Peter Mensah is one of the best-known and most successful Ghanaian actors ever, and he is also among the most prolific in the West. One of the turning points in his career was when he appeared in The Incredible Hulk as General Joe Greller. This led to a vast range of other high-profile acting roles in the years that followed.
Now, with rumors circulating that there could be another Hulk movie in the pipeline, many fans of the actor must be wondering if he will reprise his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Mensah Best Known for Spartacus
After appearing in The Incredible Hulk in 2008, Mensah’s career went on an upward trajectory and he started to be offered many more prestigious parts. He is most famous for starring as Oenomaus, one of the lead characters in the series Spartacus. Unfortunately for fans of the series, it came to end after only three seasons and 39 episodes.
Mensah’s time as Oenomaus may have been short-lived, but there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the iconic characters from the series. Some of the many offshoots of Spartacus include comic books, novels, and the Spartacus Legends video game from Ubisoft. There are also numerous Spartacus-themed slot games such as those found at Buzz Bingo, like Spartacus Megaways, Spartacus: Gladiator of Rome, and Spartacus: Super Colossal Reels among others.
World War Hulk Rumored To Be on the Horizon
The MCU has expanded exponentially since the release of The Incredible Hulk way back in 2008. Interestingly, though, the green giant is one of the few key characters that haven’t been revisited much in sequels. Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America have all had at least three standalone pictures each, but the Hulk has only appeared as a supporting character.
This could be set to change according to rumors of a new Hulk picture that have been intensifying in recent years. After the release of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law on Disney+, there were clear signs that this could be leading to a new adventure for the angriest superhero in the world.
According to FandomWire, Harrison Ford has already been cast as Red Hulk in the MCU, and he will appear in the upcoming Thunderbolts. That could then lead to the legendary actor being used more in other titles such as the expected World War Hulk.
Recent Mensah Roles that Stand Out
Whether or not Mensah will be in the new Hulk movie remains to be seen as the secondary cast members won’t be announced until much later. However, people who love watching the Ghanaian on screen have plenty of other recent options that are well worth checking out.
Some of Mensah’s best roles in recent years have come on television, whereas his appearances in films have been more sporadic. The 63-year-old played Levi Hall in Departure in 2019, and the antagonist Qovas in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D in 2018.
There’s a strong chance that Mensah will be keen on reprising the role that helped propel his career to where it is today. He has been a bit MIA for the last couple of years, so it would be nice to see him return in something major like a new Hulk movie. According to The Direct, the picture could be set to hit screens in 2024.
