    Mark Ruffalo may be reprising the role of Bruce Banner for the ninth time in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, but he certainly doesn't believe Marvel is putting out too much content.

    In an interview with Metro UK, Ruffalo was asked if there are too many Marvel shows and movies, and he vehemently defended the Disney-owned studio against claims over over-indulgence.

    "It's not something I worry about," he said. "I understand that these things run their course and then something else comes along. But the thing Marvel has done well is that, inside the MCU, just as they do with comic books, they let a director or an actor sort of recreate each piece to their own style, their likeness. Marvel generally lets them bring that to the material."

    He then went on to throw shade at Star Wars, another major Disney franchise.

    "If you watch a Star Wars, you're pretty much going to get the same version of Star Wars each time," he said.

    "It might have a little bit of humor. It might have a little bit of different animation. But you're always, really, in that same kind of world. But with Marvel you can have a whole different feeling, even within the Marvel Universe."

    She-Hulk: Attorney at Law premieres August 18 on Disney+.
