Remember that new TV version of the Hulk that was being developed by Guillermo del Toro?
Given how huge The Avengers was this year, you’d think the show would be a high priority for ABC to get to TV and strike while the iron is hot.
However, it appears the series is stuck in limbo.
Del Toro said they are currently waiting to meet with a writer the studio wants involved. And it could be that Marvel wants to keep the Green Goliath for another big-screen treatment.
“Right now all I know is the official word I was given is that there’s a writer they want. They are very interested in me meeting with him. He’s very, very busy. The official word is we are holding, but I don’t know… After Avengers having the success it had, perhaps the fate of the project may change. Right now officially what I know – and I’m not hiding anything off the record or anything – is that we were told we were waiting for this writer, and we were going to do it with him,” del Toro tells Shock ‘Til You Drop.
I loved the Hulk in the movie but I don’t think he can carry a series. Most of his best scenes was how he interacted with others. If he’s going to be on TV then it will have to be as a co-star with another Avenger.
They say he’s supposed to meet the new writer in the coming weeks.
