Just read the link I posted, especially the bolded part where if Universal doesn't want to be involved with the movie, the movie still happens.
How long does Universal have this right?
It's not much of a right, so who cares? Marvel Studios made The Incredible Hulk, doublechecked to be sure. Anything in the future they can do whether Universal wants it or not, Universal just gets the option to want to distribute before Marvel Studios can offer that to anyone else.
So like it is now as it was then, it all rests on Marvel to fit him into the works. Since he's not in there plans, keep on keepingon.

It appears that the deal with Universal for the distribution rights is perpetual. Disney was able to purchase back the rights from Paramount because it was a limited deal (6 films), but Marvel fucked up with Universal. So it stands that Disney can make a Hulk film, but Universal will have exclusive rights to distribute which Disney isn't interested in (because they are fully capable of doing themselves).
And maybe even Marvel studios doesn't think Hulk can (figuratively) carry a film to success. The Incredible Hulk was a great story as far as Hulk story goes, and it still didn't do that well. Probably better to have it be intertwined with Thor this way.
So that + Universal still getting to say "yeah we'll take our slice of the pie" means that Marvel stands to make money more easily on other properties first.
I'd think with the MCU the way it is, just about any MCU connected title will be more than fine. When the Hulk came out it was just 1 month after Iron Man and news of the MCU and everything it'd be today hadn't been released. Hell, by then with as well as Iron Man did people may of been giving it another viewing rather than watch another Hulk movie.
That said, I agree that Hulk is best intertwined with another property, unless they're ready to take on Planet and/or World War Hulk stories. Beyond those two, never got too much into his other stories. MOAR RAGE and silly twists like Mr. Fixit only go so far. With Ross appearing in Civil War though, it gives me hope that they'd get him on board for Red Hulk if it were to happen.
This is Planet Hulk.
Gladiator Hulk Armor Revealed from Thor: Ragnarok!
San Diego Comic-Con has officially kicked off the Saturday festivities and Marvel has revealed a new treat from one of their upcoming films at their booth – the Gladiator Hulk armor from Thor: Ragnarok! Check it out below!
Thor: Ragnarok will feature the return of Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder himself, with Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Idris Elba as Heimdall and Sir Anthony Hopkins again portraying Odin. Cate Blanchett plays the mysterious and powerful new villain Hela, Jeff Goldblum stars as the eccentric Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson will bring the classic hero Valkyrie to life on the big screen, and Karl Urban will add his might to the fray as Skurge.

should have put a disclaimer in the spoiler. It's a shop. But it's still fucking awesome.
Isn't this the last round for most the actors?
