A solo Incredible Hulk film has been one of the toughest nuts to crack. The first two solo films didn’t help establish the green beast as a franchise hero, but once played by Mark Ruffalo in The Avengers, audiences were clamoring for a new Hulk solo film to happen. At times we’ve heard nothing about a Hulk solo film, other times we would hear there would be none.

Consider this latest bit to fall in neither category, just don’t get too optimistic about it. Ruffalo has confirmed that there are talks of churning out at least one Hulk solo film in the near future. Hit the jump for more and to see a video of the chat with Ruffalo.

The fine folks at Shout Factory, along with Marvel Knights, have come together to bring the 6-issue comic book miniseries of Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk to life and onto your TV screen with the Marvel Knights: Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk motion comic.

When the comic book series initially came out, I picked up the first couple of issues, mostly because I wanted to see what Damon Lindelof (Lost) would bring to the table. But as with many comic book titles, a series of delays turned this into a four-year run. But now I can see what I missed, and see it come to life without having to track down the rest of the print run.

Marvel Comics has relaunched their Marvel #1 promotion, where the publisher is giving new and long-time Marvel Comics fans the opportunity to read 700 classic and modern first issues of their comics for free.

These issues are of course digital versions of these comics that will be made available through Marvel’s various digital outlets. The publisher’s first attempt at releasing these comics was met with such a huge crush of fans that crashed the system. After some retooling and an all-new plan, the free #1’s are back.

Back in September, Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige stated that he had a couple of ideas for a Hulk movie. A solo film for Marvel’s green muscle bound hero has had some mild success, but for the most part the hero has been the most difficult to adapt, mostly because Marvel runs the risk of being repetitive in terms of what the Hulk will be doing.

Feige told MTV that Hulk was worthy enough of having his own film, but it was just a matter of finding the right story. Now a report from Latino Review says that Marvel has some big plans for the Hulk. WARNING, spoilers do follow, so if you don’t want to know about what Marvel’s plans has in store for the Hulk, then I suggest you hit that back button. But if you want to know, then hit the jump.

As I have discussed on Disney In Depth recently, the purchase of three key film properties – Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm – that have further realized Disney’s influence in the entertainment industry. Even the 2004 acquisition of The Muppets has forever changed the outlook for Jim Henson’s most adored faces. All of these characters unite the geek community, even those who enjoy Disney. In this edition, I will share some popular YouTube videos that spoof Marvel Studios, Pixar, Muppet, Star Wars and “regular” Disney films by featuring some famous personalities from the whole Disney universe.
