Seems one of the reasons Marvel haven’t yet greenlit a standalone “Hulk” movie, starring Mark Ruffalo in the title role, is because that’s Universal’s terrain.
A few months back, Ruffalo said “As far as a Hulk movie, a standalone Hulk movie, Marvel doesn’t really have the rights to that yet. That’s still Universal’s property, so there’s that issue. That’s a big impediment to moving forward with that. Now I don’t think that’s insurmountable, by the way, but I don’t know where it’s going from here for me.”
Forbes, however, looked into it and discovered that Marvel actually does have the rights to make a standalone ‘Hulk’ movie – but Universal have first right of refusal on it. If they don’t want it, then Disney can snag it. So sounds like it’s simply a matter of time..
Meantime, it’s been revealed that ‘The Wasp’ will appear in next month’s “Ant-Man”.
In a newly published set-interview, Marvel’s Kevin Feige tells Dark Horizons that “we will see Janet Van Dyne in action in this film. And part of sort of what happened to her. And then we will understand why that is the reason that he doesn’t want his daughter to follow in those footsteps. One of the reasons why he’s always so upset about superheroes in general, dismissive of them in general and also a reason why he doesn’t want her to put on the suit. Another very logical question in the movie is, why are you hiring this ex-con to put on your suit and do this? The answer is, because he has abilities in cracking security networks and in pulling off heists that nobody else has. Which is really why he needs to do it. But Hope is infinitely more capable of actually being a superhero in the beginning of this film, and we learn sort of that that’s ultimately when Hank reveals for the first time for the audience, and even the first time to Hope, what actually happened in the past and why he’s so nervous about putting on that suit. But there are things that we see towards the end of the film that indicate she could, she could get one of her own.”
