Another Villain for the Incredible Hulk Movie: So Says the Leader!!!

[filmation batman fan]

Well, I just found out some great news regarding the upcoming movie: The Incredible Hulk for 2008.

1: The new movie is barely connected to the first one and has a whole new cast like Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross.

2: The Hulk will be 9 feet tall and won't grow any bigger (Thank God and Gryehound)

3: So far, we've learned that one of the comic book villains in the movie will be the Abomination


LATEST HULK MOVIE NEWS : HULK SMASH !!!

Some actor named Tim Blake Nelson has been cast to play Samuel Stern, the man who becomes the Leader in the new movie.

I think this is great news. I've never followed the Hulk comics like I have the TV series, but if I were to guess, I would assume that the Leader is to the Hulk as Dr. Doom is to the Fantastic Four, The Red Skull to Captain America, or the Joker is to Batman, or Lex Luthor to Superman: The Number one foe. I could be wrong, but I was guessing. I always felt that if any comic foe should be in the movie, it should be the Leader. I'm not familiar with this Nelson guy though.

If anything, this will make the Incredible Hulk movie worth giving a try next summer.

Cheers.

Tim Blake Nelson was awesome as Delmar in O Brother, Where Art Thou?!

the Leader and the Abomination are connected arent they? I think that Leader uses the Abomination to try and destroy the hulk (in the comics and 90's cartoon), so the appearance of the Abomination would suggest that the Leader would be present. With the leader now in the story Humanoid's can be added among all the other crazy inventions of the Leader so the story can essentially go any where (in space, under water etc).
I am looking foward to this indeed, I don't think it will be too hard to beat the 2000 Hulk film at all.

Why does a post about the Hulk movie merit a Batman icon?

[Hulk]

Interesting choice. I like the actor's work, I just need to see how he portrays the character. Hopefully he will not play it like too much of a doofus, ala the Hulk 90's cartoon series, although I think a certain amount of pompous sniveling whiner is essential to the character.

It really doesn't. I've been posting the Bat icon to any post I make whether it be Batman related or not. Just a habit I've gotten into I guess. It goes along with my name handle.
