(fanmade) The Incredible Hulk
With a director who is known for films like The Transporter and Unleashed, audiences have to be curious on what Louis Leterrier has in store for The Incredible Hulk. Sensing our curiosity, the director has popped up to discuss his strategy for this 'fresh start' in the Hulk franchise.

During an interview with WizardEntertainment, Louis Leterrier not only explains why The Incredible Hulk is being considered a completely different movie from the first installment, but his selection of villain as well.
“It’s a fresh start because I saw there is a real fan base for Ang Lee’s movie,” said Leterrier of Lee’s ill-received “Hulk” in an exclusive interview with Wizard. “I didn’t want to offend [those fans] in any way, and also I like the movie. It was very interesting. [But] it was weaker ground to build a big franchise upon so we decided to scrap it and establish it from bases that are more comic book-based and TV show-based.”
“Obviously, General Ross is the villain, so he had to be in it,” added Leterrier. “But the Abomination, Emil Blonsky, was who Marvel wanted to put in this chapter—the first chapter of our new saga—because he’s the most famous. He’s an enemy that can actually threaten the Hulk. It’s very important for me that there is a danger. When Bruce Banner is Hulk, I didn’t feel in Ang Lee’s ‘Hulk’ that there was any threat. He was invincible. So with Abomination there’s actually a monster that can, you know, kill him when he’s in the Hulk form.”
