Should Hulk Get Another Solo? What would it be about?

Should Hulk Get a New Solo film?

  • Yes, it should be based in space.

  • Yes, it should be somewhere on earth.

  • No, but he should be a main side character in a film much like Black Widow in Captain America 2.

  • No, Hulk should be in Avengers films only.

I think they really like the Bruce Banner human aspect of the character to give Ruffalo more to do.
I agree. That's one thing I think I liked about the 80's tv series, he was Hulk for one or two scenes per episode. A majority of the time he was David Banner. If they do a Hulk movie I want one or two big scenes where he is Hulk. The rest is character development as Bruce Banner. Not JUST romance either. :whatever: We don't need to keep being reminded of why Hulk doesn't want to sleep with anyone.
Especeially not mentioned by RDJr again like during Avenger Family Feud:
041415-cc-avengers-feud-teams-600.jpg

(Basically Chris: Hulk you should know this one, wheres the worst place to turn into hulk? They fail it goes to Robert: "Sleeping, in bed... with someone.")
I think it has to be War World Hulk, not quite a solo, but it's one of the very few ways Marvel will be 100% confident to bring on another hulk movie. Yes, we all love Hulk from the avengers but half of the reasons are becoz of his interaction with other superheroes.

While you can have him vs red hulk/bring in she-hulk, I think people are more keen to see superhuman vs hulk rather than a monsters fight like TIH.

Although, it'll be expensive as f***. They can get way with it in a smaller scale film where he does not go full action til the 3rd act. But if Marvel makes a WWH, HULK's screen time will double/triple. That could be as expensive as an Avengers film. But judging from the structure of the current MCU, how fast things are moving and how unexpected these massive things have been dropping onto us, that can totally happen.
I like the idea, as long as they don't make Hulk out to be the bad guy, nor make the Illuminati or whoever out to be the bad guys. Basically this would allow for a second civil war almost... I think it could be a good way to get rid of the registration act. Have hulk come raging and hulk forces them to delete their database and shut down the program.

I also agree they should do better than just bringing a girl version of hulk or a red version of hulk as the villains. Instead of a villain like the hulk (like Abomination) they need someone else for him to beat.
 
I've heard people say before that the Hulk works best when he is not trying to hide or control himself, because he is going against what the audience wants. When he is allowed to embrace it and use it, it makes for a more fun movie and is a different take than "oh no I've lost control again".

And we have seen so far in the Avengers that he has gotten control over it, and can turn it on when he wants.
As long as Scarlet Witch isn't forcing him to go hulk...
 
The Leader is a must.
Ooh.. I like that idea. They could even go with the original storyline of the leader, and his attempts to study hulk. (As shown here) That way they would have the Chameleon and other villains. Even allowing Rhino to cross over from or to spider-man.

For me,that's always been the appeal of the character. The irony that the audience wants to see the protagonist lose it all the time,but if he had his way,he'd never Hulk out again.:woot:

The Hulk is very unique among CB characters. And I think they should really tap into that tragedy/wish fulfillment aspect more. Here's a guy that's usually on the run. He wants nothing more than live a normal life with the woman he loves, but (at least in this version,much like the TV version) he's cursed by his own hand and will do whatever it takes to cure himself. That should be gold for a solo series.

They got that in Avengers,but what with his "Hulk out on command" at the end,I'm always a bit leery that they are going to just turn him into "just another hero".

Yeah... I hated how they made it seem like he could Hulk on command in the movie, just a half hour after showing he was trying to kill black widow for almost no reason... hulk kill someone who isn't attacking him for almost no reason? >.< Then later when he is hulk he has full control and fights alongside the people who tossed him off of the plane... more reason to be mad at them, but he teams with them.
That's why I hope they fix it some in AoU. (By the looks of it they might... but they might just make it worse) Otherwise another Solo movie to re-show how his powers work, now that there is a new actor and obviously his powers work differently from in TIH, it would be great. I wouldn't mind if they did deals with Universals similar to Sony, then considered this new hulk a reboot. (Eg. Not a continuum of TIH) I know that TIH is supposed to be part of the MCU, but honestly I would rather they sweep that movie under the rug a bit. The events can have happens, but not in exactly the same way. The actor changed, hulk works a bit differently (though in Avengers he doesn't work as well as in TIH, unless they fix it soon) they can pretend that TIH is half cannon. I guess it was just the fact that it was the same as the previous hulk movie that made it bad... otherwise the actor, which changed, and the powers, which could technically be explained. So maybe no throwing away of TIH is necessary. I just hate to see the hulk abused and used as an invincible character who turns hulk when convenient for the storyline, can control himself when convenient but has no control otherwise... :wall:
 
Why not a mixture of something along the lines of both the CROSSROADS story and PLANET HULK? Something like that could be a very unique MCU film. In CROSSROADS Banner is manipulated by Nightmare, and he loses all control over the Hulk, who turns bestial and savage and is pointed straight at the heart of Manhattan on a rampage. This totally bestial Hulk runs afoul of SHIELD, the military, Powerman and Iron Fist, the Avengers and Thor, until a grieving Dr. Strange is forced to banish him from Earth using his magic. This was the only way Strange could come up with a way to keep Hulk/Banner from killing others or himself being killed. Hulk is sent to the Crossroads between dimensions. The spell allows for Hulk to go from world to world, dimension to dimension until he can find a world where he will be content. Hulk has many adventures in a variety of worlds until he is accidentally brought back by Alpha Flight.

