Joss Whedon Denies Planet Hulk Storyline

We’ve got some bad news for those of you excited by speculation that the plot of Marvel’s The Avengers 2 would centre around the Planet Hulk storyline; Joss Whedon has confirmed exclusively to IGN that this will not be the case.

When we sat down with the director to talk about his upcoming version of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, we couldn’t resist asking if there was any truth to the rumours that future Avengers movies would make use of the Planet Hulk or World War Hulk storylines.

His reply, which can be watched in the above video, was, “Well I’m really not supposed to comment, but no, that’s nonsense.”

Speculation that the next Avengers movie would be Hulk-centric began last month when Latino Review claimed that The Avengers 2 would end with Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk shipped off Earth by the MCU’s (Marvel Cinematic Universe) version of the Illuminati, which would in turn lead to one of Marvel’s Phase 3 movies being a live-action Planet Hulk film.

Whedon Comments on a Hulk Solo Movie

There’s no denying that Mark Ruffalo‘s Hulk was one of the standouts in Marvel’s The Avengers. The character has definitely struggled in the past, but many fans have since gotten on board with the idea of giving the Jade Giant another solo round on screen. Although Marvel head Kevin Feige has said a Ruffalo Hulk movie is definitely within the realm of possibility, it wouldn’t be something they’d attempt until after The Avengers 2.

Earlier this week, director Joss Whedon shared his own thoughts on the matter, noting that another Hulk film could potentially work — but not without some clever innovation.

“Hulk is a tricky son of a bitch. He’s the Claudio of superheroes,” Whedon said at the Glasgow Film Festival on Sunday. “Because the problem is it’s a very popular character, but it’s not a superhero. Half of it’s a superhero, half of it’s a werewolf. And you can’t structure it like a superhero movie, you can’t light it like a superhero movie. How do you develop that? It would be extremely difficult. The one thing you would have in your favour would be Mark Ruffalo. But right now I don’t know if they have plans to do that or not, because he works so well as part of a greater whole, but by himself, it’s tough. I don’t envy the guys who went before.”

Rumors About Marvel's Phase 3 Movies

The rumor mill has hulked out over Marvel Studios‘ Phase 3 movie slate.

The report comes via Latino-Review and should the rumors pan out (they do have a sweet track record) then consider these pretty giant SPOILERS AHEAD.

Like, seriously, don’t read any further if you don’t want to know.

You’re really going to go through with this, aren’t you?

OK, well, we warned you.

According to Latino-Review, Marvel’s The Avengers 2 will see Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk shipped off Earth by the MCU’s (Marvel Cinematic Universe) version of the Illuminati. That means one of Marvel’s Phase 3 movies would be a live-action Planet Hulk film. (Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently revealed that Ant-Man and Doctor Strange would also be Phase 3 movies.)
