Movies that feel likeThe Incredible Hulk (2008)

Scientist Bruce Banner scours the planet for an antidote to the unbridled force of rage within him: the Hulk. But when the military masterminds who dream of exploiting his powers force him back to civilization, he finds himself coming face to face with a new, deadly foe.

If you loved The Incredible Hulk, the closest films we have are Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), Superman Returns (2006) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). All three share The Incredible Hulk's cerebral and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Thunderbolts* (2025).
