The Hulk is taking on Gov. Cuomo!

Actor Mark Ruffalo, who played the Hulk in the Avengers movie, is expected to announce Wednesday that he’s endorsing underdog Zephyr Teachout over incumbent Andrew Cuomo in the Sept. 9 Democra💧tic primary for governor, The Post has learned.

Ruffalo is a staunch anti-fracking activist who opposes using the controversiaâ›Ļl deep drilling technique to unearth natural gas in upstat🧔e New York’s Marcellus Shale region.

Cuomo has avoided taking a stanđŸŧd on the issue, saying his administration is still studying the potential healīˇŊth impact of fracking.

Teachout opposes fracking.

The Teachout campaign Tuesday night declined comment on whetđŸŒēher it’s picking up Ruffalo’s support. But an unspecified campaign announcement is planned for Wednesday, an insider said.

Ruff𒆙alo has promoted Teachout a𓂃nd running mate Tim Wu in posts on his Tumblr and Twitter sites.

On Aug. 26, he posted a video of Teachout and provid𝓰es a link to a column that talks up scenarios of the little-known insurgent pulling off an upset.

The actor-director also on Aug. 20 posted on Twitter: “With major decisions on fracking and renewable energy coming after the election, who would you endorse @zephyrteachout or @nygovcuomo”

He also will back Wu over Cuomo’s running mate, fo🌱rmer Buffalo-area Rep. Kathy Hochul, for lieutenant governor.

“Hey New Yorkers, this is đŸģincredible . . . Timothy Wu for lieutenant✤ governor,” he said in an Aug. 28 tweet that linked to a New York Times endorsement of Wu.
