Good morning fans! Richard Deschamps here with yet another fascinating insider report from the wonderful world of Comic Book Movies! As many of you already know, 20th Century Fox began production on a brand new Hulk movie, after the catastrophe that was Hulk (2002). Titled "Incredible Hulk 2," the idea behind this film is to explain the origins of the King Kong-like superhero, and reinvent the character for today's audience. Similar to Texas Chainsaw Massacres Begin (2006), the film will take place before the events of The Hulk (2002), making it a certifiable prequel! I know many of my fans out there will agree that a superhero prequel is just what this franchise needs. Batman Returns I'm looking in your direction!
However, I'm a bit skeptical about their casting choices. A reliable source of mine confirms that Edward Norton (Romper Stomper, Primal Fears) has been cast as the film's protagonist. Edward Norton? As David Banner/Hulk? Give me a break, guys! The dude is a wimp, plain and simple. It's gonna take an awful lot of makeup to turn Mr. Norton into our lovable ape of a hero. If you ask me, they should have gone with someone like Florida Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Just put on a bit of green eyeshadow and we have a bona fide Incredible Hulk ladies and gentleman!
In other news, Marvel is hard at work trying to promote Iron Man (2008) for next year. Have you guys seen the incredible trailer yet? Check it out here. Directed by the one and only (not to mention hysterical) Vince Vaughn, Iron Man is set to be Marvel's next big superhero franchise. Let's just hope the media conglomerate doesn't screw it up like they did with Superman Begins (2005) and add a bunch of boring crap like a shitty villain (Ross Webster), superbabies, and Lana Lang! Get it through your heads Marvel! People want action, suspense and CGI. Let's all just pray that Iron Men is the fantastic feature we all deserve!Deschamps, out!!!
