With Marvel now part of the Disney (and ABC fold), ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee said today during his Television Critics Association executive session that he’s very eager to bring Marvel characters to the network.
Currently in development are possible TV iterations of THE INCREDIBLE HULK and AKA JESSICA JONES.
“We’re extremely excited about having Marvel in the fold,” says Lee. “With AKA JESSICA JONES and THE HULK, we hopefully have great choices to look at when they come around.”
Lee also adds that he would be a hero to his kids if THE HULK works out.
“If we got the HULK on [the air], my kids would finally be proud of me,” Lee says.
Lee also mentions that Marvel will play a part of CASTLE’s new season in the fall.
“A Marvel character will appear in CASTLE this year in one episode,” adds Lee.

My comments is they need to cast a person like Bruce Banner in the Comics Book and the Tv show. And my advice is they need to have first picked is Edward Norton and Second pick is Danile Radcilff.
They Should First see if Edward Norton wants to reprise the role as Bruce Banner, If hes does’nt want to reprise the role in the New Tv Show then get Danile Radcilff from Harry potter movie.
Del Toro,and David Eick should look for an actor that look like Edward Norton and Bill Bixby not only that could acted but could play the charcter that looks like Edward Norton and Bill Bixby too.
I like that they will created the Hulk Different than the pervious Hulk Film in the Movies. They won’t use full CGI,Inseated They will use Prosthetics,Puppetry, and some CGI Specail Effects.
I will say that the Incredible Hulk new live action TV series will be popular if they used the same cast from the 2008 Film like Edward Norton Liv Tlyer William Hurt Tim Roth Tim Blake Nelson Ty Brurell.
Guillermo Del Toro will be making a Incredible Hulk live action TV series coming in 2012 they will cast Bruce Banner in his mid 20’s or have a actorlooklike his mid 20’s but they shouldnt reboot the TV Series but they should have the same Bruce Banner from the 2008 Film which is Ed Norton and Del Toro should discuss giving Ed Norton and Liv Tyler a contract to New live Action Television Series coming in the fall of 2012.
Doesn’t matter if that actor looks like Bill Bixby thats just casting for appearance over quailty just because that actor looks like the Bixby Banner doesn’t mean he can act it or have the acting chops to deliver it.
Just f****** cast a good actor who looks the character not some Bixby lookalike.
It does matter who they cast as Bruce Banner because people wanted to see Ed Norton or some that looks like Norton.
It does matter who they cast because they need to have the right cast and creatively.
If they get either some body that looks like Bill Bixby and Edward Norton or get Ed Norton the series will be successfully.
Having a new cast is more likely because Del Toro and Eick would want to do their own creative blueprint and would be separating themselves from previous live action Hulk TV and movie adaptations.
I think they need to have same cast or don’t have betty Ross at all.But have a good cast like the 2008 Film but they need take their time to see who out their that looks like Bill Bixby.
I was hoping the Hulk would be a guy in a prosthetic muscle suit like what Del Toro did with Hellboy possible played by the same actor who’s playing Bruce Banner.
The Hulk is not in a suit at all its in a prosthetics Puppetry robotic costume.
The New live action Incredible Hulk will coming in this Fall of 2012. I know that Jeph Leob wants to some one that looks like Bill Bixby and Knows how to act petty well.
Guillermo Del Toro needs to save money on the new cast and have the cast from 2008 Film so the TV Film will win if they save on casting new, actor’s and not to reboot the New Hulk TV show at all.
I don’t like when they are rebooting the Hulk TV series when its not imporant because the need to contract the same cast that did very well in The Incredible Hulk movie with Edward Norton and Liv Tyler that Del Toro should be explaining about.
They need to save there money first on the 2008 Film to see if they want to do a Hulk TV series if they want to then don’t reboot the New Hulk series.
Edward Norton isn’t the only actor in the world who can play Bruce Banner doesn’t matter if he’s good in the role when an actor can’t play the role anymore you move forward with someone else thats what recasting in movie and TV franchises do, it’s what happened with Batman and they didn’t ask Michael Keaton back for Batman Begins and its what Lois & Clark TV series did and they didn’t go after Christopher Reeve or Margot Kidder for the roles.
