Marvel suit Kevin Feige spilled his guts about the Hulk with MTV News, and we ipck up the following quote from that interview thanks to our friends at cinematical:
“Now we have a Hulk that we can be proud of and that is a better match and fits more with the tone of what had been in our comics and what we want him to be in our films going forward.” Just because there isn’t talk of a Hulk 2 doesn’t mean the character is going away — he’s just taking a backseat. “The truth is that Hulk has had two films in the past five years, and it’s time to give some of the other guys a turn. But certainly what we are doing is suggesting and cross-pollinating the characters between films, and like reading a comic, I’d like to set that expectation that anything can happen – and anyone can pop up – in anybody else’s story. I would expect that people may see the Hulk again soon before he is again carrying his own film.”
Ok so we can expect another Hulk film, but we probably will not see it until the new Avengers film comes out. That suits me just fine, I would like to see everyone else’s story unfold before we return to a Hulk sequel. With luck all the films leading up to the Avengers film will be quality; and the Avengers will be excellent. Marvels strategy of tying everything together really depends on strong parts coming together in a glorious crescendo. If anything comes up short, I think the Avengers film will suffer for it.
In the next Hulk film, I would like to see even more smashing and throwing. I liked the action in the last film, but was very disappointed in the finale of the final fight scene. All the air was let out of the tires for me near the end of the film and really left a sour taste in my mouth. Overall though, I liked the Hulk and look forward to a second installment. The first film had the feel of a chase movie for most of it, and I’m wondering if they’ll continue with this feel in the sequel.
I am guessing the Avengers will have a lot to do with how the story of Hulk progresses, so now we wait and see.
