Select AMC cinemas will show Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avengers back to back on May 3, capped off by the midnight premiere of The Avengers.
A newly surfaced screen grab from The Avengers extended Super Bowl spot reveals just how much the film’s motion-capture Incredible Hulk resembles actor Mark Ruffalo.
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says he and David Eick are drawing on Marvel comics, not the big-screen universe, as inspiration for the live-action television series. “The movies have their own continuity,” he says.
Network President Paul Lee said ABC is “aggressively” developing the two Marvel comics properties, and approaching The Hulk as “family entertainment.”
The filmmaker has offered an update, saying that he and David Eick have turned in a rewritten outline to ABC for the planned live-action series.
Marvel and ABC are developing a live-action revival of The Incredible Hulk, which last stomped across the TV landscape almost three decades ago. Marvel’s new television division is also prepping a Cloak & Dagger series for ABC Family.
With the announcement on Monday that Marvel has at last established a television division, with veteran writer Jeph Loeb at the helm, our thoughts turn to which of the company’s characters are ready to make the leap to live-action television.
