Rumors have been going around that Iron Man will be making a cameo in the upcoming Hulk movie and vice versa. Today we have confirmation that this is the gospel truth! We get the skinny from AICN via the moviehole:
According to Aint it Cool News, Robert Downey Jnr will be making an appearance in “The Incredible Hulk”. It’s, of course, all part of a plan to tie the new “Hulk” and “Iron Man” movies together. Downey Jr’s Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) will reportedly feature in a scene opposite “Hulk” villain ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross (William Hurt).
I think it is fantastic that they are starting to weave the characters together like they often do in the comic books. The fans want this, and it is delightful that they are making it happen. This sets the stage perfectly for an Avengers film and according to the AICN article, it looks like Favreau is calling dibs on that as well. We will wait and see if the studios reward him with aforementioned “dibs”.
Iron Man and Helm are two films that have been getting very good buzz and with good reason. They have been doing everything right as far as marketing goes. Fans have been reassured time and time again with quality teasers, pics, news and interviews. I of course am super pumped because if an Avengers movie is made – we may see the Mighty Thor join Iron Man and Hulk in an Avengers movie. If Loki is the villain in that film, there is a good chance I will cry with delight for 30 years. I also want to see a Beta Ray Bill Cameo.