That of course is too convoluted for the MCU, but the basic idea, that he is taken away from Earth, and has to go from different world to different world is solid, I think. So have a film with that as an early part and then have that be the reason he lands on Sakkar. Then you follow the PH template more or less, though I would have a lot more Banner involved with the story, and I think a Hulk that speaks and is a full character in his own right is a plus, though one that is more "Hulk Smash" than speaking in full sentences is my druthers. Hell, you could get a trilogy out of it. Part one is a CIVIL WAR styled film. A mini Avengers if you will, with the forces of the MCU and the other heroes against Hulk as he rampages due to influence by some evil character. The early parts would be about how Banner feels he is slipping in his control, until finally he loses it completely. This film ends with Thor and Hulk battling one on one until Strange comes by and does the banishing trick. End first film. Second film is Crossroads inspired where we see Banner/Hulk traversing world after world, perhaps in the process defeating some threat from the Crossroads plane. This film would really explore the Banner and Hulk dichotomy , maybe with exstensive scenes where they communicate on the astral plane. That film ends with him stranded on Sarkar. BOOM... Planet Hulk film, with Banner and Hulk struggling to survive a savage world.

That's maybe too much to ask for. Still I think Hulk should have a solo. Get Leader and the U-Foes involved. Something unique .
 
@ Pecola, okay, first off, Loki was manipulating them all so that tensions were high, and that's not a good environment for someone like Banner. Second, Bruce wasn't entirely happy with Nat from the very beginning, and that probably transferred to the Hulk consciousness, and since the transformation was triggered by a sudden explosion, it's easy to imagine that Hulk associated the pain of that with the closest thing Bruce saw as an aggressor (since neither would have known it was actually Hawkeye). At the very least, before Hulk gets tackled by Thor, he actually hesitates to strike Widow after side-lining her. He has his hand up for a backhand, but his muscles visibly relax and his expression softens. He wasn't going to kill her, regardless of Thor's intervention.

In New York, Bruce was basically letting Hulk out to play, and was guiding him like he did against the Abomination in TIH. I suppose in that scenario, Hulk wouldn't be too stubborn against Bruce's wishes, since he's being allowed to smash things anyways. It's a win-win for both sides of his psyche. You could maybe compare it to venting after a stressful day. That's not control, that's actually letting yourself go nuts.

Sorry, that's just a very old and tired complaint about A1 that I aim to quickly put to rest whenever I see it pop up.

tldr; There's a good reason for Bruce seemingly having control all of a sudden in New York. If you want to know what that is, read that wall of text above. Or go find someone who has argued this even more than I have haha.

Anyways, I think the bravest thing to do with the character is to flip most of what we come to expect on it's head.

Instead of being on the run from the military, have him work with the military (to counter a greater threat, like the Leader), or actively fight against them if they won't play ball and insist on getting in the way of what needs to be done. The "man on the run" trope comes from having a protagonist that's primarily reactive, which means that if the antagonist didn't make any move against the protagonist at all, the protagonist would do virtually nothing and you wouldn't have a conflict. I think what we're really sick of, is watching Bruce sit on his ass until someone pushes him, and that being the primary reason we ever see Hulk action.

Proactive entails a protagonist that wants to achieve a goal, and will take the steps necessary to reach that goal, which often means fighting opposition. I think we need to see Bruce in that role for once. Which is going to mean he may even be willing to unleash the Hulk upon his enemies, and the question of when and when not to take such drastic measures may take a toll on his sanity, and we may start to see a Bruce that actually DOES want to give the audience what they want, but at the cost of his own sanity. In order to prevail, Bruce may need to walk a dark path, and that would allow a story to give us both a heroic Hulk, that still has a sense of tragedy and danger (to succumbing to anger and catharsis).

tldr; I want to see a movie where Bruce is on a mission of some sort, and either because of a personal connection to the mission, or just a profound sense of responsibility and integrity, or both, intends to see it through no matter how little he trusts himself or what risks he'd have to take.

I want to see Bruce pushed to the limit, and forced to make hard choices and basically give into his anger and hatred in order to overcome overwhelming odds. And weaponizing the Hulk might not even be the only morally questionable thing he has to do. He is a genius after all, and his intelligence can be just as dangerous.

