Variety reported on the star’s comments when he was asked if he thinks Marvel Studios is putting out too much content between its movie slate and its ever-expanding lineup of Disney+ Original series:
“I understand that these things run their course and then something else comes along. But the thing Marvel has done well is that, inside the MCU, just as they do with comic books, they let a director or an actor sort of recreate each piece to their own style, their likeness. Marvel generally lets them bring that to the material.”

Ruffalo went on to throw a little bit of shade at Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise, saying:
“If you watch a ‘Star Wars,’ you’re pretty much going to get the same version of ‘Star Wars’ each time. It might have a little bit of humor. It might have a little bit of different animation. But you’re always, really, in that same kind of world. But with Marvel you can have a whole different feeling, even within the Marvel Universe.”
