William Hurt Speaks On Rumors Of 'Red Hulk' Appearing In CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
After reiterating that he's playing a "different" version of General Ross, actor William Hurt is asked whether or not that version will be the monstrous Red Hulk. Check out his response after the jump!
When William Hurt spoke with The Wall Street Journal, the Academy Award-winning actor was asked about reprising his Incredible Hulk role as General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross in next year's Captain America: Civil War. More specifically, he was asked about rumors that we'll see his character become the Red Hulk. "It's very very different from [The Incredible Hulk], and the style is completely modernized," Hurt said of the character's return. "So, I'm not playing the graphic novel version of Thaddius Ross. I'm playing... a better suit." When asked about the Red Hulk, William Hurt grinned saying, "I don't know, I wouldn't mind feeling like I had that much power." He continued, "but I created Thaddeus originally as an ego the same size as the monsters. With the same degree of messed up-ness. Yeah, I'd love to have a shot at it(?)." What do you think?
Directed by Anthony & Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity.
