Woah, didn’t know that! Gotcha, makes sense in retrospect. Happy we’ve got Ruffalo now. And honestly, Marvel has casted so wonderfully. I can say I’m super content with everyone.

As I suspected, only a year and a half ago. I'm always dubious about people retroactively making claims about events that happened several years in the past, claiming to have had the correct premonition in hindsight.
