“It would be very, very hard. Hulk is a tricky son of a bitch. He’s the Claudio of superheroes. Because the problem is it’s a very popular character, but it’s not a superhero. Half of it’s a superhero, half of it’s a werewolf. And you can’t structure it like a superhero movie, you can’t light it like a superhero movie. How do you develop that? It would be extremely difficult. The one thing you would have in your favour would be Mark Ruffalo.” Joss Whedon On The Challenges Of A Solo HULK Movie

Oh, Ridley Scott. We had such high hopes for your Alien prequel movie Prometheus, but poor choices made it a funhouse of ridiculous and horribly distracting violations of science — and common sense. Untold light-years from Earth, an android can’t properly count time; when asked how long the mission has lasted, he says, “2 years, 4 months, 18 days, 36 hours, 15 minutes,” not “2 years, 4 months, 19 days, 12 hours and 15 minutes”. Just about the only thing that Scott got right with Prometheus was the organizational ineptitude of the mission, which was essentially a doomed-to-catastrophically-fail season of Big Brother on an alien world

“Alright, that was a cheap joke. Okay, I admit it. And I’m gonna do it again, like four times in the movie, and I’m just gonna apologize up front. I like knocking Norse people out of frame. It makes me laugh. And I like things that make me laugh.”

Il film sarà molto più grande. E in assoluto il film più grosso che abbiamo mai prodotto, sia per l’ambiziosità della storia ma anche come budget che per i personaggi coinvolti. E’ decisamente più grande dei film precedenti. Ma, se ci pensi, è ovvio ed è giusto che lo sia: tutti gli eroi a cui abbiamo dedicato un film sono usciti, se vogliamo, vittoriosi dalle loro avventure. Quindi deve succedere qualcosa di veramente grosso e grave per convincerli a unire le forze. Sapevamo sin dall’inizio, quindi, che questo film sarebbe stato il più ambizioso finora.
