[UPDATE: Maybe the Hulk will look better than we thought in the upcoming movie, check out the new facial close-up below.]
With the rising interest in The Incredible Hulk movie following the release of the latest trailer I thought this was worth checking out.
There has been a lot of discussion regarding the “look” of the Hulk in the upcoming film - both as a standalone and as compared to the Ang Lee version. Well /Film has posted an image of a fan-made CGI model that looks like it’s far better than either of the movie versions (based on what I’ve seen so far).

There have been lots of comments stating that the new version of the Hulk is way too “ripped.” I actually thought that in some of the scenes he looks like he has no skin and it’s just green, exposed muscle. On the other hand Ang Lee’s version looked too “soft,” almost like a pro-wrestler that forgot to cut salt out of his diet. 
While it seems like this movie’s version is kind of an over-reaction to Lee’s, it looks to me like Sweden-based artist Jonas Thornqvist got it just right not only in muscle definition but overall physique and facial structure:
The point has been brought up stating that “Just how ‘real’ can you make a 9-foot, green behemoth look?” Well I think the fellow above looks pretty damned realistic considering his un-real qualities.
Here’s a comparison of the three and tell me you don’t think the version above is the best one:
Sure, this one isn’t animated, but even for animation you have to start with a decent static model.
Maybe the movie version will look better in the final analysis - could be that like that Super Bowl Iron Man shot that what we’ve seen just isn’t quite complete.
Update: Speaking of “the final analysis” check out this screen grab from one of the latest TV commercials:

Great post! Like the look except the chest, but if the new movie Hulk had the pics skin, I’d be very satisfied. Unfornately, even Ang Lee’s Hulk looks more realitic.
Vic, I agree, I believe this is not the finished product(cross your fingers).
Looks cool, but not functional. He would never be able to turn his head. there is too much muscle around it. He would have a turn radius of about 45 degrees.
INK
When do I get to be a fan and create a CGI Hulk? Waaaa waaa
Looks good, I’ve never seen arms that big on any human life form. Color and texture looks good too.
Certainly looks more real than the other ones, IMO. Kinda reptillian tho.
It would be cool to see some CG models of someone else’s take on the Thing….hint, hint.
Ummmmm nice artwork but nothing even remotely close to the CGI in the current film or the 2003 version. Like the person said above…it’s not functional. It’s easy to create a 2d imagine and try to act like it’s better without seeing it in motion in a live action environment. While the art is nice ( and I saw this on superherohype weeks ago) it’s not eve close to the f/x in the films. If that artist drawing was in the trailer the movie would have already been cancelled.
It’s the Hulkback of Notre Dame.
Memo to whoever: The Hulk is G-R-E-E-N. What’s with the formaldehyde rot?
it looks like the grinch on steroids look at the mouth LOL
I think the new film version of the Hulk is MUCH better than the pillsbury doughboy look of the Ang Lee version. I think the artist concept above is fantastic, however. The chest is a little flat and the neck muscles are a little too big, but other than that it is awesome. The color, the skin tone and the snarl on his face ARE the Hulk!!
BTW, has ANYONE figured out why the Hulk’s pants STILL fit him even though he’s now 9 ft tall? I’m assuming that his waist is a LITTLE bit bigger than Banner’s….LOLOL.
andy, ang lee sorta answered the pants thing in the movie (and a little more in the commentary). when the hulk started to diminish, his pants did drop. remember he approached betty all sweaty, sans britches after dispensing with the fido bitches.
i think we can assume after that, banner gets the “super huge colossal expandable waist” purple pants.
sigh…at least ang lee and kermit the frog knew that the Hulk is G-R-E-E-N!
Well Jimmy the C, that is green. Maybe a touch too much yellow but its green.
The fact that its a CGI image means the color could easly be changing.
I think whoever that fan is did a neat job!!
Andy - given the broken law of conservation of mass, the pants aren’t that big of a question
Trapezius muscles the size of pyramids and he has that evil troll doll vibe..Looks like he needs to have a dump!!Color is great and the skin looks better without all that vasculature running through it like the new Hulk. I still think the new Hulk in the upcoming movie looks the best and Marvel will impress all again…they did not let us down with Iron Man so I think this movie is their baby and it will be awesome.
Sorry the new movie Hulk looks best, and why not? That’s the one were going to see animated that counts probably for more in the long run, as somebody already said, they’ve taken time to ensure that one really can move, thats the foundation of a cgi model.
Ang Lee’s Hulk is ridiculous and always has been, and none of the above Hulks are wide enough to be a proper rendition of the character, the Hulk isn’t just tall is he?
But don’t get me wrong, your cgi rendering of the Hulk is very good, its incredibly sharp and deadly looking and i like it.
But what’s that he’s holding? A gun? Give me a break.
The arms, shoulders, and especially the neck muscles are out of proportion with the rest of the body.
Do like the skin texture though.
But what’s that he’s holding? A gun? Give me a break.
Yes, that is a gun….a gun that’s bent. Someone mentioned how out of proportion some of his features are? Well, in the comic, these features are also out of proportion. These are CGI models, so they can move the way the computer program wants them to move. This isn’t about reality, it’s about making a comic-book movie. If this were about reality, Banner would die once exposed to gamma radiation. I like the artist’s rendition of the Hulk, and wish someone would give him the duckies to use it in a future movie.
I’ve noticed that in the new TV spots for the Hulk that they’ve went over the SFX/CG a bit more. He looks better, IMO.
He’s mean, green, lean and he’s on our side..The new TV spots are really solid..I can’t wait to see this movie!!
the new hulk look created by a fan stinks. he has no neck. i like the look of hulk they have for this movie that’s coming out. ang lee was wrong at every corner. his hulk looks like he has flab hanging from his midsection. plus, he made his hulk look more like an anime version of the hulk. his movie indeed smelled big time
and, BACKLASH, look, hulk has a gun in his hand which he just finished smashing. see even he thinks it’s BORRRRRRRING. HULK SMASH YOU!

That artwork doesn’t have anything on this movies CGI. Look at pic above.

^ THAT looks good.
I reckon the new hulk looks cute ^_^ and not sooo scary! The way I always imagined him!
What an outstanding picture. We’re going to be using that on the front of our website to coincide with the release of our “The Incredible Hulk” Feature Film Review podcast. That’s a great picture and we’re happy to link back here for it.
Additionally I wanted to agree with you about the look of this “new Hulk”. When I look at the chest just under the neck, I’m totally not sold. Though I will also DISagree with the look the the Ang Lee Hulk. I LOVED that Hulk, both in shape, but - what my Podcast Partner Tony called “Texture” in our detailed review.
Kudos to such great comments. It’s great to see more people that actually tell people what they think and not just fall in line to love “yet another comic book movie.
Cheers!
Thanks for the props, bro - much appreciated. We try to speak our mind here at Screen Rant.
