Marvel Studios and Universal Pictures announced a June 27, 2008, release date for The Incredible Hulk, sequel to 2003's Hulk. The announcement was made Nov. 6 by Michael Helfant, president and chief operating officer of Marvel Studios, and Kevin Feige, Marvel's president of production.

Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2, Unleashed) will direct The Incredible Hulk, which will return to the roots of the long-running comic series. Zak Penn, who previously collaborated with Marvel on X2 and this summer's X-Men: The Last Stand, is writing the script. The project is being produced by Avi Arad, Feige and Gale Anne Hurd and will be executive-produced by Michael Helfant, David Womark and Arad. Marvel Studios is currently casting the project.

The Incredible Hulk is being independently produced by Marvel Studios through its $525 million, non-recourse film finance facility and will be distributed domestically and in several international territories by Universal Pictures.

Thats cool. I thought the first movie was pretty good.

I look forward to seeing this.

Here's the thing about the first movie, Hulk was awesome...Banner wasn't. There was too much talking and not enough smashing! I mean, that part at the end where Hulk beats the hell out of all those tanks? That's what I went to see the Hulk movie for. With the dude who wrote X2 and X3 writing the script, I'm sure there'll be a good amount of action, unlike the first.

I thought the first one was good in some parts, and poor in others. The story could have done without him battling his father at the end, but i think the most exciting parts of the movie were when Banner was the Hulk. I would like to see Eric Bana play Banner again too. But, seeing as it is a movie about the Hulk, i will be there to see it.

The first one was pretty good. I hope this one is good and I really hope they have Abomination in it.

*Dr. Doom* · 11-07-2006, 08:24 PM

I always sorta felt like I was one of the very few people who enjoyed the 2003 film. I haven't seen it since that first time, so it'd be interesting to watch it again and reevalute it.

*Duke* · 11-07-2006, 08:48 PM

I didn't really like the first one.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 11-08-2006, 12:55 AM

I thought it was alright, but I'm looking forward to seeing if they can do even better this time around. Hulk doesn't need to be mindless action all the time, but the 2003 Hulk could have used more action earlier in the film. They also tried too hard to make the origin seem more plausible than a nuclear explosion, to the point that Hulk's origin was just confusing. So what the heck was it that made him turn? The nano-whatever things? The radiation? A little from column A, a little from column B?

*Raven* · 11-08-2006, 01:33 AM

The first movie could of been great if the story didnt jump from one character to the next, at the begining Banner was the major focus but then it switched to his father.....er.....yeah.

Any way if they get some one new to write this I'm in....but I'm still more excited for the Dark knight which comes out that year also

*Drtooth* · 11-08-2006, 02:16 PM

They have never copied the success from Spiderman with any of the other Marvel films. The first Hulk wasn't good, X-men didn't impress me, and NO WAY am I ruining fond Fantastic Four memories with that film. Unless they do a total 180 on this one, it will hardly be even worth the lousy Hulk hands clogging up toy aisle shelf space. Please don't get me started on that.

*discordiatookie* · 11-09-2006, 08:32 PM

i liked how Hulk was directed, especially in the underground bunker type place, as if it was actually part of a comic or something...

i read ages ago that david duchovny had been cast as Banner but i think that project never took off (it seemed like it was gonna be a straight to video sequel)...

hope they keep 'incredible' in the title!

*Deathknight* · 11-09-2006, 08:59 PM

I really did not like the first one at all. My friend who I saw it with actually fell asleep in the theatre while we were watching it.

**Barkworm** · 11-10-2006, 01:49 AM

The first one was awesome, I couldn't stop laughing...

*Mecha Cow* · 11-10-2006, 08:50 AM

I'm pretty sure it's not a sequel, but a reboot, unless they changed their minds again. It was gonna be a direct sequel at first, but then they changed it to be more like a remake.

I am one of the few people who genuinely thought the first Hulk movie was good (Even if it was kind of long-winded and weird), and while I can understand that people were expecting more 'Hulk smash', it wouldn't be hard at all to just take that route in a sequel (Which the first movie even set up). I think just discarding the movie is kind of dumb, but whatever.

Yea.... it's a reboot... They're gonna make a fresh start and have an actual story. Not just have Hulk hopping across southern Utah and causing the military to destroy Zion and Bryce National Parks like the last one did.

The last Hulk movie was meh....I wasn't really impressed with it or the CGI (if you could call it that). It was like "OMG! Those evil mutant Poodles are going after Hulk!".... Best part of the whole film was the cameo of Stan Lee and Lou Ferigno as security guards at the lab.

*Mecha Cow* · 11-11-2006, 08:29 AM

I thought the general consensus was that Hulk had too much story?

*ZariusTwo* · 11-11-2006, 11:06 PM

I don't get why nobody has yet to grasp that the movie was what the comics have been for years, even the first season of the short lived 1996 animated series demonstrated this to a degree, but I guess everyone just thinks "Lou Feringo, Hulk Smash"

God I hate popcorn audiences

**Barkworm** · 11-12-2006, 03:47 AM

I simply thought the dialogue, the story and the acting in this movie were horrible. I couldn't even enjoy the action because the CG was so lame. Ergo, I didn't like it.

Just like everyone else hates elitist assholes, what's your point?

*Spike Spiegel* · 11-17-2006, 09:45 AM

Well,I just hope that this new one has a superior story...the first one OWNED with the special effects...but the old show (with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno) OWNED in storyline.
