In "Planet Hulk", a movie that takes place in the new MCU (after Secret Wars), the story follows the trajectory of the Hulk, who is exiled from Earth by the Illuminati, a group of superheroes concerned about his threat. He is sent to a distant planet called Sakaar. There, he is forced to become a gladiator known as "The Anomaly Plunderer" in the tyrannical regime of the Red King (Angmo-Asan), the cruel ruler of Sakaar. The Hulk quickly rises to prominence as one of Sakaar's most powerful gladiators and gains allies, including warriors like Caiera and fellow gladiators. As time passes, he leads a revolt against the oppressive rule of the Red King, who rules Sakaar with an iron fist. The plot focuses on the Hulk's fight to overthrow the Red King's regime, as he faces colossal challenges and faces moral dilemmas about justice and revenge. The film promises an epic action-adventure narrative, as the Hulk faces the cruel Red King and seeks justice for the people of Sakaar.
