting asked every other interview, ‘When will there be another standalone Hulk?’”
For now, we will see Hulk next in Avengers: Infinity War, the synopsis of which is:
An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.
Infinity War hits theaters on May 4th.
