Arc of THE INCREDIBLE HULK - Why we won't get a Hulk sequel?

Mark Ruffalo's shorter than Liv Tyler. That's why.

They could do an Planet Hulk movie in Phase 4 and it would fit perfectly if we had him return to earth in Avengers 4: The Infinity Gauntlet part 1 (It should be divided in two parts at least) and fight Thanos and his army during th final battle in Part 2. The Planet Hulk movie would have a lot more banner in it to show how Banner reacts to Hulk being an actual person.

Ummm.....no, we don't all know that Thanos will have all the infinity stones in Avengers 3.

The Hulk could do a great movie if only he has villains that are a legitimate threat. I think if they introduce the Leader and Absorbing Man they could put on a good show. But Hulk vs. the military is not a match. What made Iron Man so good in all of his outings was the fact that he actually faced a threat and faught people or robots on his level. We need to see the Hulk face a challenge that he cant just "SMASH". The most fulfilling parts in the Avengers was when he faught Thor. Thor was shown to be on his level in strength. As opposed to Hulk smashing Gamma puppies and (face palm ) Nick Nolte. Hulk has a rogue gallery of characters that would make good villains. They also need to give Hulk a reason for fighting or hunting them.

Its a shame ED NORTON was the very best!

@feedonatreefrog: It's bad business because the first two didn't do so well because casual movie goers weren't all that into the solo films. I didn't say one can't be made. I love, The Incredible Hulk film. Read the article first dummy.

I've honestly never found the Hulk to be that interesting, and that's not to insinuate that I think Bruce is particularly exciting either. If I had written Age of Ultron....

Well, I think people would actually be satisfied with my ideas, actually.

It goes back to the X-Men issue of the World War Hulk tie-in. Darwin is trying to absorb the gamma radiation, then his body tries another adaptation when the Hulk grabs him - which is to teleport away. Of course, it's just ridiculous wank to make the Hulk THAT unstoppable, but let's go with it - the solution to the Hulk problem is to be somewhere else.

Ultron attacks the Avengers, and tricks Banner into a rocket. It launches into space and shoots off. Gone.

And in the meantime, we get a version of the Illuminati reading the Hulk his rights - through Ultron's voice replications (sort of like Skynet in Salvation), of how he is a danger, can't be trusted, how it's for his own good.

And that's it. That's the end of the Hulk for Age of Ultron.

Planet Hulk would pick up from there.... except not. Because it's really not that amazing of a story, the characters suck, and apart from a few bloody noses and flesh wounds, there's no ACTUAL danger for the Hulk. That's not to say that a movie couldn't incorporate those elements, because it definitely CAN, but they wouldn't be THE focus of it.

So imagine Star Wars or Star Trek, let's say Empire Strikes Back and the 2009 reboot to be specific enough. Luke's on Dagobah going on a journey of self-discovery/training, while Han and Leia are on Bespin getting handed over to the Empire.... Kirk's been shot off to the nearest M-Class planet while Spock and the Enterprise carry on (sort of). So we put the Hulk through Sakaar, but it's a side-story - one that keeps him from interacting with Thanos until his dramatic return.

Then he'll have his Big Damn Heroes moment, only of course, it won't be enough.

I still think Planet Hulk could work. Send him into space after Avengers: AOU because he causes damage (maybe the secret council with SHIELD is like the Illuminati) and he comes back after Planet Hulk and attacks the Avengers with his alien army in Avengers 4

This is what I think they should do with The Hulk.

In The Avengers 3, The Hulk and Thor should team up on Thanos while the other Avengers are dealing with Thanos' army. Thanos should be too much for The Hulk and Thor to deal with and as the battle continues, The Hulk should become increasingly frustrated and angry to the point where he attacks anything he sees. Then it becomes a three way fight between Thanos/The Hulk/Thor. Eventually the other Avengers join in to deal with The Hulk. The Hulk becomes overwhelmed by being attacked from every direction and flees the area, leaving The Avengers to deal with Thanos.

In a sequel to The Avengers, The Avengers (minus The Hulk) should be taken to the future by Kang in such way that the world thinks that they died, which leaves The Hulk as the only super powered "hero" on Earth.

In order to keep himself from going on another rampage, Bruce Banner lives a quiet life in a small town in the middle of nowhere. He lives a normal life, doing normal things like going shopping or eating at a diner. In different parts of the movie they should have these slightly weird looking people in the background who are kind of unnoticeable. Like they should have a scene where Banner is at a diner and there's a slightly weird looking guy reading a newspaper. Or Banner is in bank and there is a slightly weird looking guy filling out some forms.

Throughout the movie, there should be various objects in the town that remind Banner of a time when The Hulk went on a rampage and had a confrontation with the military/SHIELD which are shown as flashback scenes.

In one scene toward the end of the movie, Banner should be just chilling at a bar, when a group of guys start trouble with Banner. You know, smacking him upside the head and just [frick]ing with him. Eventually he transforms into The Hulk and goes on another rampage. Then out of nowhere, The Thunderbolts show up and he gets into a fight with them. Depending on what they do in The Avengers 2, the fight should seem kinda familiar to The Hulk and they could even film some scenes that look similar to scenes in The Avengers 2. The Thunderbolts should be no match for The Hulk and as The Hulk is about to win the fight, he suddenly disappears without a trace. The Thunderbolts are relieved because they don't have to deal with The Hulk anymore and it is revealed that they sent those guys to the bar so they can make the public think that they are heroes by stopping a Hulk rampage.

In the after credits scene they should show Banner laying on an operating table with all the weird looking dudes from the town standing around the table. The camera should pan toward a window where you see the Earth thousands of miles in the distance. As the camera moves toward the window and away from the weird looking guys, you vaguely see one of them transform into a Skrull.



The Planet Hulk comics suck, so if they want to make a Planet Hulk type of movie, they are going to have to change things up. For a Planet Hulk movie, The Skrulls take Banner to a planet that they want to add to their empire. There are two options in this type of movie. The planet can be a part of the Kree empire or it can be an "unclaimed planet".

For a planet owned by the Kree, it should have valuable resources and a strategic location in the Kree/Skrull war. The Skrulls take Banner to the middle of a city on the planet and smack him around then get the hell out of dodge. The Kree military try to stop The Hulk but he's too much for them. Captain Marvel shows up to deal with The Hulk. Eventually they find out what is going on with The Hulk/Banner and Banner helps them against the Skrulls.

If they go with an "unclaimed planet", there should be various alien species that The Hulk eventually helps defend the planet from a Skrull invasion.

Boo-yah!!!!
