Hulk The Villain In Avengers Movie

Now that the initial stages have been set, with Iron Man and The Hulk having already hit the screen this year, Marvel is good to go with setting up The Avengers movie when Captain America and Thor hit the screen. But who would The Avengers fight?

Louis Leterrier spoke about The Hulk being the main bad guy in The Avengers movie. This was brought up before a few months ago, so it's not really new news, but it is something at least the film makers and writers are looking at:

"Iron Man” writers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, who themselves may be writing another Marvel movie in the near future, couldn't agree more, they told MTV News, insisting that everything is building towards making The Hulk the villain in the eagerly anticipated 2011 movie.

“I hope ‘The Avengers’ embraces that,” Fergus said of having the Hulk as misunderstood baddie. “You don’t want like 10 super-bad ass good guys fighting together. Where’s the fun in that? Let’s break it off a little. Friends or colleagues who become enemies is always an interesting thing because you know it’s based on love and friendship and that’s always the worst thing to have turn bad — is someone you actually care about and someone you actually believe in.”

Hulk, of course, has fought nearly every Marvel hero at some point in the comics, and because he already had his own movie, wouldn’t need to be set-up in the new one. In fact, all the hard work is already done.

“I left the door open for whoever’s going to direct ‘The Avengers’ with our last shot. Edward [Norton] and I, we consciously decided to make the last shot of the movie when he opens his eyes and he smirks at the camera,” Leterrier told us. “Is he enjoying it? Is he malicious? That’s what’s great about Edward. You don’t know if he’s a good guy or bad guy. He’s always on this edge and we have been sort of surfing that edge, that very thin edge during the entire movie.”

I'd love to see Thor and Hulk go at it while Captain America stands there and throws his stupid shield and barks orders at everyone, finally ending with Iron Man shooting a repulsor ray right up his ass while Ant Man flies into his pee pee hole and grows to full size as Giant Man. That would hurt!