Casting is not about holding out they always cast on who’s best people you can get.
Don’t just cast any actor that don’t look like character and that can related to the Bruce Banner character.
I do but all you care about is paying a homage to the old series without any care of updating it for a modern audience.
No you playing games with me and don’t take me serouisly.
Having a new cast is just a way to separate themselves from previous live action Hulk TV and movie adaptations.
Doesn’t make any difference on how great the old series is, Del Toro said he wants to do his own spin on the character because it is necessary to move forward and make a live action version of the Hulk that is distinctive by coming up with a different way to present the character.
They need to have same casts from 2008 Film will be important then having the New Cast.
They’re for the films not television.
Tne new series isn’t the old series or the 2008 film it is it’s own thing going it’s own way with the Hulk with some care of a story and what the characters represent.
They need to have another homage TV series and a comic book homage with a mixtures.
Stop trying make it nostalgic it would just hold it back in doing anything new or creative or going a different way with the character.
Stop your stupidness about the nostalgic the New Hulk live action series will like the orignal Hulk TV series.
From Del Toro.
“We delivered the screenplay to the network. I have a very specific idea of how to do it, and we’re waiting for the green light. We know all the iterations of the Hulk pretty good. We’ve read all the essential stories, and we’re then riffing on that. There are so many incarnations and ideas. Jeph Loeb — who did a good run [on Hulk: Grey] — is involved, and I love Peter David’s Hulk. But there’s really no part in that mythos that we don’t know, so we are trying put our own personal spin on it”.
I belive there will another Incredible Hulk 2 with Edward Norton in it.And you better know that the New Hulk series needs no new cast instead have the same one will save money on the new casts.
The new series has nothing to do with the 2008 hulk, it’s going it’s own way with the character, a new cast is just a count on it being a different take on the Hulk.
There are times were you have to move forward with a new cast.
The Homage of the Brady Buch and starksy and Hutch was another Homage like The Incredible Hulk 2008 Film now it should be blending with New Hulk TV show coming in 2012.
Not have it be a cheap carbon copy of the old series.
They said last year they were going to do the Hulk using prosthetics and puppetry with a mix of CG now they say they’re reusing the CG Hulk from the Avengers to cut costs.
A similar thing happened with the 2008 hulk film were they planned to have prosthetics and puppetry with a mix of CG but went with full CG Hulk.
The New Hulk TV show and mixtures of very elements like Del Toro mention on video and will live in the real world like the orignal Hulk in the late 70s like Lou Ferrigno.
They didn’t said that they say the 2008 Hulk movie creation will have a some prosthetics and animations mix with full CGI.
They didn’t say that they will use mixture of CGI and puppetry and prosthetics in the 2008 Film they said they was going to use Full CGI and motion capture by painting the actor’s like mark Ruffalo in the avengers. That’s what they need with Edward Norton in 2008 Film.
Well they said it on wikipedia.
There’ve been some bad castings of lookalikes of classic actors in iconic roles like the JJ Abrams Star Trek and Brandon Routh as Superman because he lookeed like Christopher Reeve.
They just need an actor that looks like Bruce Banner.
No it really have been it has very good cast in star trek in 2008 like the Hulk2008 Film.
David Eick is probably going do the Hulk the same he did Battlestar Galactica, the 2004 Battlestar was completely different from the original because he had a different conception on how he wanted to presented it,updating it for a new generation by putting on a different style.
They will do the Hulk differently than battlestar Galactica and better than too as well. Don’t forget that Lou Ferrigno will do the voice to the Hulk on Tv show and is still in good shape to play the role through motion capture.
So far they’ve delivered the pilot script to the network and waiting for a greenlight.
It’s going to very successful and a winner like the orignal series.
Lou played the Hulk in every live action version and the 1996 cartoon so it’s nothing new.
They’ve said casting starts early in the new year.
Don’t talk about Lou Ferrigno like that he’s a very success than you imagen and if you talk Lou then you talking about my second older brother in st.croix Usvi.
