I'd also be fine with him dying doing something heroically in Avengers 2, so that if he's gone for any future Avengers movie it's not because he doesn't feel like it or like the team.

 

[Arcam]

The Hulk is going to be such a popular character especially with younger audiences, I can't see them getting rid of him for Avengers 2 or 3.
After the first 3 Avengers movies are finished, then maybe they'll have a change.

 

[chiefchirpa]

I keep thinking that Hulk is gonna get Teleported some where into space by Loki for some reason. What if he poped up in Guardians of the Galaxy.

John Carter of the Hulk? Planet Hulk without having other heroes (including Iron Man) as "villains"?

I think that's a good premise for the next Hulk movie and they could introduce GOTG characters like Rocket Raccoon and StarLord there.

 

[Smashlilman]

I can see them creating a Planet Hulk scenario for movie Hulk but it would never evolve into a World War Hulk situation since the motivators aren't present.

 

[Praxis222]

Plus with the whole Hulk tv series being developed, popularity would keep him in the public consciousness.
And if the series does end up being connected to the MCU, it could, even though it's set prior to the events of "TIH", potentially generate some interesting story possibilities that might be worth expanding on in the movies. Sort of like how Captain America can now tell cohabitating stories set both in the past and present.

 

[Smashlilman]

Hell they could make a Captain America Tv series set during the 3 years of World War 2.

 

[liveman789]

Yeah, Hulk has his tv show. If anyone should be worried about getting a sequel, it's Captain America. Iron Man is getting a trilogy, and Thor probably will too with his huge box office success. Cap is just harder to do I feel being that they set his time as Captain America in the 40's in too short of a time span.

I also feel like his popularity will be overshadowed in this movie by the 3 more powerful superheroes.

 

[BigThor]

I just feel Like Hulk is the most overall popular character on the Avengers

Really now?

The performance of his solo films sure as hell didn't reflect him being the most popular character, I think that honor belongs to Iron Man.

I don't think Cap's poplularity is going to be overshadowed just because IM, Hulk, and Thor are more powerful, if anything the GA has shown us that low-powered characters are usually the most popular (Spider-Man, Batman etc.)

 

[Smashlilman]

Hulk as a character is popular. His films just happen to be sub par. Kind of like how Superman is popular but His movie was also garbage.

 

[BigThor]

I just don't think he's as popular as alot of people think he is, both of his films were serviceable and they were both better than X3 and XO:Wolverine which made far more than either of them.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Hulk's probably not the most popular character in the film, but most definitely the most Iconic.

 

[The Morningstar]

It the long term, yea. Marvels most well known characters of all time are Spidey, Hulk and Wolverine.

But thanks to the movies Iron Man is right up there, Thor and Cap are getting there.

 

[BigThor]

Thor is easily the least popular of the main four, I mean seriously if you go on youtube or The Avengers facebook page hardly any of the comments are about Thor.

You'd think a guy with an interesting mythology and a power set as cool as his would be alot more popular.

 

[The Morningstar]

I'm sure after this movie they will all be more popular.

The marketing is showing more money shots of Stark, but I think that's clever. It draws the audience in for Iron Man, but then in the actual movie i'm sure they plan on blowing the audience away with the other characters.

Yep; and I'm still glad to this day that Whedon and Downey realized that a film like this wouldn't have worked if they focused everything around Tony's character as well.

I didn't want Iron Man, or any other character, to get the kind of emphasis that Wolverine has gotten in his X-Men films, where everyone else just feels like background or supporting characters at times.

Don't you think other characters also having money shots would make the film look even cooler to the GA?

 

[The Morningstar]

It'd be stupid of Marvel to not give the big 4 equal moments of greatness anyway. You make them impressive because of their sequels. Hulk for example, I bet Marvel are banking on him to be really popular in this movie, so they could maybe try another solo film.

 

[The Morningstar]

In the film of course.

But for the trailer they know Iron Man is the most popular, so they are showing some of his best bits from the movie. They seem to be holding back with the others, Cap and Thor especially. There is so much stuff we haven't seen yet. It's not like one of those trailers that has all the best bits in it, so it loses the impact when you finally see the film.

That said the trailer is well structured, the way it starts with the introduction of the characters. Cap in the gym, Banner in that shack. Thor talking to SHIELD. Then Stark flying up to his penthouse. Cool little character moments to open the trailer. See even though it is "Transformer-ish" with the action and spectacle, it already seems more character driven.

I do think Hulk is going to be very popular in this film, some people are even acting as if he's this new character that doesn't already have two solo films.

In the film of course.

Yeah I'm starting to be at ease with the fact that IM has the money shots in the trailers, but from an audience member's stand point I would get more excited from a trailer that has multiple people doing cool things instead of just one.

 

[Herolee10]

Well I definitely can't wait to see when we get character tv spots, since I'm sure we'll have a tv spot made focusing on each member of the group.

 

[The Morningstar]

There is plenty of cool things for the others. There is a few bad ass shots of Thor. I love the part where he lands on the jet, with the score as well it makes it sick. And when he seems to be in the mountains or is he flying there? Also when he's on the skyscraper.

Cap jumping off that exploding bus in the SB spot. Sky diving shield first, which is awesome.

Remember we've still gotta see that Cap and Thor fight where they are back to back. Hulk vs Thor.

I'm excited to see what they've held back for Loki too. In the first trailer he has a couple of sick scenes.

 

[BigThor]

^^^ Yeah those scenes are cool no doubt, but nothing to really get the audience excited for those respect characters.

Well I definitely can't wait to see when we get character tv spots, since I'm sure we'll have a tv spot made focusing on each member of the group.

Which is going to be freakin' awesome, I know The Avengers are a team but they deserve a little individual love every once in awhile.

 

[Kirmit]

Hulk most definitely isn't the most popular Avenger in the MCU, he is however getting the most buzz in general. The reason for this could be multiple things, maybe people think Marvel are finally getting the character right, that he'll show he's the strongest there is, that's how I feel even speaking as someone who loved his previous two outings.

Well based on the reports that we've gotten from those that have seen rough cuts of it, it seems like Marvel has gotten the Hulk right this time around in terms of both looks and characterization.

Speaking of which, anyone else find it amusing that so far, we have confirmed shots where the two powerhouses of the team, Thor and Hulk, are shown make some dramatic saves for their respective teammates (Hulk saves Iron Man Mid air and Thor saves Captain America from being overwhelmed by the alien forces)

Thor saving Captain America just doesn't seem as epic as Hulk saving Iron Man for some reason, I guess it's because all we've seen from that scene is Thor helping Cap up.

Hasn't he already shown he's the strongest there is in his previous films?