Yeah pretty much. Even if Disney has to share, it's still money in pocket, and Universal surely knows this. Even if they won't cut a deal (which if a deal can be made with freaking SONY, then why not Universl), I'm surprised Universal is content to sit on the property. It's not like they really have anything to lose, since all they do is distribute.

We really need a smilie that translates to this point.

They don't have the rights to make the movie; they have the rights to *distribute* the movie, as I understand it.

I like that idea! However, it might be best to do that after Nightmare is already introduced in a Doc Strange film. What if... and this may be crazy sounding... instead of Nightmare could they instead tie this in using Mysterio? Mainly I mean to say that they could do this after they introduce Mysterio in spider-man. (If they do) This would allow for hallucinations to be forced on Banner without the need of him sleeping. It would work really well if you think about it, but only if Mysterio is introduced and Nightmare is not. Of course if they were both introduced, I would stick with one, I think a team up from both of them would be WAY overkill, probably best they choose Nightmare because later in the story Doc Strange is needed, but if they chose Mysterio it would allow them to tie the movie in to the Spider-Man movies and the Dr Strange movie. I like the idea of using Mysterio especially because it seems like his powers would work better, but also because it would tie in with the Spider-Man movies. There will be multiple Spider-Man movies, possibly ever other or every year, but it looks like we will likely only see a Dr. Strange movie every phase, maybe not even that!

I see what you mean, thanks for showing me that! I must have not noticed or realized that even though I have seen the Avengers movie so many times! I think they could have been less subtle about it and showed those things more clearly, but that's what another solo is for... right? :p
As for your ideas, I think that is a good general idea for a film, and I agree! Whatever happens it would be great to show hulk having to make hard decisions some of which are using Hulk as a weapon, some as using his science mind. That is one thing that I often used to hear people say, people saw videos of Hulk smashing tanks and destroying military people and assumed Hulk was the 'bad guy'. At the very least they would say that what he was doing was wrong, even if he can't control it. I think Banner needs to struggle with this too, but ultimately realize that if he cant control it he can at least guide it, and lead it to not making mistakes.
Here is my question. Since CBM genre are so hot and profitable. If Universal has rights to the Hulk why aren't they doing a movie. Inaction seems moronic
They don't have the rights to make the movie; they have the rights to *distribute* the movie, as I understand it.
I was under the impression that they had right to make and distribute, but if they don't have rights to create, i would assume Marvel does, which means why is Marvel not jumping up to make deals with universal so they can start making a film? Maybe like many who have commented here Marvel doesn't see as much potential in Hulk, and feels that it's not worth the time and money, and they don't have plans for him in the story of the MCU, so there is no need to make a movie.
Also, if Universal did have all rights to Hulk solos they would not be able to connect it to the MCU officially, and therefore the only people to watch it would be hulk fans, which are a very small amount of people, especially after the last two hulk movies. I think for it to be a big success it must connect with the MCU, and therefore marvel needs to make a deal with them. They should, and maybe they are currently, jumping on each-others doorsteps asking to come up with and decide on a deal.
 
Disney would have to purchase the distribution rights from Universal just like they did with Paramount for the other films. Marvel has the rights to all the characters including Hulk. And can use Hulk in any way they please in ensemble films like they are currently doing without paying them anything. I suspect Disney hasn't even made an offer for them. Just sit back and let the rights revert and continue to stuff Hulk in Avengers/Civil War type films is probably what Disney will do. Spiderman is the only one that gets this special treatment.

Spiderman only came up because of false rumors that came out about a deal going on, otherwise it wasn't a big deal to Marvel.
How long would they have to wait for rights to revert? Either way waiting isn't smart, all Universal has to do is create another movie to keep the rights, and if they didn't plan on doing that then they would gladly take a small amount of money from Marvel to give the rights away. IF they have no plans they have no leverage to make the amount of money higher, if they did have plans they would never let the rights expire. If they chose to wait, then either Universals would do nothing, and they would get Hulk for free, but have to wait so long, or Universals would pump out another film, the film would most likley fail, and both parties would lose. There is no reason why Universal wouldn't want to make a trade unless they plan on turning it into a franchise like Fox has with F4 or X-Men, or like Sony did with spiderman, and a solo hero Hulk who is already in an alternate universe, is not going to work that well. The only thing I can even think of that Universals could do is bring a Hulk Solo and then bring in Namor as well. Otherwise it isn't going to likely work very well.
 
I thought Planet Hulk was bad, so i really don't want to see it adapted. I would dig a new Hulk flick. Maybe one done like The Grey, but with Banner transforming back and forth into the Hulk trying to survive a brutal winter scene and wendigo instead of wolves. Idunno, just spitballing.
 
all I want is for them to reestablish bruce & betty. I'm not diggin people shipping bruce & widow. widow belongs with hawkeye.

