Only time will tell. I do hope there’s some focus on the whole tortured loner aspect of Bruce Banners existence. The idea of a haunted and hunted man trying to save himself from himself appeals to me on a gut level.
I found the last Hulk offering to be too cartoony, maybe this one will wash the bad taste out of my mouth.
"Cartoony" in terms of "he can jump five miles," yes. But my biggest problem with the movie was how unbelievably humorless and pretentious and overtly-artsy it was. I can see Ang Lee in the production room now: "I have clear vision of Hulk movie. It like ancient Chinese haiku. Big green pretty bird fly. Anger is his beauty. He fall from space like spiritual existence."
Appears Marvel has got an impressive list of movies in the works, including a bunch of tie ins within the movies. Info from the efluxmedia website:
After the film opened strong in the weekend, occupying the first place in the Weekend BoxOffice Mojo top, with $100,750,000 in ticket sales, it’s no wonder Marvel Entertainment announced it was planning an "Iron Man" sequel that would be released on April 30, 2010.
In its earnings report Monday morning the company revealed its film release plans for the next three years, Reuters informs.
Apparently, four other movies based on Marvel superheroes are due to be released: "Thor," which will open June 4, 2010; "The First Avenger: Captain America," May 6, 2011; "The Avengers," July 2011; and "Ant-Man," of which the release date has not yet been communicated.
According to the Associated Press, Downey’s character, Stark, will also make an appearance in "The Incredible Hulk," which is due to come out June 13 from Universal Studios.
What's amazing is that the Avengers movie will have all four characters together(Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor).
