The three or four of us who thought Ang Lee's HULK was brilliant (we had purple pants made up for meetings) have been listening with varying degrees of concern and anticipation to the talk about which direction the sequel will take. The popular theory was that they were going to start from scratch, ignoring the first film as well as SUPERMAN III and IV (apparently everyone's doing it now). Now, according to Moviehole and Superhero Hype Boards, Avi Arad has told SFX Magazine that Bana isn't necessarily out, as we all thought he might be. Sure, Bana hasn't heard a word out of the production despite the contract clause requiring him to return for the sequel if the right strings are pulled, but it's not a definite denial. So, hot off the presses: producers haven't ruled out considering Eric Bana for a role in HULK 2! And to think people told me I wouldn't be able to find anything to write about this week... pfft!
