In the first phase of MCU, The Incredible Hulk starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and William Hurt as General Ross was released, which was supposed to introduce the Hulk. Since then, there has been no production with the character in focus, until She-Hulk: Attorney at Law this August.
Later on, Mark Ruffalo was cast to replace Edward Norton due to creative differences. Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk has been the only member of the Hulk family from the Marvel comics to feature in the MCU.

“While we were watching the trailer [at SDCC] because Kevin was standing next to me, we had spent weeks fighting about what should go in the trailer and what shouldn’t. And so, it was just the two of us sniping at each other over our respective positions and the pieces that were in the trailer.”
