Did hulk break Captain America's Ice

People are saying that there was a deleted scene where The Hulk goes on a rampage when Banner tried to commit suicide. Is this true? And if so, is it cannon?

That ice Captain America was frozen in seems awfully shallow and obvious and SHIELD could've easily dug it out without the hulk breaking the ice, so is this scene cannon?

Uh, no.

He was saying that he shot himself in the mouth and the Hulk (the other guy) spit it out.

Why would Bruce talk about Captain America in reference to spitting out a bullet he shot into his own mouth?

Edit: Ah, I see what they were saying now. The scenes still not canon though. cap was frozen in the plane. not in an chunk of ice.

Aarxnw2025-12-26 18:03

I was super confused too

NOLAComicsFan2025-12-26 18:06

In the deleted scene, Bruce attempts suicide by shooting himself in the mouth, but hulks out at the last second. Hulk cracks the ice in his rage and that's when you see the Captain America Easter egg. I think the guy you're trying to is saying that this was all part of the same deleted scene

Character-Owl94082025-12-26 18:07

I think he’s saying Captain America spit out the you know what

Steel_Serpent_Davos2025-12-26 19:05

Are you afraid to say bullet?

Character-Owl94082025-12-26 21:15

No I was afraid to say cum

Character-Owl94082025-12-27 22:11

The fact that people didn’t get my joke is heart breaking 😭😭

Inevitable-Opening162025-12-26 18:07

Because in this scene he shoots himself in the head

Clamsadness2025-12-26 18:07

He’s not talking about Captain America, but that deleted scene is the one where Bruce tries to kill himself and the Hulk spits the bullet out.

0x424d422025-12-26 18:12

Of course he’s not talking about Cap.

The cut scene is an attempted suicide by Banner and Hulk stops it. The line in the Avengers is an attempted suicide by Banner and Hulk stops it.

It was written to be a post-credit scene for IH to introduce the upcoming Cap movie, but it was switched to the RDJ cameo to make a definitive link back to IM. But it was never intended that either Hulk or Banner would even see or know about the shield or Cap at all.

WREPGB2025-12-26 18:12

The deleted scene shows Banner pull out and cock the gun, then the Hulk takes over to prevent a[nother] suicide attempt, crush it, then smash the ice.

The commenter above you is trying to say the scene in The Avengers soft-canonizes this scene by saying saying it alludes to this deleted scene, and alluding to multiple suicide attempts, the gun crushing attempt being the last one.

everybody_is_awful2025-12-26 18:28

That was probably a reference to the TIH tie-in game. In it, there was a cutscene in which Banner shot himself and then turned into the Hulk, who yelled "Banner!" after he spit it out.

Level-Ladder-43462025-12-27 03:40

Normally I would agree, but it being referenced in The Avengers suggests that at least some version of this scene canonically happened.

blondemf2025-12-26 18:13

Maybe it’s not technically canon since it was in a deleted scene, but it’s one of those things that doesn’t retcon or mess up anything else by being canon, it only adds to the story. Might as well make it head-canon if it’s something you find cool. Makes enjoying these huge stories way more fun when you stop listening to wiki or reddit threads about what is/isn’t canon, and just accept the stuff you like.

tyrwlive2025-12-26 18:21

Haha yeah I do the same. Unrelated but my head canon for different actors playing the same role (ie. Banner, Rhodey, Ross, etc.) is that it’s just another nearly identical universe that only had that one difference, but events plays out exactly the same as the sacred timeline

marioxb2025-12-26 20:00

Mine is Rhodey was in a car crash and needed facial reconstruction. And all of the Hulks (normal, red, Blonsky) changed appearance due to Mr. Blue's tinkering.

tyrwlive2025-12-26 20:56

Lol nice.. but how do you explain Banner looking different (Norton/Ruffalo), from a head canon perspective?

wakeup372025-12-26 22:49

Had his appearance surgically altered in an attempt to avoid being recaptured by the military

marioxb2025-12-27 01:13

No, just Mr Blue tampering with the blood. For Abomination, it just changed his monster version. For Banner and Ross, it changed them from Ed Norton/ William Hurt to Mark Ruffalo/ Harrison Ford, as well as (green) Hulk. There's even a line Sterns said that sort of supports this. I made an SD edit a long time ago using scenes from Hulk (Bana), American History X, and Just Like Heaven. Basically, we see Edward Norton showering, using edited footage from American History X. He gets out, starts shaving, using scenes from Bana's Hulk where the mirror is blurry. Then it switches to Ruffalo in the mirror from Just Like Heaven footage. He sort of looks confused and there's a voice over from Samuel Sterns talking about how things might change, or similar. And some audio from Quantum Leap ("Facing mirror images that were not his own").

Now that we have Harrison Ford, this can be further explained that his human form changed, but much slower, since his experiments were later, and not as involved as Banner's.

Doright362025-12-27 08:32

Abomination changing could just be some kind of mutation that gradually occurred as his body continued to adapt to what turned him into that in the first place.

NahdiraZidea2025-12-26 20:26

Thats my canon for the difference in aesthetics for the harry potter movies. The first few all feel different than the last 4 that they feel like simular but not the same universes.

saltexas182025-12-26 21:12

Maybe in another movie (doomsday maybe) they’ll show something else that makes this clip theory not cannon

ao01_design2025-12-26 21:47

Coulson's team is 100% part of the MCU in my head!

IamJohnnyHotPants2025-12-27 07:25

Since he didn’t put the gun in his mouth and spit out the bullet, would that be true? Or could the bullet spitting be a separate attempt?

