The Avengers The Official 'Hulk in Avengers' thread. - Part 2

I'm surprised that we haven't been able to spot photos of Mark in his Motion Gear outfit (for his Hulk scenes) as of yet on set.

I think that more to do with Bana, he was quite dull.

I think they're both at fault, it's a collaboration. Bana was playing up the suppressed emotional angle (with encouragement from Ang Lee) so in effect he was supposed to be dull. However, as the "love interest" it's Jennifer's duty to make their relationship feel somewhat real. Let's face it, in most situations, who's going to be more emotional anyway, the man or the woman?

But aside from the transformation back to Banner after the San Francisco rampage, I didn't feel any sparks between these two that would insinuate some type of loving relationship

Friday during Chicago Comicon I went to an intimate Q&A session with Lou Ferrigno. I knew he was voicing the Hulk in the new Avengers movie, and I wanted to know how big of a role the Hulk would have in the new movie. Here’s what he said: “I think the Hulk is going to have a major role, and I think that role will spinoff into the television series. The executive producer for Thor and The Avengers is the same producer for the Hulk television series, and that isn’t a coincidence”.

Veeeerry interesting.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Nice. Good confirmation that Lou is actually voicing hulk.

 

[The Caped Knight]

So Lou is going to voice Hulk in the tv series as well that's awesome .

 

[Herolee10]

lol; maybe Marvel Studios wants to continue the Hulk Franchise that they started in the MCU in the form of Television Series instead of giving it a cinematic sequel?

 

[Marvel Spider]

Del Toro said recently that the show won't be connected to the film universe.

 

[VoodooMagic]

I really wish Del Toro would just make a Hulk movie.

Hulk really needs a director with a confident vision.

 

[TheVileOne]

OK, if Ruffalo is being brought in to play the Hulk, do facial motion capture and physical motion capture . . . why isn't he just voicing the character as well?

I get the attachment and love for Lou Ferrigno and all, but I mean dude hasn't been the only one to voice and play the Hulk.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Well people do tend to complain about continuity.

 

[TheVileOne]

OK, but that's sort of already going out the window. We have yet another actor playing Hulk/Banner again. Hulk is being redesigned to even look more like Ruffalo. So why do that instead of re-using the older models? Why not just let him voice Hulk as well? It seems a little weird that they will redo the Hulk to have him be based off of and resemble Ruffalo but he can't voice the character.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

It doesn't really matter given the voice of the Hulk will probably be enhanced through sound effects to be unrecognisable from the original voice of the voice actor. The most important here is that he has a prominent speaking role.

 

[November Rain]

lou's been voicing the hulk since....forever....

his best days were back in the incredible hulk tas though

 

[Ahura Mazda]

I know but I honestly do not think they will be using th natural voice of any acor. rather they will take it and then modify it to enhance it.

 

[November Rain]

they enhanced his voice back in the day as well i believe

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I honestly don't care who voices hulk, as long as it sounds like Hulk I'm fine.

 

[Dark Raven]

It seems inconceivable that Ruffalo won't be voicing the Hulk since he's doing everything else, particularly the performance side of things. If he puts certain emotion into a scene, then if Lou overdubs this, will he be able to match that emotion or the subtle nuances? Lou isn't exactly known for his acting skills. Ruffalo's voice can easily be changed with technology to sound Hulk like. I can't see the need at all for Lou to step in, apart from the nostalgia factor. But that would be like getting Henry Cavill for Superman, and then overdubbing his voice with Christopher Reeve (if he were still alive and well) just because Reeve is so associated with the character.

I know that Lou was previously rumoured to be up for the voice part, but is he mistaken, or has he actually confirmed that he is indeed voicing Hulk? Look at what the quote says:

Friday during Chicago Comicon I went to an intimate Q&A session with Lou Ferrigno. I [the interviewer] knew he was voicing the Hulk in the new Avengers movie, and I wanted to know how big of a role the Hulk would have in the new movie.

The interviewer says "I knew he was voicing the Hulk", but is this an assumption on his part, based on a previous rumour or old facts?

Lou doesn't say specifically he is voicing the Hulk:

Here’s what he [Lou] said: “I think the Hulk is going to have a major role, and I think that role will spinoff into the television series. The executive producer for Thor and The Avengers is the same producer for the Hulk television series, and that isn’t a coincidence”.

Lou only addresses the question of how big a role Hulk will have in the movie. Did the interviewer even ask Lou about whether he's voicing the character, or did he make an assumption and not bother to ask, and then wrote his assumption into his article as if it were fact?

Or maybe Lou still thinks he's voicing Hulk, just because he was told that at the beginning before Ruffalo was even onboard or they decided to create the Hulk via this method. Or maybe Lou thinks he's doing the voice just because he's done it every other time, and naturally assumes it will still be the case.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Maybe he's associated with the new TV series.

 

[November Rain]

Well it won't particularly matter what voice they give him if they only allocate a few lines to him.

he should get at least 2 minutes of complete dialogue in the film as a total. THat's as hulk, not even banner.

Nice find!

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

Lou does quite a good Hulk voice so it would be cool if he is actually doing it....I just hope that its for more than 2 lines.

 

[Gamma Ra]

This news sounds erroneous because it's conflicting with what's been said by Del Toro. Unless Lou means he's voicing Hulk in the television show...I can see that.

 

[wobbly]

Personally, I think enough with throwing Ferrigno a job every time the Hulk is being done. They don't go handing Adam West a bone every time Batman is being done, why this daft sense of duty to a guy with limited acting skills who has more than had his turn?

Give me a good voice actor any day of the week, and break away from that bloody old TV show once and for all.

 

[Obi-Ron]

Adam West won't rip your arms from their sockets when he loses - Lou Ferrigno has been known to do that.
