"The Incredible Hulk" Sequel

Have to disagree @Ozymandias Edward Norton should return in both the Avengers and the Incredible Hulk 2

The Avenger's thread started on Norton's movie, not Bana's. It was RDJ that approached William Hurt's General Ross. It was Norton's Hulk! It would be really weird, and perhaps too confusing to swap the two Banners back and forth. I would suggest a new director. Leterrier did well, but the movie could've been way better. Ang Lee's was too moody and contemplative. TIH should have fast paced rythym, but not sacrifice drama either. The love triangle between Betty, Bruce, and Doc Samson was cut out. That would have set up more intrigue and foundations for other installments.

dont worry this will happen with Norton but i think it will be after the first Avengers

SHAKE N' BAKE

I think that the first half of the Avengers will be about a team forming up to stop the Hulk and he will be the antagonist and a hidden force (perhaps Braniac) is manipulating hulks path of destruction. The second half will be about Redemption, team work and fighting the true enemy.

I liked Incredible Hulk, but I don't see Norton returning in Avengers...I think that the whole experience for ONE movie was like pulling teeth. Some actors, no matter how great they are, are not into the whole franchise thing...Look at Ryan Gosling

norton will be in the avengers, he wont pass it up. but they will never make a hulk sequel. they will have too much other stuff on thier plate.

ya serious, i think u mean the leader, cuz brainiac is from dc comics. but ya, i hope they do a hulk sequel, and im sure they will. I didnt mind the original, and TIH was really great, but i wanna see more of every1s fave green behemoth onscreen!

woo hoo!

sighs. Just put Hulk in the Avengers Flick.

I dont care for Eric Bana, his acting to me is very stiff. Granted it was a boring movie but, he didnt do alot to get me excited in HULK. I really hope to see Edward Norton come back and reprise Banner. I loved the Incredible Hulk.

Who cares what BRUCE BANNER it is, he's back! Cool news about a new sequel anyway, yay!!!!

Atleast we're getting one lol! ; )

I personally like both movies!

By the way, ED's contracted to come back!

Damn cool HULK 3!!! I mean HULK 2! ; D

Supermike @ Pi$$ off and go and play will ya BRATZ dolls with your HULK Fists! : D

I hope they make one after the Avengers, but if not then they should at least stay true to the original Avengers line up and have the Hulk in there. As far as the changes in actors from Bana to Norton that was a contractual issue, Bana was contracted to Universal and Marvel would probably have had to buy him out of that contract, which made no sense when they were able to get a quality actor like Norton without getting into buying out contracts etc.

Norton wanted a longer running time, and marvel wanted to have the movie come in at 1 hour 45 mins. Marvel felt the first movie was too long for kids to relate to. They should also consider the adults like myself who go for long running times, providing the story is worth it.

I hope Norton comes back, I think he did a good job.

@marcolanni. Hypothetically, if your boss asked you to sign a 10 year contract that would consume all of your time, and force you to commit to a particular project at work without being able to work on anything else, find a new job, or leave the project if need be without breaching your contract resulting in legality and fees up the wahoo, would you do it?

Answer should be probably not. These actors need to think about themselves. A long term project with continuity would require serious commitment from a lot of busy people. And if the series flopped financially, then you have 50+ individuals (cast wise) that invested a few years of their lives that they can never get back, and in this business is something they can't afford.

It would be great to see the same people throughout the series, don't get me wrong, but I see it almost as in the comics, different artists and writers have different takes on characters. So should actors. You can't honestly tell me that Claremont Scott Summers is the same as original Scott Summers? It's a stretch but I feel we get more from our characters when different studios/actors try their hands at the roles.

Fact of the matter is, we just got spoiled with RDJ.

Ozymandias,
Chances are better than good that Hulk will be the antagonist for at least part of the movie. But really more like the cat's paw because in the story, Loki tricks the Hulk into attacking the newly formed Avengers, and then when they figure out what happened Hulk briefly teams up with them. So really it's Loki that is the antagonist.

Ang Lee's "HULK" is dope

DarthMulder, thanks for clarifying. I think I'll just mind my own business then...

DAMN.
