Revealed Hulk will be ONE???ofthe villians in the Avengers

[Hmarrs]

Just wanted your guys's input on this.I kind of figured he would be a villian since Stark aproaches Ross to be on the team and not Banner.However what bothers me is that it says Hulk will be One of the VIllians???He should be the only opposing force BY HIMSELF and then not even he should be that way and then turn around and save the day at the end.

Man I smell a mess comming on!!!!!!

Exclusive: Edward Norton Addresses the Marvel Issues

March 13, 2010



A few years ago, actors Edward Norton and Tim Blake Nelson appeared together in Louis Letterier's The Incredible Hulk. Not many people realized that Norton was partially responsible for bringing Nelson on board for the role of Samuel Sterns, as the two had already been working together on a couple of movies, the one that came to fruition being Nelson's original comedy Leaves of Grass in which Norton plays a dual role of two very different identical twins.

Earlier today, ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype had a chance to talk with the duo about the movie, and since we hadn't really spoken with Norton for some time--well before he was cast in the Marvel Studios movie--we wanted to ask him about the current status of his relationship with the studio, especially since all their individual movies seem to be building to The Avengers, in which the Hulk is rumored to be one of the villains. For those unaware, Norton had some issues with the final cut of Louis Letterier's movie, which he had co-written, but when asked in the years since then, he has been somewhat dismissive of the idea of returning.

When asked today whether he has had any communication with Marvel since then, Norton's response was cheerfully optimistic about things working themselves out. "Yeah, to some degree, through my agents," he told us, "But there's always been an agenda I think to unspool a lot of the Marvel Universe and then come back... I think they've got a lot of new stuff that they're rolling out and then I think at some point they're going to figure out how they want to get around to 'Avengers.'"

The key words here are "rumored to be". It's not confirmed.

 

[Chris Wallace]

"Rumored" & "Revealed" kinda cancel each other out, don't you think?

 

[Figs]

If he is in fact in the Avengers film he better not be the only threat or that will really suck. He got his own film like the other characters, we should have more than just him.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think/hope he is a villain for half of it but then is the true hero who saves the day at the end.

 

[comicfan4Life]

I agree, Hulk shouldn't be the only threat. It looks like they're going the Ultimates route. I liked the first Ultimates, the second one was good, hated the third, but I agree Hulk shouldn't be the only threat.

 

[bubbadoom]

Of course he should be the "first" villain, the reason the team is put together [like in Avengers #1], and then joins [or is tricked to help] the Avengers defeat the greater menace.

You want the Hulk to be the only villain AND save the day? How is that possible? He starts punching himself in the face or what?

 

[some guy]

By the very nature of the character, it's a safe bet that the Hulk will be fighting the Avengers at some point in the story. He's not just going to come out and say, "Hey, guys, can I join your club?" He'd be like, "LEAVE HULK ALONE!"

I've been thinking, the Hulk's always been regarded as a menace in the comics, but I don't recall that he's ever been referred to outright as a "villain." Even Namor's been referred to as a supervillain at times. For that matter, I hardly hear the Hulk referred to as an anti-hero either.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Are they gonna make another Incredible Hulk movie before the Avengers come out?

 

[some guy]

No, but they could consider doing another Hulk if Avengers does well.

 

[comicfan4Life]

Exactly, that I agree with. I hope they don't do the ultimates route with the whole Chitauri thing. I want the whole Loki tricks Hulk angle.

 

[Hmarrs]

Ha!!!No I mean like in the first issue if there is a greater threat using the Hulk or what have you or if there are other villians he should turn around and help them in the end.
If they go that route.

 

[Hmarrs]

Exactly, that I agree with. I hope they don't do the ultimates route with the whole Chitauri thing. I want the whole Loki tricks Hulk angle.

Exactly but they probably won't do the Lokit thing,However it would make more sense to do it that way since the Thor movie woulod have already been out and we would be able to Identify with Loki at that point.
However I don't think so for fear of repetition.Using Loki after just having used him in Thor.
I think they would want a new fresh threat.

 

[comicfan4Life]

^That's true, but for some reason I think they can do alot better than ultimate universe skrulls. Maybe Ultron?

 

[spiderwyze]

Yeah, hopefully there'd be a main villain in the movie besides the Hulk. I could see that villain (Loki, Ultron, Kang, or someone else) using Hulk as a distraction to keep the heroes occupied. Hulk's rage and strength are amplified to uncontrollable levels, and he rampages across three states and brings the heat of several heroes onto him ... all the while the main villain is off somewhere else accomplishing his goal with zero interference. By the time the (now-exhausted) heroes have contained the Hulk and they have Banner deep in some reinforced SHIELD bunker, they found out about the overarching villain plot, but by that time it's almost too far along in the process for any one of them o stop it.

Any one of them, but not a team...

The heroes assemble as the Avengers, and Hulk is even among them, because at the end of "The Incredible Hulk" (and prior to being hijacked by the villain in "Avengers"), Bruce Banner had found a way to exert more conscious control over his actions as the Hulk. The Hulk would still have its own personality, but one capable of rational thought, complete sentences, and decent grammar. He'd still be too stubborn to follow orders, but point him at a bad guy who gets to be smashed in the face, and watch the magic happen.

Are you talkin a Gray Hulk personna?If so I can see it that's the way he really was anyway in the beggining of his creation and in the begginng with the Avengers.I would like that.

 

[comicfan4Life]

Grey Hulk would be awesome!

 

[some guy]

Although the Hulk was green when he first joined the Avengers, his personality at the time was basically Gray Hulk. It could work.

 

[Docker2.0]

Hulk was the original villian when the Avengers formed, though he was being influenced by Loki, which I'm sure will be one of the plots of the movie. I'm hoping we see a smart Hulk which the movie eluded to at the end of the Hulk movie.

 

[Spidey-Quad]

Bah! Hulk needs no one, Hulk is the strongest one of all. Grey, Green, or Red

 

[Obi-Ron]

Not red.

 

[bullets]

I read the person Norton had the problem with is no longer involved with the studio , is that still referencing Letterier or is that someone else?

 

[bubbadoom]

I would assume it was Avi...
