For those handful of readers who have not seen Avengers: Age of Ultron yet, do not continue to read this article. If you do, you will be spoiled. You were warned.

At the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Hulk threw Ultron out of the Quinjet and decided to stay on it so he wouldn't cause any more harm to people. After he shockingly shut down Black Widow's transmission, we all saw that the Hulk's fate was left up in the air (No pun intended, I think). We originally thought that the Hulk was going to get shot into space, but this was not the case. In a new podcast interview, Joss Whedon revealed that it was never intended for the Hulk to go out into space, and what he originally had planned for the character. "You know, I never intended to shoot him into space. What I wanted to do was indicate that he might. I wanted the sky above him to be slightly thinner. A few stars. Because, you know, I put in, very specifically, the line, ‘Where in the world am I not a threat?’" He then continued, "I wanted to leave people with the idea that, if this is the last movie, that he may have left the world behind, because I think there is something enormously poetic about that. There is also something enormously misleading about that, because they don’t plan to make Planet Hulk, as far as I know, so they were like, ‘No, just sky, no stars,’ which was less poetic, but still very beautiful.”

After seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron, we all ask ourselves this question: What's next for the Hulk? Some say that there should be a Planet Hulk film, while others might not agree. Will Hulk show up in Thor: Ragnarok? How about Guardians of the Galaxy 2? At this point, anything could happen. What do you think? In the comment section below, share your opinion and tell what you think is next for The Hulk. Sound off below!

This could've been very visually stunning instead of the bottom of the ocean. Haven't we already been through enough bottom of the ocean scenarios already

Surely if the Hulk has the intelligence to stay on the jet he would have kept Ultron in with him and took Ultron's stronger form away from Earth.

Im for a Planet Hulk Movie..

Ruffalo is good in that role.

He deserves a crack at a solo outing.

Planet Hulk was great. But it does not fit in the MCU. Do people forget about TIH? The whole movie is about controlling your inner-self. And at the very end, they tease that he is now in control. Then in Avengers, he's just a big, dumb brute again. It's like Jeph Loeb is writing Hulk's character, HAHA. For once, I'd like some follow-up continuity on that plot line. I wanna see Hulk and Banner as one, like he was in Secret Wars.

This is a stretch, but what if they DO do a Planet Hulk style movie, but set underwater to introduce Namor. Technically it could still be called Planet Hulk.

I always liked the dynamic in the comics between spidey and the hulk....

I wouldn't mind a team up movie...

@AlexanderLykins The only way I could see Planet Hulk work is if they had Hulk fly into space via quinjet. Planet Hulk, he was shot into space cause he was a menace to society. They felt they had no choice. But if they went with this original plan of him auto-piloting into space, that could work instead. I wanna see the Leader, man.

Quinjets are not space vessels. And even if they could fly in space, they can't travel fast enough to get anywhere interesting.

Planet Hulk worked because he fell into a worm hole, which on top of already flying into space in the MCU would add an additional level of WTF?

Marvel just needed a way to get rid of the Hulk until the next Avengers movie.

AOU was an end of an ERA until Infinity war when the band is back together. New characters now, plus Spider-man. The growth of Marvel starts NOW

So Whedon says he never wanted to send him to space and some of you some how think he said he wanted to send him to space?
