Tim Roth Ready for More Marvel...

[VenomVsSpidey]

Amidst the excitement of certain A-list actors — Robert Downey Jr.and Samuel L. Jackson — possibly appearing in The Avengers movie together, it’s easy to forget that Academy Award-nominee Tim Roth is also hanging around the Marvel movie universe.

Roth, of course, played the villain Emil Blonsky in 2008’s Incredible Hulk. Despite ultimately getting his Abominable behind whipped by the Green Goliath, the character could conceivably return to cause more trouble for Bruce Banner/Hulk. The question is, besides an Incredible sequel (which might happen, even if Incredible Hulk only grossed about $260 million worldwide), could we potentially see Blonsky appear in such films as the upcoming Avengers or Thor?

In a recent interview with MTV, Roth said he’s signed on for two more films, but doesn’t know where that deal will ultimately lead. However, he pointed out that Incredible Hulk definitely ties into Iron Man, and that those films and Marvel’s upcoming slate appear to be configuring certain characters for a larger purpose, in which he’d definitely like to be involved.

"What they’re doing now is ... putting these characters together in different ways," Roth said. "With the Sam Jackson thing, and having [Robert Downey Jr.] come in at the end of 'Incredible Hulk' was the first clue to that—and I don’t know if they want to bring [Blonsky] back, but I told them I’m absolutely game for it. It would be so much fun to do it again. I’m in it for three."

"I did [Incredible Hulk] purely for my kids, so my boys can laugh at their dad and have fun with it," he said. "What’s been really interesting [about recent superhero movies] is, they're taking these heavy-weight actors and turning them into these characters, and populating a very bizarre world. They’re brilliant, but they also entertain the kids, and I think it’s a very smart move ... yet you’re still running around like a kid in them."

It sure sounds like Roth has nothing but love for Marvel Comics-based films, but what do you think about bringing super-soldier Emil Blonsky/Abomination back in Thor or The Avengers? Or is one appearance enough for the English thesp?

Roth is a great actor, I'd love to see him involved again. It'll probably be in Avengers rather than a TIH sequel.

 

[Bruce Banner]

I'm guessing he would have to be scheduled around his time away from Lie To Me.

He is a great actor to watch. I recently re watched The Legend of 1900 and Youth Without Youth. The former was my personal favorite.

It will be cool to see Bloncky return in what I'm not sure but to continue to hint at showing that the world they are in is bigger and more connected than meets the eye. But without making it just seem like it was thrown in there for the sake of doing so.

My only question would be if they change him up from his comic counterpart and change him back into human form?

I agree. not only because TIH's sequel looks bleak, but I think it'd be better to put him in the avengers.

I think they might put him into human form, and he'll try to find a way become abomination again if they put him back in

Well I think they should make Tim Roth pretty freaky looking if thats the case. Because When He turned into abomb he lost all his hair. I think if returned to normal human size he should be bald but not fully human looking. With a body transformation like his he shouldn't go back to completely normal Blonsky but see enough to know its Roth.

I'm thinking of this because
Its like when Bill Bixby had a beard in Trial of the Incredible Hulk. Banner hulked out and the beard was gone. He changed back and it was there again I was like WTH?

How old is Tim Roth? I think he's a great actor but he lost his breath quick during the running scenes in TIH (behind the scenes DVD)

 

[Ace of Knaves]

He's gotta be pushing 50

 

[Bruce Banner]

He's 48. I think he like Downey are still smokers. Either way I'd be happy just to move a little quick when I get older.

 

[YoungE808]

I wonder if they signed him for three movies hoping that the movie would be more successful (over 100mil profit is great!) or if they actually know what they are doing.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Roth gave us our first look at Captain America!

Hell YES I want him back!

 

[Bruce Banner]

Roth gave us our first look at Captain America!

Hell YES I want him back!

But he is also Mr. Orange and Pumpkin for that matter

 

[YoungE808]

I also want him back, but in as logical a way as possible. Concerning your sig Aesop, I am concerned with how close the release dates are for Thor and Spider-Man 4.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Young, Thor and Captain America own the 2011 summer.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

If the rumours about Spidey4 are true, it's gonna be absolutely ****e.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

it's about as true as

Spoiler

Aunt May Becoming CARNAGE!!!1111

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Oh so the Vulture and Vultress thing was debunked? Thank jeebus for that.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

Oh so the Vulture and Vultress thing was debunked? Thank jeebus for that.

It hasn't been debunked nor proven. But it all sounds about as true as raimi killing off MJ rumor was..

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Either way, it's going to be a long haul back to Spider-Man 2's glory. I know I for one won't see the new Spider-Man movie. My Spider-Man ended at 2.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

well, I guess that sucks for you. I'll be at it's midnight opening myself.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Come on, do you HONESTLY expect 4 to make up for three??

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

well, I liked SM3, so...there's no need for raimi to make anything up to me. and it's not even like anyone could think it was THAT bad.

 

[night0205]

I hope Raimi can learn from his mistakes.

...wait a minute. When did we start talking about Spider-man?

 

[Judson Caspian]

It feels blunted that TIH2 might not happen until 2013. At best.

 

[YoungE808]

Agreed. I'm just saying I hope Spider-Man 4 doesn't interfere with sales for Thor. I asked my cousins, who are casual moviegoers, if they knew who Thor was and they did not O_O.