Amen

How hard is it for them to put Betty in a supporting role in an Avengers movie? Instead they want to saddle him with the Widow of all people! It's just lazy sounding.

that sounds good to me, although i heard that they didn't want to have pepper in av1 in the first place because of not wanting supporting characters from each heroes. but since they did, and hulk is getting lesser treatment, they should've had betty be in av2.

Your not listening to me. There is a difference in production rights and distribution rights. Universal CAN NOT make Hulk films. Thats up to Marvel. They can make one as they please. Universal would distribute the film. Disney probably wants to distribute the film themselves which is why they opt not to make Hulk films because they want 100 percent of the money.
 
Space Hulk is stupid. Yeah, let's just shoot him off to space, because we've basically ran out of ideas. It makes no sense.

Another Hulk movie should be mad, if only to introduce Jennifer Walters as She-Hulk. :)
 
I'd rather see another Hulk trilogy set on Earth before going into Space. IMO, it should go like this.

Hulk: Ghost of the Past - Hulk takes on the Leader. Joe Fixit persona emerges as Bruce's id. Hulk breaks up with Natasha and gets back together with Betty. Jen Walters is introduced and gets injured, requiring her to get a transfusion of Bruce's blood. Rick Jones is introduced. Half-Life and Madman are supporting antagonists. Phase 4 film.

Hulk: Code Red - Red Hulk and the Gamma Corps begin hunting Bruce down. Professor persona appears as a more stable persona, thus leading to the torch being passed to a younger actor. Marlo Chandler and Amadeus Cho are introduced. Phase 5 should be Dark Reign and Thad Ross will appear next in Black Panther: Enemy of the State. Phase 5 films should be about the heroes losing their image in the eyes of the public while Norman Osborn is in charge of SHIELD.

Hulk: Fall of the Pantheon. Hulk's PMC dedicated to fighting injustice turns out to be responsible for a number of war crimes. Hulk and his closest friends (Betty Ross, Marlo Chandler, Rick Jones and Amadeus Cho) are forced to disband the organization which they founded. It's easier said than done since they aren't going down without a fight and they count a number of superhumans among their ranks.

Hulk will be part of the West Coast Avengers and at the end of Phase 6, Tony Stark will shoot him off into space.

Planet Hulk - Bruce lands on another planet where he's forced to be a gladiator by the Sakaarans. He winds up defeating the Red King and bringing their entire army back with him to earth to get his revenge on Tony Stark.

West Coast Avengers: World War Hulk - Hulk is back and this time around, he isn't happy to see the Avengers. Phase 7 finale.
 
There was info talked about Hulk in some age of ultron press release. Basically a reporter asked whether they had any plans for hulk. *Silence for a few seconds* Mark first said "Do you wanna tell him?" There was a bit of silence
Then Joss said "No it's... you go."
Then there was more silence and mark said "I can't.... sorry, can't."
Then Joss teased (during laughter and in an epic voice) "It's too amazing..."
Then they moved on to the next question.
Here's the clip, though I warn you that the way the question is formed it reveals spoilers about AoU. Just skip to the 20:00 mark in the video to hear it. (The whole video may be filled with spoilers for all I know... I just watched that small amount)
SPOILER ALERT:

Does this mean that they have plans? They don't have the rights yet, so if they have plans for a solo then they would have to make a deal with Universal. My bet is they have an alt script in case the deal doesn't work, but it should work out.

On top of that I found a year old interview where Lou Ferrigno says that they were planning on doing another Hulk solo sometime after Avengers 2.
[YT]EP-bJVFP8uQ#t=225[/YT]
Again, this further confirms that they probably have plans, and have been planning this. What is their plan? Who knows! But I am now about '95%' sure that Hulk will have a lot more coming. (Not sure % wise, 95 was a Sneider pun :p)
My guess is they couldn't reveal it because they don't know 100% sure that they will be able to work a deal with Universal. (Similar to their spidey plans that they already had planned out before announcing Phase 3) They probably will release when the movie will come out when they work a deal out. Otherwise they have plans for after Phase 3.
As far as I am aware Mark has anywhere from 3-5 more films he can be in. Assuming he will be in both Infinity wars, and that Hulk will not be in Civil War as I have theorized, (based on the comics, and the fact that Hulk is too OP for CW) hes till has anywhere from 1-3 more films after that. This means at least one solo is very possible. Honestly, I think they will try to work in a solo for 2017 or early 2018, that way they can fit him into the Infinity Wars.
Spoiler for AoU:
From the way the reporter asked the question to Mark, I now know that Hulk did indeed run away after AoU, so I have no doubt that he will not be in CW. I also think to bring him back in IW's they should show a story of some sort to bring him back. Unless he ends up being a villain working for Thanos as some sort of rage... but I doubt that.
