Avengers: Endgame surprised audiences with the introduction of "Professor Hulk," who combined the might of Hulk with the intelligence of Bruce Banner. Following that appearance, legendary Incredible Hulk writer Peter David hopes the hero's introduction will lead to an adaptation of his and George Pérez's The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect miniseries.

During an appearance at Dragon Con 2019, David explained his excitement at seeing the version of the character that he'd co-created to Comics: The Gathering and his desire for an adaptation of Future Imperfect, saying, "Now, I'm hoping that they wind up doing Future Imperfect, which I think would be freaking awesome. I think Future Imperfect would make a fantastic Hulk movie."

However, he knows there would have to be some changes to the source material. "I mean, I would even have the trophy room, except, you know, they don't have Rick Jones in movie continuity," he said. "So I know exactly who I would have oversee the trophy room. I'd have the Black Widow. An incredibly aged Black Widow. And Bruce would walk in to see and go, 'Natasha, but... you’re dead. You died in this world.' And she’d go, 'No, Clint died.' And then he would realize he's in an alternate future. Because you know, in that version, Clint died and the Black Widow survives. So that's how I would do that. I would have an incredibly aged Natasha there. I think that would be freaking awesome."

Future Imperfect was a two-part miniseries that saw the Jade Giant, now in his "Professor Hulk" state, being brought 100 years into a possible future to battle the Maestro, an insane, older version of himself that had taken over the world. However, due to Universal owning the distribution rights to the Hulk's solo movies, a Future Imperfect film may prove difficult, as the hero has typically been relegated to the movies of other heroes.
