Guillermo del Toro reveals that the highly anticipated live-action Hulk TV pilot is “in a holding pattern” while ABC waits for a certain writer — “a very, very concrete name” — becomes available to tackle a new draft of the script.
Marvel and ABC are reportedly in very early talks to develop a live-action television drama set within the world The Avengers but not featuring any of the characters from the film. One of the ideas being considered is described as “a high-concept cop show.”
Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro says that Marvel has the screenplay in hand for his proposed live-action TV revival of The Incredible Hulk.
Following news that ABC passed on AKA Jessica Jones, based on Marvel’s Alias, comes word that Fox won’t be moving forward with a planned adaptation of The Punisher.
Fox has bought an adaptation of The Punisher that recasts Marvel’s antihero as a New York City police detective who moonlights as a vigilante, seeking justice for those the courts have failed.
CBS has bought an action/procedural series based on the hit 2011 Jake Gyllenhaal techno-thriller.
