First Look at Hulk, Fixed Infinity Gauntlet in Avengers: Endgame
Two new magazine covers give us our first look at Hulk and a fixed Infinity Gauntlet in Avengers: Endgame.
The two covers are a part of Empire Magazine’s latest Endgame special issue. The first shows off the entire original Avengers, but notably showcases Hulk. The second cover features Thanos in full armor and, apparently, a fixed Infinity Gauntlet. Both Empire covers can be seen below.

Seeing a fully hulked-out Hulk is notable, considering we’ve only seen the human Bruce Banner state since Hulk’s defeat by Thanos at the beginning of Infinity War. This is the first time we’ve gotten a look at the green guy since then, suggesting he will return in Endgame instead of leaving Banner to fend for himself in the Hulkbuster armor. In the recently released poster for Endgame, we saw the human version of Banner.
At the end of Infinity War, after snapping his fingers and eliminating half of all life in the universe, the Infinity Gauntlet became charred and melted, though all six infinity stones remained intact. Even in its damaged state, the Infinity Gauntlet still appears to work in some capacity, as Thanos used the Space Stone to escape after making his snap. If a repaired Infinity Gauntlet is in Endgame, it could be a new one forged with the help of the Dwarf Eitri, as we’ve seen the mold in his workshop.

However, it’s important to note that these are promotional images, and it’s entirely possible Hulk won’t show up and the Infinity Gauntlet won’t be repaired or recreated in the actual film. The issue also comes with a bonus magazine called Empire Presents: Avengers – The End Of An Era, which salutes the six main Avengers. A recent interview with Empire revealed the writers nearly put Thanos’ snap in Endgame instead of Infinity War.
For more on these aspects of Endgame, read about what happened to the Infinity Gauntlet at the end of Infinity War and how one of the film’s directors explained the issues between Banner and Hulk.
