Louis Leterrier Discusses Hulk's Involvment in The Avengers

hmm so I wonder when we'll know who Emo-cap will be played by?

I'm glad Hulk isn;t the villain, that's just a stupid idea and it would make Hulk one dimensional. As Louis said, Hulk is a complex character.

Have Loki as the villain, have him control Hulk to prompt the Avengers together and then Hulk joins them to stop an Asgardian invasion.

"a gung-ho super-soldier who starts doubting himself and his system"

I sure hope they don't go for the moody anti-hero angle with him. That is not Cap! He's an optimist!

Great CBM article, it should be up in main instead of the stupid Leno and Conan piece.

HULK don't need LOKI, he loses it all by himself lol, though LOKI would be cool! : P

Can't believe i have to wait 2 more years for this to happen shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt!!!!!!!!!!!!

good find MF!

Leterrier has made it clear he wants to direct the Avengers. Since all the solo movies are building towards the team up, Hulk controlled by Loki is going to be what pulls these heroes together, imo. It seems pretty clear to me that is the direction they are heading

I hear ya grif. Ultron is the way to go. With Vision. Make Vision likeable then kill him off with Ultron. That'd be cool.

Cool. Except for the Cap part that's all cool.

Great stuff, again MF!

Emo-brigade (opps I mean Avengers) assemble!

nickfury @ The ULTIMATES animated movie was complete sh1T!

The Incredible Hulk was amazing and it gave the gitty fan boy chills that i got when i saw Spider-Man 2 when Harry found the Green Goblin lair. the same thing happened when Tony Stark appeared. this is what comic book movies should be all about. cliffhangers of crossing over to other stories or putting heroes together. since their rebooting Spider-Man they should have him try to join up with the Fantastic 4 since i heard their doing a reboot of them as well.

LEEE, Some Hulk-Buster action would be EPIC!

Ryden, If they go with the original story of the formation of the Avengers, it came about with Hulk seemingly the villain, but it turned out to be Loki manipulating him. Letterier's reference is to Avengers #1. This happened before Cap joined the team in issue #4, but for all purposes, I sincerely hope that is the route they take of sorts. Having Loki as the villain for both Thor and Avengers flics though would be redundant, so something would have to amp up, otherwise I'd like to see a straight from the pages adaptation, which would make Hulk a... psuedo-villain? for a portion of the film.

Grif and Tobuttica, I disagree... for a first film. However, I can't think of a better sequel than Ultron and Vision.

Nicholsy, Including Abomination might just be that 'amp up' I referred to in responding to Ryden, though I think it would be extremely naive of Ross to tap Blonsky a second time around. Instead, maybe Loki manipulates Blonsky and the sighting's are misinterpreted as being the Hulk, causing SHIELD and friends to track down Banner, Epic fight with Hulk ensues before some realization is met and we move to a climax... in a nutshell.

Pym, I hope so. It won't be Avengers without them... you, lol

Seems like he really does want to direct The Avengers..

i want to see TIH 2 bring on the leader!!

Since we're getting Loki in Thor I really hope they don't use him in Avengers. Same goes for Abomination. I don't want to see villians reused and abused like Magneto was.

For the time being I'm more concerned about Thor and Cap doing well. If either of those are bombs we might not get an Avengers movie. Creating a single film universe is very ambitious and could be awesome. Outside of the Viewaskewniverse I can't think of another example.
