World War Hulk (2025) is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with a production budget estimated at $350 million. This substantial budget is a reflection of the grand scale of the story, which will bring Hulk’s most intense battle to the screen. The film is expected to feature large-scale, visually stunning action sequences, including devastating battles, immense CGI elements, and a darker tone compared to previous Hulk films. This investment also ensures top-tier visual effects, a compelling narrative, and a talented ensemble cast. Compared to Avengers: Endgame (2019), which had a budget of approximately $356 million, World War Hulk aligns with the MCU’s strategy of creating massive, event-level blockbusters. The large budget will also cover extensive marketing efforts to promote the film globally, ensuring it captures the attention of Marvel fans around the world (source: Variety).
The official release date for World War Hulk is set for May 2, 2025, strategically timed for the summer blockbuster season. Marvel has historically found great success with early May releases, as it allows for maximum audience engagement and sets the tone for the summer. The release is expected to generate significant box-office revenue, not only in the U.S. but also internationally, where the MCU has a massive fan base (source: Deadline).
As for its success story, World War Hulk is poised to break box-office records. The success of recent MCU films, including Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame, which grossed over $2.8 billion worldwide, indicates that World War Hulk will likely surpass $1.5 billion globally. With its focus on Hulk’s rage-filled journey, the emotional depth of Mark Ruffalo’s portrayal, and the anticipation surrounding the film, it is expected to be one of the highest-grossing MCU films, setting up new storylines for future Marvel projects (source: Collider).