Seekasak2025-12-28 14:38

It would mess up canon, as Cap was found inside the plane still

afunkymjolnir2025-12-26 18:14

I never knew this about the MCU. I just restarted Avengers EMH and the same plot is used to introduce Cap

Shadow555122025-12-26 18:14

FX1142025-12-26 18:36

The Hulk isn't the cause of him being found in the comics.

afunkymjolnir2025-12-26 19:10

Yeah I didn’t think so^

Marc_Quill2025-12-26 19:34

in the comics, I believe it was Namor played a role in Cap's icy return.

CriticalLoreDrop2025-12-26 18:17

The scene in question.

of-the-ash2025-12-26 18:36

Wow, never saw this scene before!

stayfresh4202025-12-26 20:42

That was awesome, i never seen it before! I am going to believe in this theory! True or not

PikaPulpy2025-12-27 11:09

If i remember correctly, this scene was in the game, but he really shot and spit the bullet.

thrwawryry3242342025-12-27 14:10

I believe you. The line in the movie is something about “I tried that. The other guy spit the bullet back out”

TrickshotzReddit2025-12-27 23:04

“I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out.”

SP15702025-12-26 18:22

1st time I hear about this... but now it's in my canon

FictionFantom2025-12-26 18:29

There are a couple bits and pieces from what I suspect was a dropped arc to set up the Avengers. This one was cut, but there is still one hidden in the film.

When Hulk takes Betty into the woods and the storm angers him, he throws a rock into the sky. While the camera is panning across the woods to follow the rock, there is a blink-and-you-miss shot of *something* blue, white and red in the woods. You can even make out a circular red and white pattern. What the hell else would that be if not Captain America?

I think they were considering having Cap defrosted by the time the events of Hulk take place and then later reveal Fury had been recruiting Avengers the whole time.

It’s such a quick and faint thing they might’ve just forgotten to take it out.

DryReceptacle2025-12-26 18:55

lol

the-bladed-one2025-12-27 00:35

Hell I think they were teasing Namor and panther as far back as iron man 2.

blackbutterfree2025-12-26 18:39

The scene is canon, but Steve's cameo in it isn't.

The First Avenger establishes that Steve was found inside Red Skull's ship, which itself was inside ice. He wasn't just floating around like this scene suggests.

But we know the scene did happen because Bruce directly references it in The Avengers. "I put a bullet in my mouth and the Other Guy spit it out." (Or whatever the exact wording was.)

Pure_Gonzo2025-12-26 19:17

But it's not, because in this scene he doesn't even pull the trigger. So yes, the idea that he tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head is canon, but not this particular scene/version.

The5thhorsemen2025-12-26 19:42

where do we see Steve in this clip? I don't see it

xavier_grayson2025-12-26 19:59

You can roughly make out a shield if you look between the two small chunks of ice in the foreground.

blackbutterfree2025-12-26 20:12

At the bottom of the image, there's the silhouette of a man and you can make out the shield in his left hand.

fuzzyfoot882025-12-26 19:32

There are fan edits out there with this scene reinserted, but as it stands, it is currently not canon.

Robmed852025-12-26 19:41

No he didn't.

beanlikescoffee2025-12-26 20:00

This is by far the COOLEST Easter egg in the MCU and it was in a deleted scene.

_Levitated_Shield_2025-12-26 23:33

There was also the Wakanda easter egg in Iron Man 2.

bokmcdok2025-12-26 20:42

*Technically* this scene isnt canon, however in Avengers, Banner does talk about attempting to eat a bullet and the other guy spitting it out.

marciogonsil2025-12-26 21:32

It is an abandoned easter egg with Capaiin America. And let's remember that this movie is from 2008, while The First Avenger is from 2011.
And The Incrsible Hulk is an Universal distributed Movie. Maybe its scenes could not be used in other Marvel novies at the time (Paramount and later, Disney)?

ImHighandCaffinated2025-12-26 22:42

Just a fun Easter egg

Front-Advantage-70352025-12-26 23:11

Yes he did and yes it is canon because the only reason coulson’s team found the plane was BECAUSE of hulk cracking the ice.

If he hadn’t done that in suicide rage, the plane would’ve stayed buried in a. Shelf

Character-Pirate12972025-12-27 01:29

Now, imagine if the MCU already had a sure footing back then and they kept that as a regular ending, BUT with Cap’s shield covering up the whole screen before it goes black. 🤯

paulricard2025-12-27 03:55

Is that the scene Mark Ruffalo references in Avengers? Where he said he tried committing suicide but the “other guy” spit the bullet out?

KentuckyFriedEel2025-12-27 10:24

oh i remember back then when we wanted any tiny glimpse of any little sliver of anything to hint at the Avengers. Now, we just get credits scenes that we don't even care about. What a different time.

captainjake132025-12-27 20:31

When was this scene supposed to take place in the movie? The end?

Capital_Gate67182025-12-28 19:52

“I put a bullet in my mouth, and the Hulk spit it out”

It’s canon to me.

Player2LightWater2025-12-29 08:02

It's a non-canon Easter Egg. While Bruce Banner mentioned that he tried to commit suicide which is stopped by Hulk is still canon, the Captain America frozen in ice of this scene is non-canon because Captain America: The First Avenger shown that Captain America was frozen inside HYDRA's advance bomber plane the whole time.

lookmaiamonreddit2025-12-29 18:50

This scene SHOULD be made cannon.
