Thanks to an official release from Marvel, we now know that the Hulk will not be the villain in the upcoming Avengers film. We get the following blurb via IESB:
THE AVENGERS will bring together the super hero team of Marvel Comics characters for the first time ever, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk and more, as they are forced to band together to battle the biggest foe they’ve ever faced.
Well, the above quote does pretty much dash all hope of the Hulk being the villain in the Avengers film, and that is fine with me. I wasn’t opposed to the idea – but would prefer to see the Hulk as an enemy in an Avengers sequel. In the first film I would much prefer the team be introduced and face a common foe worthy of their combined strength.
I know some of you were hoping for the Hulk to be the villain. International friends – does this news excite or disappoint you?
