Liv Tyler to Return as Betty Ross In Avengers: Infinity War?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is moving through Phase 3 at a brisk pace so far, and most would probably say the results have been pretty great. Still, even though there are a ton of movies to look forward to before Phase 3 comes to a close, anticipation forAvengers: Infinity Waris already building in a big way. The movie is scheduled to start filming soon and it looks like we may be seeing some unexpected faces returning to the MCU. Namely,Liv Tyleras Betty Ross.

A recent report fromThe Daily Recordclaims thatAvengers: Infinity Warwill be shooting next month in the Scottish cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. The site noted that there will be “big screen superstars” on hand for the shoot, which includes the usual suspects such asRobert Downey Jr.andSamuel L. Jackson. But the report did have an interesting bit in thatLiv Tyler, who hasn’t appeared in the MCU since 2008’sThe Incredible Hulk, will be featured in the movie.

We know that the cast forAvengers: Infinity War, as well as the untitledAvengers 4is going to be absolutely massive, but ifLiv Tylertruly does come back, it seems like it will be spanning the length of the MCU. This would have seemed less believable beforeCaptain America: Civil War, but sinceWilliam Hurtreturned as General Ross, it seems much more believable that his daughter will be around to watchThanoslay waste to Earth’s mightiest heroes. It also could make for an interesting love triangle between Hulk, Betty and Natasha, since Bruce and Black Widow were hitting it off inAvengers: Age of Ultron, but Betty was his original love.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a model for insane success that every studio in Hollywood is trying to emulate in some way, shape or form. It would be hard to say that the MCU has had any outright flops, butThe Incredible Hulkis easily the closest thing. The movie came out shortly afterIron Manand at the time, the public wasn’t really aware that these movies were going to be connected and thatThe Avengerswas going to happen. The movie only made $263 million worldwide from a comparatively high reported production budget of $150 million. The movie also wasn’t the critical success that many MCU movies are, but it has since found an audience with the legions of hardcore Marvel fans out there.

It will be interesting to see how Marvel Studios approaches this, ifLiv Tylerdoes come back as Betty Ross inInfinity War. InThe Incredible Hulk, she was dealing withEdward Nortonas Bruce Banner, who was recast forThe Avengers. It has beenMark Ruffalotaking over smashing duties in the years since. Most fans seem to be pretty happy with that choice, so they would probably treat it just how they did whenTerrence Howardwas replaced as Rhodey byDon CheadleinIron Man 2; act as though nothing happened and just move on. Least we not forget that Eric Bana played Bruce Banner in the 2003 Hulk, with Jennifer Connelly portraying Betty Ross. The 2008 was set up as a reboot and a sequel, though both movies coming from Universal. The 2003 Hulk is not tied into the current Marvel cinematic canon.

At the moment, we still know next to nothing aboutAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers 4aside from the fact that it will continue the conflict seen inCivil War. We know that Thanos is finally going to be getting the Infinity Gauntlet and Stones assembled, meaning that he is likely going to be on a universe leveling path of destruction. Now we know that Betty Ross may show up, which is something. As production ramps up, we’ll surely be getting more solid details.Avengers: Infinity WarandAvengers 4are being directed byJoeandAnthony Russo, who directed bothCaptain America: The Winter SoliderandCaptain America: Civil War.Avengers: Infinity Waris scheduled to hit theaters on July 07, 2025, andAvengers 4will come out a year later on June 09, 2025.
