One of the most heartwarming romances in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe has been between the building-sized Hulk and human-sized asskicker Black Widow.

Sure, lots of fans are partial to The Vision/Scarlet Witch coupling or Steve Rogers’s timeless love affair with Peggy Carter, but we’re still faithfully shipping the Big Green Guy and the ex-SHIELD assassin.

Their love affair was interrupted following the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, when Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) was blasted into space so he could meet up with a certain Asgardian God of Thunder in Thor: Ragnarok.

This interplanetary separation comes to an end in Avengers: Infinity War when both Hulk and Black Widow are back on earth to fight against the invasion of Thanos. Will there be time for a few smooches?

“[Black Widow is] not a particularly sentimental person and I think she understands that it’s been a period of time,” Scarlett Johansson told Screenrant.

“They’ve both had their own experiences separate of one another, and will always have a shared experience with one another but again, a lot of time has passed.

“I think they both kind of needed to see this sort of heroic decision the last time they saw one another, that they were going to sacrifice their own personal desire for the greater good. And that’s happened and move on.”

Is that a diplomatic way of saying Black Widow’s just not that into Hulk anymore? Sadly for Bruce Banner, it seems like more than one of his relationships will be tested in Infinity War.

Mark Ruffalo recently teased that Bruce and his Science Bro Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) will not be “so in-sync as they were” either, following Bruce’s trip into space.
