Stranger Things 2 just hit Netflix on October 27, but most of us have already zipped through the entire 9 episodes. Fans of the show have had quite a lot of strong feelings about the season and are even more excited about joining Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Eleven, and Max’s party than they were after season 1. One of those people seems to be the Hulk himself, Mark Ruffalo.
Ruffalo appeared on Good Morning America Tuesday, as did several members of the Stranger Things 2 cast. Noticeably absent, however, was Finn Wolfhard aka Mike Wheeler, and Ruffalo saw Wolfhard’s absence as the perfect opportunity to make his move to join the party.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think Hawkins could handle a Hulk in addition to all of the other craziness going on in that town! Of course, if the show found room for a hobbit in Sean Astin, maybe they can find room for Ruffalo too, right?
But don’t worry, Finn Fans. The official Stranger Things Twitter was quick to respond that though no one could replace Wolfhard, Ruffalo could potentially servce as Wolfhard’s understudy if Ruffalo could master that classic Mike Wheeler scowl.

So it looks like the Hawkins AV Club is sticking with its original members. Still, we love that Ruffalo loves Stranger Things just as much as we do!
