Quick update on the situation regarding the new Hulk movie. As we already talked about a few weeks ago, the next Hulk film will NOT be a sequel. It’s a total re-start that pretends the Ang Lee version doesn’t exist. Fair enough… but I was hoping for a sequel myself.
The good folks over at Cinescape give us the following:
Universal isn’t really doing it. It’s going to be done through Marvel (independently, or close too) and it’s called “Incredible Hulk”. Bana is definitely not doing it – his contract was with Universal, and so on – so they’re going to get a new Hulk. They’re not going to be auditioning, but merely ‘going out’ to names. Should’ve guessed. Apparently the following guys could be either in consideration or in talks for the role : Dominic Purcell, Brendan Fraser, Adam Garcia.
You know what… I totally know I’m going to be in the minority here… but I actually like the idea of Brendan Fraser in this thing. I think just as a pure actor he’s often underrated (go see him in “With Honors“).
They’ve already said Incredible Hulk will be more of a “HULK SMASH” film than the last one was, and even though I loved the first one, that news excites me! I think most people are happy about that.
