MTV News spoke with “Incredible Hulk” director Louis Leterrier about the return of Edward Norton and a sequel to the Incredible Hulk. Personally, I liked the reboot much better than the original. It wasn’t a HORRIBLE film. If what they are saying below they pull off, I think it could be a VERY good sequel.
MTV News has the story:
What would it would take to bring Norton back for another adventure as Bruce Banner.
“It depends,” Leterrier told MTV News. “It’s not a Marvel/Edward thing, it would be really be about, well… We told the story of the fugitive, what’s the next step in the story?”
“It can’t just be ‘Don’t make me angry, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry,'” he explained. “That would be a problem if you do the same thing over and over again. Edward’s never done the same movie twice, so I don’t think he would do that.”
So now that we know what won’t bring Norton back, what about the sort of movie that will see Norton returning to the Marvel movie-verse?
“If you find something interesting — yeah, I’m sure he would [be back],” said Leterrier. “He’s a fanboy. He’s as big a fanboy as you and me, maybe even more.”
However, Leterrier said he wasn’t exactly optimistic about getting the chance to make another “Hulk” movie — so a return in “Avengers” could be the next time we’ll see the character.
“The box office [for ‘Incredible Hulk’] was great, but it wasn’t so big that you had to make a sequel,” he said.
