James Gunn Wanted To Helm A HULK/RED HULK Movie For Marvel Studios

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn has revealed another Marvel property he'd like to bring to the big screen and you'll be left fuming that this one never happened once you hear about it!

James Gunn was interested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe long before he was chosen to take the helm of Guardians of the Galaxy and in a new interview, the filmmaker has revealed that he was at one point keen on taking the helm of a movie revolving around The Hulk...and the fan-favourite Red Hulk!

It was during a Q&A on Facebook that Gunn made the reveal, stating that, "I wanted to do Hit Monkey. Like REALLY wanted to do it. I was also interested in doing a Hulk/Red Hulk film." As many risks as Marvel takes, a Hit Monkey movie seems way outside the realm of possibility, though the obscure character showing up could happen depending on whether Marvel has any interest in that.

As for Red Hulk, rumours swirled that the character was supposed to show up in Captain America: Civil War, but neither he nor Bruce Banner showed up. General Ross was obviously present, but there were no hints whatsoever that he might be able to transform into a Hulk of any sort during his scenes.

Do you guys think this movie had become a reality? Where do you think Red Hulk should be introduced? As always, feel free to share your thoughts on this news in the comments section below.

Yes! I think a James Cameron Hulk v Red Hulk would be awesome- shades of Terminator. Oh wait, James Gunn.... Yeah, that'd be cool.

@California - not... really...

When I think of a hulk/red hulk movie, James gunn does not come to mind. I like the dude, but he doesn't give a shit.

@ALostCause - I wouldn't say he doesn't give a shit, don't get me wrong, I love the dude, a fantastic director with a very unique style, but the red hulk story idk if it would fit with him. I'd say that's more a Russo brothers project, speaking of which why has no one asked for a Russo hulk movie??? I think they would smash it. Pun intended

I bet he couldn't make it cuz of that wierd deal with universal that marvel can't make standalone hulk films.

Also just doesn't seem like Gunn's cup of tea. As wierd as a hulk red hulk movie would be,he needed a sandbox to get weirder . That's why guardians was perfect for him.
