We know that Disney has signed Ruffalo to a 5-picture deal, including solo Hulk movies. So it's only a matter of time.

Did Lou Ferrigno do the Hulk's voice and growls in The Avengers, like he did in the last Hulk movie?

He did indeed.

Really?

That is pretty cool.

Whedon has already said he wants to do a solo Hulk flick with Ruffalo so it is really only a matter of time.

Can't wait for the witty repartee between Thunderbolt Ross and The Mastermind.

I was seriously iffy on Ruffalo when he was cast in the Avengers, but he completely turned me around. I'd love a Whedon/Ruffalo Hulk film.

The word on the street is that it's only a matter of time.

Can someone who isn't Steve confirm this?

He did indeed.

Coolness.

Can someone who is neither Steve nor Fraxon confirm this?

(puts on nose glasses)

He did indeed.

Somewhere there's a street with nerds hanging out on it, leaning against the wall and smoking?

And talking about penises.

Hey, who's this new guy?

He seems trustworthy.

Guys with glasses are smart. Fact.

I'm not sure if I like the cut of his jib.

I didn't realize that he was Jewish.

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd be interested in a Hulk movie starring the Avengers Hulk. Ruffalo did a good job. The Hulk was the best part of the movie. But so much of it was because the Hulk was deliberately dosed out sparingly. And Ruffalo's tic-filled performance as Banner was interesting, but will it play for an entire movie? It seemed like it was perfectly designed for an ensemble movie where everyone can kind of bounce off of it.

Solution: Hulkbusters!

A little goes a long way. You're right.

The key is to make the Hulk movie an ensemble movie, where we get invested in some characters and situations (truly invested). To the point where we feel like Bruce has got to make a sacrifice. Or to the point where the Hulk showing up is a surprise.

I think this problem is one of the reasons the Hulk is one of Marvel's coolest characters, but rarely sustains interest in a long term ongoing.

Myself, I'm drawn to the books where the main character is a hot mess and we get interested in the supporting cast, like Gerber's Man-Thing or Marvel's horror comics in the 1970's.
