Waid Wants Hulk Movie


Incredible Hulk comics supremo Mark Waid has expressed his desire for a Mark Ruffalo-lead Hulk movie.

 Speaking to Newsarama, Waid said of Ruffalo's take on the character: "He's tailor made for a film adventure.

"Wasn't he the breakaway star of Avengers? He was in my theatre, I'll tell you that.

"[Ruffalo is] spot-on. I love how he's more driven than tormented, and the Bruce Banner/Tony Stark bromance is positively inspirational."

In all the discussions of Phase Three, a Hulk movie has yet to be mentioned. No doubt the main problem is just how luke-warm (at best) the reception was for the first Marvelverse Hulk movie, which starred Edward Norton (whose dickbaggery prevented him from returning in Avengers Assemble - something that definitely proved to be for the best thanks to Ruffalo's exceptional performance), and the previous Ang Lee helmed Hulk flick.

The fact is that no big-screen solo outing for Big Green has been any good, really.

But Waid's right, Ruffalo definietly stole the show in The Avengers. Do the right thing, Marvel, give him his own movie.

Ruffalo will return as Bruce Banner in 2015's Avengers: Age Of Ultron. He was last seen in this Summer's Iron Man 3.
