Speaking with
MTV Splashpage at San Diego Comic-Con, director Guillermo del Toro (
Hellboy, next year's
Pacific Rim) is asked about the current status of his planned
Hulk television series.
"I have had a couple of minutes with Marvel since 'Avengers,' and they have the screenplay," del Toro said.
"We're waiting for a particular writer to do a rewrite on the pilot. That's where we are right now. But we're still on."
Additionally, del Toro didn't hesitate to express his love for Marvel's recent blockbuster
The Avengers.
"I think 'Avengers' is beautiful because you give a movie like that -- that size, that scope -- to a guy that has the tone and the pulse of those things dead on, and that's beauty or curse, you know?" the director said.
Last we heard about the
Hulk series , ABC was hoping to begin airing it sometime next year. Also, del Toro has said that his vision of The Hulk will be entirely separate from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version (played by Edward Norton in 2008's
The Incredible Hulk and by Mark Ruffalo in
The Avengers). Still, with the recent success that
Avengers' Hulk has found on the big screen, do you want to see the same version appear on ABC?
