There isn’t a single person in the world who hasn’t heard of Marvel, but there was a time when it was a weirdo thing. In a world where ‘The Avengers’ was just a post-credits scene, back in 2008, the second movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe came to light: ‘The Incredible Hulk’. Fourteen years later, we’re still waiting for a sequel. Why? And even more important, What would this supposed sequel be about?

Nolan-style hulk
The emerald giant movie may have done only slightly better at the box office than the one released by Ang Lee five years earlier, but for Universal it was enough to want expand your universe. Yes, Universal: the Marvel character rights mess means that solo Hulk movies have to be distributed by them, but not ones where he is part of a group. Therefore Hulk is the golden secondary Marvel, but never the protagonist.
Own Kevin Feig He stated that ‘The Incredible Hulk’ had fulfilled Marvel’s expectations, and that the character would return after ‘The Avengers’. Edward NortonThrilled at his chance to be back in the spotlight, he pitched his idea for a sequel to Marvel Studios, aside from the “Hulk Smashes!” and more in line with the dark and serious tone of Nolan’s Batman. Spoiler alert: it didn’t go well.
Hulk is literally the myth of Prometheus. I thought of two movies: Inception and then the idea of the Hulk as the conscious dreamer, the guy who can master the ride. And they were saying, ‘This is what we want!’ As we know, that is not what they wanted.
Norton’s idea was to show Hulk controlling his inner rage, continuing the last scene of the original film in which Bruce Banner, with green eyes, smiled. In the end, to be fair, Norton’s idea came to the screen a decade later, in ‘Avengers: Endgame’, in which Bruce Banner lived eternally transformed into Professor Hulk. The fandom felt regular.
In 2010, in the middle of San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios announced that Edward Norton would be replaced by an actor who would most enjoy being part of a collaborative cast. Norton’s agent responded infuriated and they staged the controversy of the year that week.
And when you get here, you may be wondering: Okay, but then, Is there going to be a sequel to ‘The Incredible Hulk’? The answer is yes and no. Although there are many rumors that point to an adaptation of the hilarious ‘World War Hulk’For now, we will have to settle for seeing the character accompanying Jennifer Walters in ‘She-Hulk’ (or ‘Hulka’ if you have read the original comics), the next Disney + series. It can be said that Marvel has been caught red-handed in La Masa.
