Bana Set to Return for Potential Hulk Sequel
Thursday, October 7, 2004

The following was originally posted on Movie Hole:

Talking to Australia's Filmink Magazine - about the DVD release of "Troy" - Eric Bana debunked claims that he won't be back to reprise his role as Bruce Banner in a "Hulk" sequel.

Various reports over the last twelve months suggested that the stand-up comic turned Hollywood it-boy had walked away from the role, with producers now in search of another lad to fill the torn shorts. But Bana tells the mag that he's "seriously consdering" a second shot at playing The Hulk, with the studio keen for a sequel.

Bana also - again - laughed at rumours that he's in the running to play 007. He's simply not interested, he tells.

The sequel, which Jennifer Connelly will also return for, could give us our first glimpse of the Grey Hulk apparently, and include villains The Leader and The Abomination.

Avi Arad on Hulk 2

Marvel Studios CEO on "Spider-Man 2," other films
By Mark Rahner
Seattle Times staff reporter

If the '60s were the "Marvel Age" of comics, this is the Marvel Age of movies. We exchanged some word balloons with the man behind it all about "Spider-Man 2" and the spate of coming films based on some of Marvel's most revered characters, Marvel Studios Chairman and CEO Avi Arad.

Q: Let's talk about coming Marvel movies. In the "Hulk" sequel, will the green guy at least say "Hulk smash!" this time?

A:
Of course. I think at the end of the first movie you see this commitment: "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

And he's coming to terms with who he is. "I've got this curse and I'm going to use it when I need to protect innocent people." And I think in [the sequel] you'll see a man who understands his problem, is trying to solve it, coming to terms with the Bruce side of it, still trying to reject the Hulk, finding a way to reject it, and there are consequences to that, of course. And who knows? Green turns to gray and all hell breaks out.
