Marvel's Head Of Television Jeph Loeb goes fairly in depth on the plans for the Hulk tv series here. He says that the most popular incarnation of Bruce Banner has always been Billy Bixby and explains how we never got to sympathize with his plight in the two Hulk movies the same as we did in the classic show. He says Mark Ruffalo's version of the character in The Avengers will change all that. He says Betty Ross is as big a part of the show as Banner and it's very much a love story between them. He also hints that even though the show will air after The Avengers movie, it will be set a long time before it. He also talks about the special effects that will be used to bring The Hulk to life, hinting that Guillermo Del Toro will use a similar approach to Hellboy. There is MUCH more on Hulk and various other Marvel projects too so be sure to watch but the TV stuff comes in around the 13 minute mark.

yeah im all for a coulson show, it would give marvel an opportunity to introduce their lower tier characters in an easier way, as opposed to them throwing them in a movie for a split second

I completely agree with his points about creative teams doing a short run and a new team doing another run and them be contained but still interlinking. 1-the end. And then new team, new story. All planned, no space for filler material. Thats how I like to read and buy and to be honest that's how I'd want to right. As long as the story needs to be, could be 1-10 or 1-60 as long as its an entirely planned out run.

Still say the one photo we have of Ruffal Hulk reminds me of this. Wonder who the 5th actor to play Banner will be.........

Great great post. Lot's to look forward too. Coulson Live action TV would be a great idea.

So after all that who-ha about it not being set in the MMU...it turns out it will be the movie Banner and also set in the same universe as the movies...

Excellent...thats what you need to be doing Marvel...also guest star appearances from other Marvel characters that have not appeared in the MMU would be a good way to expand the universe there...

Think about this. Unless they have Marvel heroes and villains in this show it would be just another cop show. Maybe like X-Files but without the Superpowered ones this show will not be very interesting over time.

The Coulson show could involve a different hero each episode. A guest spot from like Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, etc. and much smaller characters, like Justice, Black Knight, or Mockingbird.

Will Ruffalo be Banner in the Hulk show or will they have a 3rd actor playing Banner in these connected shows and movies?

This is all going to add up to 10 minutes or less of Hulk per episode, isn't it?

THAT MAKE MASS ANGRY!!

LOL I'm no fan of Loeb (imo his Batman work is WAY overated and often out of character) but his Hulk (with the classic Hulk) was the most enjoyable I've seen in years.

as long as they introduce some characters i dont mind :) such as she hulk, wendigo, sasquatch, the leader, absorbing man etc then it will be amazing just to see them on the screen, oh and be amazing to see him turn into grey hulk

When he mentioned having conversations with Joss Whedon about the Hulk, that got me excited.Now that Whedon is in the Marvel Studios family, can you imagine if they made him executive producer on one of these Marvel shows?

Look at how well put together Buffy and Angel were.I've never watched Firefly, but I'm guessing it was also great judging by it's fanbase.Without network interference(Dollhouse), he puts together some of the greatest genre series.

I'm very excited about these series.Much like their movies, Marvel has the benefit of witnessing about a decade of successful and unsuccessful live action films and TV series and now they probably have a good idea of what to do and what not to do.

^^^^ Yes. Make it like the classic 60's and 70's comic. Not the old TV show. I want to see Leader, and Tyranus, and Modok, and Absorbing Man, and maybe even that journey to the center of the atom story line! THAT would be great.

Why don´t they just do a SPIDERMAN tv show.

The new movie already looks like a TV-movie-pilot.

It could be a mix of "Everybody hates Chris" and "Smallville".

I'm sorry, when I got to the part about "Guillermo Del Toro" I stopped reading.

I'm a little confused. If I'm not mistaken, in The Incredible Hulk, Betty hasn't seen Bruce since the accident and doesn't know that he is the Hulk at first. If the series is set before TIH but after the accident, then how would Betty have a role in the show?

If there are no super-villains, not even Del Toro may be able to save it.

@ Rulk

No, because Guillermo Del Toro is very over-rated and predictable. He's a creature designer trying to be director, like Tim Burton. So very glad he's off the Hobbit.

Having Guillermo Del Toro on the project means this Hulk will only be a green version of Hellboy and somehow, someway, Doug Jones will be involved. Uggghhh
MassExecutions
MassExecutions - 11/4/2011, 11:00 AM
@pintoman - Your crazy. Blade 2 and both Hellboys were all kinds of entertaining. Devils Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth boarder on greatness.

Also, what have you got against Doug Jones?

"Guillermo Del Toro is very over-rated and predictable. He's a creature designer trying to be director"

No he isn't. Fair enough if you are not a fan of his Hellboy movies ( I am as it happens), what about Chronos, The Devils Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth, Blade 2..seen those? Hated em? If so don't blame Del Toro cos you have no taste:)
