Where was Hulk when all the Avengers needed him most? Why wouldn't he come out even though Bruce Banner kept repeatedly trying? Could Hulk have saved half the universe from Thanos' snap?
Mark Ruffalo revealed that the plot point actually dates back to a discussion he had with Joss Whedon when filming Avengers: Age of Ultron. It all boils down to one main point—the Hulk actually fears Bruce.
"We went back and forth a lot on how to end the movie with Banner, and do we repeat the Hulk coming at the last minute or do we try something new?" Mark told The Marvelist podcast. "And I think at that point we were all thirsting to have Banner be his own hero for once."

"There's a conflict brewing between Banner and Hulk that's been going on since the beginning and it all came out of this question that Joss Whedon asked me when Hulk gets the fairy dust from Scarlet Witch sprinkled on him in Avengers 2," he added.
"Joss asked, 'What is Hulk afraid of?' And that was a hard thing for me to answer, because what is the strongest, fiercest thing in the universe afraid of?” Mark went on to say.
"And then I realised, it's Banner. The only thing Hulk is afraid of is Banner. And so that's become something we've been riffing on since Avengers 2. We played with a lot in Ragnarok, and it continues to be teased out in Infinity War 1 and Infinity War 2."
Is that a teaser of what's coming in Avengers 4?

Mark also answered questions about the future of the character in the next movie.
"I will say that I want to see this [Banner vs Hulk] conflict carried out and see where that takes us and see can they come to terms with it? Do they get a moment? I always thought it would be great to see them in some sort of subspace where they get to battle it out with Banner's brains as some sort of his own superpower, like psych weaponry against Hulk's brute strength and have these two characters battle it out.”
"I always thought that would be the ultimate comic book ending or something, opening to these characters," Mark said.
That sounds like a perfect Hulk-Banner moment to have and we really hope it comes true in Avengers 4!
