With the leaked images from a few days ago, we were able to see the first scenes of Bruce Banner on set. Far from being seen as a villain being taken prisoner, he is seen quite injured and being taken to an ambulance, being protected by paramedics.

What could have happened here?

My theory is that we may not get as much of the Hulk as many would like to see. Perhaps in this scene, Bruce as Professor Hulk tried to stop the prison riot or some action by the film's enemies. However, he would be overpowered. How would he be defeated? Well, I see two scenarios.

1. Since the film is inspired by YFNSM, it's likely that Scorpion's suit runs on gamma energy, which could perhaps weaken Hulk if the technology begins to absorb his own energy.
2. Similar to Ghost in Thunderbolts\*, the enemies are already aware that Hulk is a danger to their plans, so they were already prepared with weapons to neutralize him, either with gamma energy or with sound. Let's also remember the rumors about Rhino, so it would also be possible that he could defeat Professor Hulk.

He ends up seriously injured and is taken to the hospital. This is how Bruce would be taken out of the film for a long time, reviving the original idea of ​​​​No Way Home where Strange would not be trapped in the mirror dimension but would be bedridden due to his adventure in the Multiverse of Madness (which originally took place before NWH). In the hospital, Bruce has an introspective conversation with Hulk regarding his current situation. Although Professor Hulk worked in Endgame, he is currently being overtaken because Bruce is a scientist, not a warrior, the warrior being Hulk. So they would make a new deal, so Bruce would recover and become a new Hulk where the green giant's personality predominates, but with Bruce Banner's intelligence, making him a Hulk similar to that of EMH or Ragnarok.

Going to the final battle to support Spider-Man, explaining why on the director of photography's Pinterest we had an image of Spider-Man and Hulk teaming up. It also explains why in the leaked Secret Wars concept art, Hulk is someone rational and capable of speaking calmly with Scar and She-Hulk.

I know many would expect to see a monstrous Hulk and for him to have a fight against Spider-Man on the level of the Hulkbuster fight in Age of Ultron, but with the information we have, this is highly unlikely, especially since Holland confirmed in an old interview that his version of the script was discarded for being too similar (if not a copy) to Captain America: Brave New World. This fits with the fact that when the rumor surfaced that "the film would be about Spidey and the Punisher teaming up to stop the Hulk," it was mentioned as a plot that had already been cut. We've already seen that it wasn't completely eliminated, but all key aspects of Brave New World were possibly removed, including the final enemy being a Hulk and being controlled by someone else.
