The Hulk TV Series Won’t Tie Into Marvel Films, Del Toro Says

What we know so far about the show is it’s not going to be connected to the Marvel movie universe, it will focus on the relationship between Bruce Banner and Betty Ross, the Hulk will created either by a mix of practial effects and CGI or reusing the Hulk from The Avengers and might use Red Hulk as a main villain.

Before they said about recycling the Avengers Hulk(Problem about reusing the Hulk from The Avengers is that he looks like Mark Ruffalo) Del
Toro said the Hulk would be a mix of prosthetics and CGI wither they’re
still going by that we don’t know?

If the Hulk is going to be a mix of prosthetics and CGI it would mean
that Hulk would be a guy in a green muscle suit and the transformations
will be CG.

Avengers effects supervisor on the difficulties on bringing the Hulk to television.

“I think we’d have to have a lot of Banner. You know I think from beginning to end we got much faster at doing shots. We learned a lot about the process and about how to light him and how to make him look good. One of the things that was interesting was when we started off we kind of took our typical approach of really art directing the lighting, like rim, rim, rim, you know super stylized. And he really looked fake and kind of popped out. And what we found is that we ended up having to kind of flatten out his lighting to get him to sit in there with the rest of the Avengers. So I think after learning things like that, you know we could – if you’re talking about a TV schedule and how fast you need to turn around production, it would be a matter of, you know trying to build off everything we did for the movie and then, you know get him in there, get him lit. You wouldn’t have time to do the – you know all the really detailed shape, you know per frame corrections that we do”.

Del Toro updates on Hulk: I had one more meeting after Avengers with Jeph Loeb from Marvel and he said, “We’re working on it, we’re waiting for a writer,” he gave me the name of the writer and their resume and I said, “That sounds great, let’s wait for him” because we had delivered a teleplay and I haven’t heard since then.
