Mark Ruffalo recently addressed his absence from the upcoming Marvel blockbuster 'Avengers: Doomsday,' hinting that the decision was made to prevent him from inadvertently spoiling the film's plot. The Oscar-nominated actor, known for his role as Bruce Banner and the Hulk, appeared on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' where the host teased him about not being included in the film's cast announcements.
Ruffalo confirmed that Marvel decided it was safer to exclude him from the project than risk him revealing key story details. This aligns with his reputation for accidentally spoiling major plot points in the past, both on live television and social media. Notably, he once live-streamed part of 'Thor: Ragnarok' on Instagram in 2017 and revealed major details about 'Avengers: Infinity War' months before its release.
