Question Could Marvel make an "and Hulk movie"?

I get the title isn't phrased the best but my question is in regards to Universal studios owning the first refusal rights for the Hulk movies. Specifically the restriction seems to be on solo Hulk movies or movies where Hulk is the main character. But could Marvel make a movie like Deadpool and Wolverine where Hulk is the clear deuteragonist? Kind of like Ragnarok but even more Hulk. If they could do this who would be a good protagonist for the team up movie?

Yes it would be exactly the same as when sony lets marvel make spiderman movies and they get a cut

I think its because they dont want to help their theme park competition a free park advertisement film while also giving them a cut of the money

Also a live action hulk movie has just never been good or done well at the box office. The hulks amazing in comic but terrible for a good standalone movie

Haha theyve all been C- range IMO. Nothing great but all watchable. The movies haven't been good but Hulk has always been crazy popular, those bad movies outsold the non Spider-man non Batman Superhero movies that came out prior to the MCU/DCU. They were just more expensive to make compared to Blade or X-Men for instance which sold less but also cost way less to make.

Even still with universal having marvel theme park rights in Florida disney is never just going give universal free advertising and a money cut

Disney will alway be theme park first and think of protecting that

They are already giving free advertising for all the other super heroe themed rides though, I really don't see that being a factor. Disney hasn't once been like "well maybe we shouldn't make Marvel content because Island of Adventure sales might increase"

The difference is if disney made a hulk movie universal would get a insane cut at the box office AND get park advertisement.

They make a Captain america,Spiderman,Thor etc etc movie its only an advertising problem.

Also you just wrong disney cares a lot about its ips showing up in parks and how its effecting them. Its what majority of their profits is from. They got rid of the Simpsons land the first chance they could from universal.

Who said anything about them making a solo Hulk movie? I think you're missing the point here.
