"Since people asked me about the Hulk in Brand New Day - from what my source has seen he was definitely grey. So there could be a few reasons why hes green in the marketing: The marketing is misleading to avoid spoilers wouldnt be the first time. He starts off green and then turns grey. CGI allows late changes so maybe they switched him back to the regular green version"
