Es gab ein Gerücht, welches David Duchovny ( Fox Mulder ) als Bruce Banner in einem Direct-To-DVD-Sequel gehandelt hat? Ist da irgendwas an mir vorbeigeschliddert?

Wie dem auch sei, es wurde unlängst dementiert und zwar von Avi Arad ( Mr. Marvel Movie himself )!

Was feststeht ist, dass Marvel den Film selbst produzieren will, in Zusammenarbeit mit Columbia, der erste Film entstand noch unter dem Paramount-Emblem!

Ausserdem möchte Arad direkt an den ersten anschliessen und allen Unkenrufen zum Trotz keinen Neustart in Erwägung ziehen, laut ihm ist auch weiterhin Eric Bana mit dabei! Er steht gerade in Verhandlungen, was Regie und Drehbuch anbelangt... man darf gespannt sein!

Schade finde ich, dass David Duchovny nicht mit dabei ist, wäre ein prima Dr. Banner gewesen!

"It's still a study in anger. It's more a love story between Bruce and Betty. It has the feel of The Fugitive, and Bruce is on a mission to get rid of the Hulk. When you see the Abomination, you'll see something really special.

Finally, action director Louis Leterrier (Transporter, Transporter 2) has signed on to direct The Incredible Hulk for Marvel Studios. which according to the trade, will return the character to his comic book roots. HR reports producers Avi Arad and Marvel’s Kevin Feige first met with Leterrier two years ago and were struck by his passion for the Marvel Comics Universe. “It was that passion that shone through recently when -- after approached to gauge his interest in directing a new Hulk movie -- Paris-based Leterrier went back to his studio and, with the help of an artist, storyboarded two action sequences and developed a take on the monster.” "His movies have humor and character depth set against fantastic action, and these aspects will be explored to the fullest extent in 'Hulk," said Feige. The script is being written by Zak Penn (X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand). Casting will begin shortly. Leterrier will be formally introduced Saturday during a Marvel Studios panel at Comic-Con.

Even though former Marvel Studios chief executive Avi Arad let the cat out of the bag earlier this year, The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier made it official today at the San Diego Comic-Con that Abomination will indeed be the villain for the follow-up. "He's capable of amazing feats," Arad said previously, describing the former Yugoslav spy who has mutated into a 980-pound freak of terrifying strength and unpleasant demeanor.

A scooper alerted us that "Prison Break" star Dominic Purcell appeared on New York radio station WPLJ this morning and was asked by hosts Scott Shannon and Todd Pettengill whether he is up for the role of Bruce Banner/Hulk in Marvel Studios' The Incredible Hulk. Purcell didn't confirm or deny his involvement but the tone of his voice is pretty much a giveaway that he is at least in talks. But don't take our word for it, you can listen to the clip yourself here!

Louis Leterrier talked about Hulk 2 last night on French TV Show "la grande émission". He mentioned a 120 $ budget and said it won't be a sequel (that's the scoop I guess). He's looking for a bookish glass-wearing type for Banner, no mention of Eric Bana. The Incredible Hulk is targeted for a 2008 release.
