Amph "You're making me angry." - The Incredible Hulk

Spiderfan · Jul 26, 2008

It worked out for Batman and Wolverine. Granted Cap is a little different, but Barrowman, as its been stated, spent much time living in America and is quite good at playing an American, so honestly I don' see the difference. Mind you this is just a rumour that grew out of someone asking him about the role to which he responded that there had been talks with his agent. But I still think it would be an interesting choice of actor.

So, the DVD's out. there's not much to the altermate opening (and I don't quite understand the scene- my only guess in retrospect is maybe he was trying to kill himself? but he was aiming it somewhere else) and the Captain America cameo is more of an easter egg, and you can barely see anything- there's like 2 frames where you can kinda see Cap during the avalanche, but it's easier seeing Jesus on a piece of stained toast.

A good amount of deleted scenes, though. Mostly the subplot with the boyfriend, which has 4 or 5 scenes plus one from the end of the movie when he calls her in New York. There's also a couple scenes fleshing out the General's second in command and an alternate version of the "you will never speak to me as your daughter again" scene (it take place outside the helicopter instead of outside the college lab). Also an extended version of the scene where Betty gives him the saved data stick- we see the discusison preceeding it and following it- more talk about Mr Blue and his anarchy-like beliefs as well as mention of an ethics investigation.

There is a scene with the General that fleshes him out quite that I wish ahd stayed in (where he comapres what he's doing to those who first mastered fire instead of fearing it), as well as another with the black military officer who comments that Blonsky's performance before he got taken down by the Hulk on the campus reminded him of something he'd heard of before- something they'd "like to forget".

Also, I totally didn't get the Stanley/Stan Lee connection until now- I wonder if Stan was origianlly supposed to play that role instead of the soda pop victim? The actor playing Stanley certainly looks kinda like him.

Bruce Banner was trying to kill himself but the Hulk wouldn't let him. It all goes back to the idea that Bruce hates the Hulk and vice versa.

I'm sorry that Norton disagrees, but I think the film is better off without just about every one of the deleted scenes. They extended the story without really enhancing it.

The extra scenes with side characters were overkill. Betty's boyfriend is almost exactly the same character with the deleted scenes as without. Keeping those scenes in would just make that section of the film drag on too long.

I thought Ross's philosophizing was pretentious and dull. Nor did I particularly care for the extended dialogue before the campus fight with Bruce doing his best Ian Malcolm impersonation.

The scenes aren't particularly BAD (okay, a few have some clunky delivery), they just seem unnecessary. Part of me wishes the pizza delivery scenes were left in, but the film's fine without them. I'd be interested in seeing a cut of the film with all the deleted scenes edited back in, just to see if it hurts the pace of the film as much as I think it would.

This film was my favorite movie of the entire summer (Yes, I liked it more than Iron Man or The Dark Knight). Leterrier (and/or his editors) did a fantastic job of trimming the fat from a film that could've ended up as a poorly paced and pretentious mess. Nothing substantial was lost in any of the cuts, and the gain in terms of an improved momentum is immense.

Aside from the tag at the end with Tony Stark, The Incredible Hulk is the first comic book movie since Tim Burton's Batman to leave me wanting to rewatch the film more than wanting to see the sequel. It's a complete film, with a beginning, middle, and end. And in this day of super-franchises, that's INCREDIBLE.

The2ndQuest · Oct 23, 2008

I think the boyfriend subplot enhances Betty's character, though. It builds up to that epilogue conversation which i think gives her more of a character arc, and also gives Betty and Banner more time together before she runs off with him. They don't need to put all of the boyfriend's scenes back in, but they probably should have kept one or two- as it's very noticable and almost distracting how he sort of just dissapears.

I could have done without the pizza stuff- the sorority girls one dragged on too long and the reuse of "you wouldn't like me when i'm angry" was a bit forced and diminishes the superior "nungry" joke earlier in the film. Plus the really weird guy he gives the last pizza to should have been dropped entirely- I'm perplexed why they even kept that one shot of him in the final movie, as that always felt weird to me.

Also, keep in mind we're probably no seeing all of the deleted scenes here- reports were there was much more cut and only some was on this DVD, so perhaps "Norton's cut" isn't fully represented here.

Joe Russo Confirms There's "No Red Hulk" In "Captain America: Civil War"

Hulk and Thor remain the only A-list Avengers not in the film, so some have speculated that "Civil War" would feel the presence of a Hulk by taking General Ross down a path similar to that of his comic book counterpart. During a lengthy interview from a recent international press tour, directors Joe and Anthony Russo discussed many aspects of "Civil War," revealing more about Hurt's antagonist.

