Hulk

To everybody’s surprise, Hulk is in Thor: Ragnarok. At the end of Age of Ultron, his whereabouts were unknown, despite Fury’s comment about Fiji. So how does he end up in Thor: Ragnarok?

Well, I can only assume that Loki will kidnap him and transport him to other realms. And I can assume that there is a reason for this: the imminent approach of Thanos. If Loki does intend to trick everybody yet again, he might transport Hulk into a different realm. In this way, he will trick Thanos into believing that one of the Avengers’ heavy hitters is gone. But, at the same time, he will also make sure that Thor stands a chance against Hela and her armies.

Hulk is also the reason why Thor: Ragnarok is described as a road trip movie. Whether Mark Ruffalo becomes Bruce Banner again is irrelevant – the chemistry between him and Chris Hemsworth is real.
