MTV recently caught up with Mark Ruffalo at the Gotham Awards, where they not only questioned when he'll be reading director Joss Whedon's rewrite of The Avengers script, but also if the Hulk would be the villain. While I'm sure you can guess his answer, check out the video below.



The Avengers is set to assemble May 4, 2012 in 3D starring Robert Downey Jr. Samuel l. Jackson, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, and Clark Gregg. And set construction of the SHIELD helicarrier is underway, with filming officially set for February.

I hope he isn't. Like I hope Hulk isn't just suddenly a bad guy and they decide to fight him...that sucks. Hulk should appear as a threat to the rest of the Avengers with Loki actually pulling the strings, then Hulk gets free of Loki and joins the Avengers.

He can personally [frick] off IF he has no part in the HULK TV series, thats the only way he'll win me over lol!

Seriously, he needs to be connected to it or bring back NORTON!

@leee its not his fault if Del Toro doesn't want him to be in the TV Series. Also, its not his fault things with Norton didnt work out. I am excited to see what he has to bring to the table.

Ryden@ i doubt he will just randomly show up as a bad guy, its likely something will spark his anger and he will go out of control more than usual. probably something caused by loki or even the skrulls in the background. that would be sick.

@ElBicho

"Joss" sounds so unnatural. Most people slip the "h" in there in just say "Josh".

@LEEE relax dude, you do realise that the tv show is happening after the avengers right?

and i am pretty sure the avengers are going to have some sort of confrontation with the hulk, maybe they go to get help from the hulk which leads to a battle because of some misunderstanding, i honestly believe that the villains should the masters of evil but i have no idea how that would work LOL

Um...no duh!!! In the original, Loki set the Hulk on a Rampage causing the Avengers to form...of course the Hulk will be a villain...at first anyway...

Nice find. I think Ruffalo will do a great job. I cannot wait to see what Whedon does with the script.

@Brashlight: Talk about a "butter face"!!

Hulk better start out as the villain but then when the Avengers meet the real threat to Earth's survival The Hulk becomes they're greatest ally and the key to defeating Loki or the mandarin or the Skrulls or whoever the bad guys turn out to be...and KICKS MAJOR ASS!!!!! HULK SMASH!! MOTHER F__KER!!!

AVENGERS WILL BE EPIC

@YsoSerious: No, actually your MOM sucks balls. And she's pretty good at it to..I wanted to pay her extra but she wouldn't have it... Oh, and she cooks pretty well too.

...c'mon, you set yourself up for that one!! :o

IF YOU WANNA DO A GOOD AVENGERS MOVIE, MAKE IT EPIC. THE HEROES INDIVIDUALLY ARE EPIC AND TAKE ON EPIC INDIVIDUAL ADVENTURES, AND THEIR MOVIES MAKE BIG MONEY. THE POINT IS TO MAKE AN ENEMY OR ENEMIES THAT ONE OF THEM CANNOT TACKLE ALONE AND WOULD GIVE THEM THE REASON TO WORK TOGETHER WITH OTHER SUPER POWERED HEROES TO STOP EVIL WETHER ITS A THEM OR HIM.ULTRON OR SKRULLS, A WORLDWIDE THREAT, SOMETHING LARGER THAN LIFE, MONUMENTAL. TRUE THE HULK WAGED A WAR ON THE WORLD AND DID SOME MAJOR DESTRUCTION, BUT HEY, ITS THE FIRST GO IN POSSIBLY MORE AND YOU GOTTA START WITH A TEAM FROM THE GET GO...NOW SAY THERES AN INSTANCE IN THE MOVIE, HULK GETS POSSESED, OR GOES BONKERS AND THE TEAM HAS TO CALM OR STOP HIM THEN, BUT NOT AN ENTIRE MOVIE. CMON, THIS IS A MOVIE FANS HAVE WANTED TO SEE FOR DECADES...GO GRAND OR DON'T, DON'T MISS THE OPPURTUNITY, THEIR GOING TO GIVE U MAJOR CASH TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, PUSH THE LIMITS.

Red Skull could comeback with Hydra from Captain America movie after its don? I would like to see him getting trapped inside the cosmic cube in Cap´s movie and then in The avengers he could get realized by the new members of Hydra! Then he could have those cosmic powers which make him stronger!:D
It would be cool to see him pulling the strings of Hulk too!:)

Loki is not bad either, but i think this movie needs something new!
Whedon is pretty original guy and if i remember right he said somewhere that he is going to make whole new plot or something!

The original version of the Avengers banding together was great in 1963 for a single issue origin story and it was great for its time. 47 years later it would be a crime and an insult to adapt that storyline for a major movie (Hulk working for a circus? Teen Brigade?). The Ultimates was created as a re-telling of the story to make it more palatable and believable for today's more demanding comic and movie audiences. While I understand they can't follow the comic completely I hope they use it as a basis for the movie.

WHAT IF THEYRE LEAVING US SECRETS IN EACH MARVEL FILM THAT LEADS US TO THE VILLAIN OF THE AVENGERS?

@Mrcool210 as cool as it would be to see thanos i dont think he should be introduced so early on, and as i remember it took a whole bunch of heroes to take down thanos even then they barely defeated him
soaponapope
soaponapope - 12/1/2010, 10:33 AM
well, that pretty much confirms hulk is the villain.

Indeed Jimdlux!
Finally someone who did his homework.. nice! (Y)
