Hulk: Not Easy Being Green (on Screen)

Leave a comment

Rumblings of a new solo Hulk project have been pretty consistent since audiences became smitten with Mark Ruffalo’s take on Marvel’s Jade Giant in last year’s The Avengers. While there are certainly big plans for Hulk and his role in Avengers 2, anything more is really just wishful thinking on the part of fans – at least at this point.

Both Joss Whedon and Ruffalo have denied any current plans for a new Hulk solo project or the rumored Planet Hulk storyline for Avengers 2.

Let’s face facts: Hulk doesn’t have the best track record on the big screen. I’m not talking about box office returns, but rather reception. We’re all familiar with the vitriol that’s associated with Ang Lee’s Hulk, but even the reaction to the more action-minded Incredible Hulk was lukewarm. While I admit I’m far more attracted to Ang Lee’s version (final 20 minutes aside), I don’t think even a diehard Incredible Hulk enthusiast would deny that Hulk is clearly the outcast in terms of the movie Avengers.

Whedon: Ruffalo is the Key to a Hulk Movie

Leave a comment

Over the last month or two, there’s been a lot of talk surrounding a standalone Hulk movie, particularly one adapted from World War Hulk or Planet Hulk. Mark Ruffalo tweeted just yesterday that he wouldn’t be making another appearance as Bruce Banner until Marvel’s The Avengers 2.

Avengers director Joss Whedon also had a few words on the matter last week, but in a recent interview with Deadline the filmmaker expanded on his original answer, noting exactly why he thinks a Hulk movie is so damn tricky:

Joss Whedon Denies Planet Hulk Storyline

Leave a comment

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.

How Will Hulk Evolve in Marvel's Phase 3 Movies?

Leave a comment

Marvel Studios just wrapped up its slate of “Phase 1” superhero movies with the release of The Avengers last year. This year, Iron Man 3 will officially kick off Phase 2 and the build-up to Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014. It may seem silly at this early stage for fans to be speculating on the lineup for Phase 3, but when has the Internet ever been afraid to rumor monger? Last week we caught wind of an interesting rumor regarding the future of Hulk in Marvel Studios‘ film projects. According to Latino Review, The Avengers 2 will conclude with Hulk being banished into space, thereby setting the stage for a Planet Hulk movie and an Avengers 3 that will adapt the events of the World War Hulk storyline.

Rumors About Marvel's Phase 3 Movies

Leave a comment

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.)