Joe Russo weighed in on the rumors swirling around Ross' possible transformation into the Red Hulk in the film, giving a definitive statement. “There’s always a chance at Marvel that you can see anything," said Joe Russo with a smile. "But there, uh, let's say -- there is no Red Hulk in ‘Civil War.'”

The wording could leave a little wiggle room for surprise, as "no Red Hulk" does not preclude the arrival of any other color Hulk. But taking the quote at face value, there will be no Red Hulk in the film. But just because General Ross might not get any new superpowers, he'll still be a threat.

“General Ross has a big presence in 'Civil War,'" said Joe Russo. "He’s a character who was ham-fisted in his approach in ‘The Incredible Hulk' -- and that’s probably a polite way to put it. And I think he’s learned from his over-aggressiveness in that movie and he’s become more of a politician. He’s much savvier now, and he’s cornering the Avengers. Superheroes have always been anathema to him. He’s not a fan of them, and so now he’s come at them strategically by aligning the world against them and cornering them. So, he’s gotten much savvier and I think you’ll find that he’s grown as a character. He’s different than he was in ‘The Incredible Hulk' and he’s a more formidable and political opponent to them.”

Rulk only works if you do a full on Hulk movie and that's apparently tied up with Universal. It'd be real hard to shoehorn in Rulk into a Captain America or Avengers flick.

Anyway, if you're going to go alternate Hulk for movies and working him into Avengers flicks, I think there's enough wiggle room for an Avengers baddie to go Full on Maestro / Future Imperfect. I think that would rock.

ClevverMovies: Hulk Getting Solo Movie...Sort Of (POTENTIAL SPOILERS)

Transcript of the video for the YouTube impaired:

Mark Ruffalo shares some new details about what’s in store for Hulk and we’ve got the details right now on Clevver Newsfeed.

We may have to wait a little longer for a Hulk solo movie, but Mark Ruffalo doesn’t seem too concerned. Fans have been clamoring for another Hulk solo movie ever since Mark Ruffalo debuted a more lighthearted version of the character in 2012’s The Avengers. Since then it’s been revealed that the solo rights are not currently in the hands of new owner Disney meaning we probably won’t be seeing a Hulk movie anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be getting a lot more Hulk in the future.

In a recent interview with Yahoo, Ruffalo explained quote, “I’d love to do a Hulk movie, but that’s beyond my control. It’s controlled by Universal. Marvel doesn’t even hold the rights to it. So, it’s not on the horizon and I don’t know if it will be, but we’ve worked a really interesting arc into Thor 3, Avengers 3 and 4 for Banner that I think will – when it’s all added up – will feel like a Hulk movie, a standalone movie.” So it may not be the solo Hulk movie fans were hoping for, but at least we will be getting a lot more Hulk in the coming years.

As for what that story arc could be, it has long been rumored that we’ll get the fan favorite “Planet Hulk” storyline from the comics and while Marvel has repeatedly denied they were doing a Planet Hulk movie, a recent rumor suggests we could see the plot play out in next year’s Thor: Ragnarok. While this should be considered rumor for now, we are issuing a spoiler warning just in case.

Okay, so according to Geek.com, the plot will consist of Thor’s hammer being destroyed and Thor himself being banished from Asgard to a distant planet where he is forced to fight in a gladiator style arena. It is here where he reunites with Hulk, who is the current champion that he must fight. From there the two join forces to find a way back to Asgard in order for Thor to reclaim the throne from Loki in what is being described by Ruffalo as a Midnight Run style road trip movie.

Again, this should be taken as rumor, but if this does end up being the plot of Thor 3, don’t expect it to be as dark and heavy as it sounds. Director Taika Waititi will be handling helming duties as well as contributing his brand of humor to the script. In an interview with Collider, Waititi talked about the humor of the film saying quote, “I love that one moment in Avengers when Hulk grabs Loki and rag dolls him. It lends itself to great humor…They’re wacky. They’re crazy. I think that‘s exactly what they need, to keep changing it up. They’ve got their dark films, some are more serious, and I think it’s great that they’re mixing it up. I really want to inject my style of humor into this.”

As for Ruffalo, he seems excited to work with Waititi on the new Thor film telling Yahoo that his hiring continues Marvel constantly surprising people with their castings and writer and director choices.

Production on Thor: Ragnarok is expected to begin this summer in Australia for a November 3rd, 2017 release with the two part Avengers Infinity War set to arrive in theaters the following May. So who out there is looking forward to seeing Hulk’s new story arc played out over three films? Head down to the comments and let us know your thoughts and then click here to find out what we want to see happen in Thor 3. I’m Erin Robinson, thanks for watching and we’ll see you soon with more movie news.
