With Hulk having finally been done properly in Avengers, it seems there’s hardly a week goes by without a Planet Hulk rumour…
However, Mark Ruffalo who played Hulk and Bruce Banner in Avengers has been chatting to MTV about the chances of Planet Hulk happening and he doesn’t seem to be a fan of the idea – though is it because Hulk is the star of that story and not Banner? Perhaps… “I don’t think [Planet Hulk] is the way to go yet. I think you need more Banner. The whole thing is just him as Hulk, on a planet, fighting other gladiators. They launch Bruce Banner into space to try to get rid of him and the Hulk. He ends up freaking out; smashing up the spaceship, and it goes off course and ends up on this planet of gladiator creatures. He falls in love, has a Hulk baby … and then the Avengers nuke the planet.
“I think they are, for the first time, entertaining the idea of it. When we did The Avengers it was basically ‘No!’, and now there is some consideration for it. But there’s still nothing definitive, not even a skeletal version of what it would be. I look forward to going down that road, if we could crack that nut. I think the Banner/Hulk story line is obviously not a very easy nut to crack.”
Well, it’s good to know that a standalone Hulk movie is still on the cards… probably. If he’s as good as he was in Avengers then consider our seats booked right away

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
