It is about half a month remaining before the highly anticipated premiere of Josh Whedon's "Avengers: Age of Ultron." With the expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mark Ruffalo expressed his enthusiasm in doing a solo Hulk movie.
Ruffalo and Scarlet Johansson, who are playing The Hulk and Black Widow in "Avengers," were interviewed recently by IGN. The actor mentioned that there are lots of places for The Hulk to go such as in space, revealing some talk on "Planet Hulk" topic.
"I'd be completely interested in entertaining that," Ruffalo said. The actor added that he had not been involved in discussions concerning a "Planet Hulk" film. Furthermore, the idea of the solo film has no official announcement yet and remains a rumor.
Hulk is not in the "Civil War" as per the comics version, since he was already in space. This viewpoint on The Hulk may lead to the emergence of his solo spin-off movie.
Marvel President Kevin Feige confirmed during the "Guardians of the Galaxy" junket in July 2014 that there were no plans for the said film at the moment. Still, Ruffalo is willing should "Planet Hulk" be part of the growing Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Meanwhile, Feige explained what fans need to know about then future of Marvel films in his interview with MTV. According to the Marvel head, future phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe include notable slates such as "Captain America: Civil War," "Doctor Strange," "Thor: Ragnarok," and "Avengers: Infinity War."
Feige also said that "Captain America 3: Civil War" will star Robert Downey Jr., reprising his role as Tony Star, along with a number of unconfirmed icons in the Marvel Universe such as "Spider-Man." Though the film is going to include various superheroes, the primary focus remains to be the Captain.
Marvel's production team is currently in New York City to scout for buildings as their filming locations for "Doctor Strange." Principal photography will commence in London in November. Feige also added that actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who is playing the titular character, is excited for the film.
The scribes are developing the script for "Thor: Ragnarok." At this point, the production team is in search for the "right person or people" for the upcoming project, as per Feige. Tom Hiddleston's Loki will have an integral role in the forthcoming installment as he along with Chris Hemswroth's Thor make up the greatness of the franchise.
Feige also talked about the two-partite Marvel film, "Avengers: Infinity Wars." The Marvel head said that "Infinity Wars" will not be a single story that is cut into two, but it is going to be two distinct movies with shared elements.
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe expands, Feige suggests that it is not about a surplus of movies, but it is about gliding things around.
"Captain America: Civil War" hits theaters on May 6, 2016 while "Doctor Strange" premieres on Nov. 4, 2016. "Thor: Ragnarok" is slated to premiere on Nov. 3, 2017. "Avengers: Infinity War Part 1" arrives in theaters on May 4, 2018 with "Part 2" entering the scene on May 3, 2019.
Meanwhile, the closest film to see is Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," which hits theaters on May 1.
