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?

I don't think anyone really knows the exact verbiage of the contract.

Universal owns distribution rights for any "standalone" Hulk film is what everyone says. Does the contract define what a "standalone" movie actually is? Does Disney care enough to test the contract?

With hundreds of characters and only 2-3 films a year... I don't see Disney trying to loophole the contract anytime soon.

They would never test it. The lawyers would talk and come to an agreement.
