Marvel Studios has us already talking about a movie not set to be released until 2011: The Avengers. That film will no doubt be of epic proportions.
Director Louis Leterrier, who brought us The Incredible Hulk, suggested to MTV News (back in June) that they couldn’t find a villain that could challenge the teaming of Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor and Captain America.
And his solution was for them to use his.

Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, the writers of Iron Man, couldn’t agree more. They’re rumored to be writing another Marvel movie in the near future – one that has not been announced. Here’s the excerpt from MTV News:
“I hope ‘The Avengers’ embraces that,” Fergus said of having the Hulk as misunderstood baddie. “You don’t want like 10 super-badass good guys fighting together. Where’s the fun in that? Let’s break it off a little. Friends or colleagues who become enemies is always an interesting thing because you know it’s based on love and friendship and that’s always the worst thing to have turn bad — is someone you actually care about and someone you actually believe in.”
Now the Hulk has ripped through nearly every Marvel comic book series, so I couldn’t be happier with this news. In Ultimates, Vol. 1, Nick Fury recruits Giant-Man (read as: Ant-Man), the Wasp (that Eva Longoria rumor), Iron Man, Captain America and Thor, to take down a rampaging Hulk. Marvel’s big green monster has always been out of control, so when they said he was a part of the Avengers team in the movie it rubbed me the wrong way. And although Hulk was part of the first Avengers team in the comics, I think this movie is going to be about assembling said team and he’ll be the last piece in the puzzle.
The good guys always win, but to protect our borders and secure the homeland, they’ll have to go through little ol’ Bruce Banner to do it. Can they trust one another? They are working for the government, after all.

Wow JBRREX, I didn’t bother to read all that, but good for you! So…anyways, Hulk fights Avengers-sounds cool.
Hulk vs Thor is gonna be freakn sweet! Has anyone seen the trailer for that? What about Wolverine vs The Hulk? That comes out in January, and they have a trailer out for that too. The animation styles looks great and it seems to be geared towards an older audience, as I noted some profanity coming from Wolverine.
I think you can still find both the trailers on Marvel.com If not I’m sure they are on Youtube. Why isnt anyone talking about these movies? Marvels recent animated releases ( Ultimate Avengers 1 and 2, The Invincible Iron Man,Doctor Strange and Young Avengers) have all been very good, and these look to be on par with all of them. I’ll be checking them out for sure.
I saw both trailer (Hulk vs. Thor and Wolverine vs. The Hulk) in Young Avengers DVD. I guess Marvel wants to recover old fan and to include the new Generation.
What about the hulk being brainwashed. I mean maybe if he’s controlled by somebody, say for instance the leader then that would be interesting. I’d find it hard to see my childhood hero turn villain. I know they’ve done that in the past and recently with the World War Hulk but now I think they need to keep the sympathetic side of Dr. Banner, remember it could just easily be interpreted that Stark is misdirected in trying to hunt down the hulk and might have to learn painfully the error of his ways. You know Bruce loses it being chased all his life and turns angry.
They might even bring in Professor X to help control him, that would be my dream movie.
I agree wityh Emlyn Davis! (above) I wrote an email to Vic earlier today…
I think the Avengers SHOULD fight the Hulk, who is unwittingly acting as the Leader’s “puppet”. Then when the Avengers “cut the strings” the Hulk completes the Avenger team as they battle Leader together. (Leader is who Mr. Blue turns into in The Incredible Hulk, a sort of “intelectual Hulk” So it just seems to make sense.
Thanks Jim for the agreement. Oh and congrats to all americans on ur new presdient.
Now I’m new to the whole comic lore of Marvel, more of a tv junkie rather than comic reader. I do hear something of a red hulk in the comics now could that be something ot do with the avengers? If I’m wrong, who is he? Is it Bruce Banner or another abomination?
His name is Madman… apparently he is Samuel Sterns (Leader) brother…

Oh btw… In the beginning of TIH, Hulk tells Bromsky and his soldiers “Leave me alone”. You have to listen close though, but it is there.
