    Interesting. I have seen a couple comments in various places saying that, but the trailer leads me to believe that he is playing the part of Hulk and coming back from the cosmos (and potentially multiverse) to warn about Doom and trying to bring all the factions to put aside their battles from incursions to work together. Maybe that means he will become leader though?

      Well, even if he is leader, that’s likely to only last until Steve shows up. Until then, though, he does basically have seniority. Steve retired, Tony’s dead, Nat’s dead, Clint retired… it’s really just him and Bruce from the original squad, and is Bruce even in this one? Or is he retired now too? Ruffalo’s getting pretty old-looking at this point, and is nearly 60. I’d have to go back and check the cast list, but if he’s not in it, then it’s only natural that the rest of the Avengers would, to some degree, look to the only founder member left for leadership.

        I agree and think that he will yield to Steve. We will know more of Banner’s fate in Spider-Man because I’m also curious. We know that he’s involved somehow with a faction because of appearing with Captain Marvel in the Shang Chi end credits scene.

        I’m wondering if there’s basically a West Coast and East Coast Avengers. Then there’s the New Avengers (Thunderbolts). So many factions. I don’t think Thor is on any team and if Sam and Banner are split then I bet Thor would side with Banner.
