Marvel Studios continues to reclaim the rights to varied superhero properties. After the Fox merger, they acquired the X-Males and Improbable 4 and now, they might have snagged one other large (actually) piece.
In keeping with sources near WGTC – the identical ones who advised us a She-Hulk present was coming to Disney Plus, WB is growing a Justice League Darkish collection for HBO Max and [SPOILERS] can be revealed as a traitor in The Rise of Skywalker – Marvel has reportedly gotten the rights again to Hulk, which Common owned for a few years. After all, this implies the door may is now open to make one other solo Hulk film and similar to with the Improbable 4, Marvel Studios will little doubt be hoping the third time’s the allure for a Hulk movie.
Ang Lee famously directed the 2003 model with Eric Bana within the titular function. And whereas he will get factors for actually ripping the panels of the comics out and bringing them onto the display screen, the story of a troubled relationship between a father and son felt somewhat too grownup on the time. Plus, there’s Hulk Canines within the film, which sounds cool on paper however in actuality was somewhat lame.
Then got here the 2008 movie with Edward Norton within the lead function. Followers needed extra motion they usually positively acquired it, however the pic has additionally sort of develop into the black sheep of the MCU. The film was made concurrently Iron Man and was type of shoehorned into the bigger universe on the finish.
After all, Ruffalo ultimately took over the function after Norton and the studio cut up over inventive variations and has been enjoying the hero ever since. And given that everybody is aware of the backstory of Bruce Banner at this level, they wouldn’t should waste time with that.
However let’s not get too far forward of ourselves. For now, the one factor we’ve been advised is that the rights to the Hulk are again at Marvel Studios. No solo movie has been confirmed for the character as of but, however the risk is certainly on the desk and despite the fact that there’ve been whispers that Banner will quickly cross the mantle onto She-Hulk so to talk, and make his exit from the MCU, Marvel may all the time go the Black Widow route and do some sort of prequel.
In any case, with the rights now again below their management, there are a whole lot of completely different choices obtainable to them and hopefully we’ll get extra readability on what they plan to do with the character within the not too distant future.
