Kevin Feige On Alias, Hulk TV Plans; Discusses Mark Ruffalo's Portrayal Of Bruce Banner!

Talking to The Playlist, Kevin Feige commented on the plans for possible TV shows based on Marvel character Jessica Jones and possibly the Hulk as well! Things have been pretty quiet recently about the companies small screen plans, so it's good to at least get some sort of brief update to let us know that they're still working on it!

"I think they’ve talked about Hulk and a character named Jessica Jones who was in a comic series called Alias—the TV show will not be called Alias—but the comic series was. And they’ve certainly earmarked a lot of properties that they think has potential for various forms of TV."

The Marvel Studios boss also went on to comment on Mark Ruffalo taking over as Bruce Banner from Ed Norton, comparing it to characters like James Bond and Doctor Who. He makes a good point, and once again drops enough hints about Ruffalo's performance to get us excited to see the actor in the iconic role.

"I think like James Bond changing actors many times or Batman changing actors many times, or Dr. Who changing actors, every actor brings something different to it and I think what we’re going to find [with Mark Ruffalo is] a pathos that I think we haven’t seen in Bruce Banner since Bill Bixby."

"Ruffalo is I think going to be matching that in terms of really sort of feeling for that character and caring for that character. I think one of the reasons Mark wanted to come on is that Banner becomes as interesting a character as the Hulk does. And all rooted in that pathos for this brilliant man who has this condition."

With an all star cast which includes Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Rufallo as Bruce Banner, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Tom Hiddleston as Loki, The Avengers is set to be released on May 4, 2012!
