I haven't read a lot of the comics for years, but, was the Gamma radiation accident that created the Hulk always connected to trying to recreate the Super Soldier serum that created Cap. I'm sure that's what they said here
That means Bruce was working with whoever was trying to recreate the serum (maybe Howard) so everything really is really connected. It would have been cool to see Ruffalo's Hulk in this storyline
I don't believe it was always the case. I'm pretty sure he was just experimenting with Gamma Radiation in the original story.
shareI understand it was always similar research, but never directly connected. I thought it was a nice touch when they did connect it here.

I hadn't heard it the first couple of times. I thought it was such a cool little connection between them all. Loved it. I almost wish we had seen Ruffalo do this storyline
shareI wonder the same. Sad that we don't have a true HULK origins movie that's based on this universe. The Edward Norton movies was the start of this Hulk and that movie was set up for as a sequel to whatever happened to cause Bruce to Hulk out.
sharewell here's the evidence where it is discussed during phase one
Thor the line that a scientist (banner) was working on a super soldier serum and "went missing"
The incredible hulk Tony Stark telling Ross "the super soldier serum was put on ice for a reason" this is obviously referencing cap
During the events of captain america pretty much anyone who was involved in the science between turning Rogers into captain america was killed off except Howard Stark. It's implied that Banner was attempting to replicate it for the army. That being said it's never implied Cap had any gamma radiation.
Just a correction on this:
Thor the line that a scientist (banner) was working on a super soldier serum and "went missing"
Erik Selvig: I knew this scientist, a pioneer in gamma radiation. SHIELD showed up, and that's the last I heard from him.
It's implied that Banner was attempting to replicate it for the army. That being said it's never implied Cap had any gamma radiation.
"We decided to dust it off, and give it another go, aiming to create the better soldier. Banner's work was very early-phase. It wasn't even weapons application, he thought he was working on radiation resistance. I would never have told him what it was really for, but he was so sure about what he was doing he tested it on himself. And something went very wrong... or it went very right."
If you mean in the comics, the answer is no. He was testing a gamma bomb, when he spotted a teenager on the field. His assistant was actually a communist spy who didn't stop the countdown. The first Hulk movie had nothing to do with either the comic book or the second Hulk origin.

In the MCU and widely in the comics these days, just about ever hero or villain is somehow related to trying to create weapons or super soldiers.
But no, the original Hulk origin was a more traditional accident. Along the lines of Flash getting hit by lightning, Spider-Man getting bit by a spider etc.
But yes, Nillindeiel's response is the complete answer for the MCU.
Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late)

It was a nice little touch to connect them in the MCU. Maybe abit too cute but still a nice little touch
