The Hulk is one of Marvel's most enduringly popular characters, so it's no surprise the company turned to the big green guy when it came time to try and start launching the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the early aughts.

Neither Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk nor Louis Leterrier's 2008 Incredible Hulk reboot performed to expectations, but the character remains on the MCU canvas, so why haven't we gotten a new Hulk movie—especially considering the character has easily proven to be one of the most popular members of Earth's Mightiest Heroes when it comes to team-up time in the Avengers films?

His movies were just okay, and they just weren't that profitable.

The character works better in ensemble pieces, where we can enjoy his character with the other characters.

And I personally like the Banner character (Ruffalo is amazing) more than the Hulk character.

As much as I love the marvel movies, I wouldn't want to watch a Hulk movie. He's just 'okay' to me, and I like most Marvel characters. But when he's placed with other characters, I enjoy him more. I think other people feel the same way, considering how he's been received.

Thats a good way of putting it. I think people who want a Hulk movie really just enjoy Ruffalo's performance as Banner. He works best when he can bounce off the other characters. I don't think a solo movie would do anything for us at this point.
