* So here's the skinny: Hulk's lower than he ever was. He's stuck in an iron hotel built just for him, and there's a new Sasquatch guarding the door.
* If he gets through him - and the rest of Gamma Flight - all he wins is an airlock to open space. It's a rigged game, with no way to win...

Today at CBR, series writer Al Ewing gave an interview regarding the upcoming future of the title, and within it he touched upon #40:
CBR: You and Joe Bennett introduce a new Sasquatch in November's Immortal Hulk #40. How similar and how different is this character to the previous one we saw in the early chapters of Immortal Hulk
Ewing: He's similar in some respects but very, very different in others. He's very much not the Sasquatch we know and love. Watch this space.
The new Sasquatch was an idea that came to me quite suddenly, so Joe didn't have as much time to prepare as he has in the past - but that fits with what we're doing with the character, in that he both is different and isn't. Joe's done an amazing job of bringing out the personality underneath the fur, but then he's been an absolute legend art-wise the whole way through this. We've got things coming up - including in the very next issue, #38 - that are absolutely going to blow your mind.

Ewing also goes on to mention December's #42 which is set to feature an anthology style section focusing on Puck:
In Immortal Hulk #42, you close out 2020 with a tale that looks to be reflective but also sets a lot of the stage for what's to come. What can you tell us about this issue?
It's the first all-out jam issue we've had since #3, and very much an issue to check in on the supporting cast and, as you say, set the stage for what's coming. With help from Adam Gorham, Alex Lins and Rachael Stott, we're seeing how things are playing out for the Gamma Flight, the Leader, and Jackie McGee - and each of those stories come with some major consequences, including a new set of foes arriving from the Hulk's stormy past! Things are definitely coming to a head, and I don't just mean Sam Sterns' massive megabonce.