The new series is going to be based on a different premise than the old series which was just the Hulk fighting criminals and being chased by a reporter, the new series is going to focus more on the relationship between Bruce Banner and Betty Ross and set in the early days of the Hulk.
They should have the same cast like I mention so,and don’t insult Lou Ferrigno as playing the Hulk.
What I’m saying is look at other opinions objectively. Are just afaid of a 4th actor playing Banner and 3rd actress playing Betty in ten years?
Not really at all because that the Hulk New series don’t have to get a 4th actor at all because they don’t have experience like the second actor that played in the last Hulk Movie.
Have Banner/Hullk fight other gamma powered enemies unleashed by the same accident that created the Hulk.
He should fight crooks before creatures and mutants. In the old TV series he fights the bear gorilla and the the other Hulk that look like the abomation.
Fighting crooks was the same thing every episode in the old series, it was fine for it’s time but it wouldn’t work today.
Monster of the week seems to be up Del Toro’s alley.
The new series has to be a television reboot it has nothing to do with the movies because it’s a different medium.
It might have something to do with the movies in some ways so don’t say that it doesn’t have some to do with the Hulk movie because it does.
The Incredible Hulk Movie with Edward Norton did a good job so they should hire norton instead of a 4th actors to play David Bruce Banner no more other actors beside Edward Norton play Bruce Banner.
Wrong it should have something to do with 2008 Film because they not sure if the 2008 Film will last Long like the New Hulk TV Series. So no need to reboot the Hulk TV series.
Del Toro said he’s trying to put his own personal spin on the character and he said that the new series will have no movie connection.
They might use Edward Norton in the New Hulk TV Series because the Hulk movie in 2008 Film was better than the first Hulk Movie.
It doesn’t make any different on how good it is.
yes it does make differents who playing the character and very creatively a perfect match to the Bruce Banner and Betty Ross,thats why they need Ed Norton and Liv tyler in the New Hulk Series.
Del Toro said also that he’s inspired by Peter David and Jeph Loeb’s work.
Have Rick Jones be in the series because he was never used in either of the Hulk movies.
Rick Jones could be like John Connor, a rebellious teen on a motorcycle who helps out with Banner on his search for a cure and the guilt that he messed up his life by going out on a testing range only to be saved by Bruce and get zapped by gamma rays.
They don’t need rick jones really but put Jack Magee in the New Hulk TV Series with Edward Norton and have somebody that looks like jack colvin like jack nickelson from batman movie was the joker.
Jack magee is the national register investgater thats trying to trap David Bruce Banner and The Incredible Hulk too with a dark gun,and its better to have jack nickelson or somebody that looks like magee that could play jack colvin.
They need to have General Ross hunting the Hulk.
Having it more like the old series would be wasting ideas for the sake of a homage.
I think they should wait until the summer fall to cast the actors.
Glenn Talbot be a main villain in the series, he’ll relentlessly hunt the Hulk and have a romantic interest in Betty.
They need the Hulk to first fight crooks then fight creatures.
Fighting criminals was the same thing every episode like a dirty union leader trying to destroy a oil rig or something,it was ok for it’s time but nowdays you story arcs not episodic stuff and expandation of ideas.
Guillermo Del Toro needs to cast the same cast from The Incredible Hulk 2008 Film with Edward Norton the lead and Liv Tyler.
Like Gale Anne Hurd said there’s nobody thats a perfect fit like Edward Norton to play David Bruce Banner.
They will probably will start the casting late instead early because there looking hard enough to find someone to play David Bruce Banner like Bill Bixby.
They looking for someone that looks like Bill Bixby like Edward Norton or some one else.
Thats why they didn’t cast anyone yet unit they find somebody to replace Bill Bixby and they got Edward Norton to replace Bixby because they looks like very much and Norton is a writer producer better than Mark Ruffalo.
Thats why they need Edward Norton as David Bruce Banner in the New Hulk TV Series in 2012,because marvel entertainment always attend The Incredible Hulk 2008 Film become a New Hulk TV Series for 2012.
I think Jeph Leob is trying Hire somebody to play David Bruce Banner like Edward Norton or somebody to play that looks alot like Bill Bixby.
The reason the series is late because they’re wanting for the Avengers to come out god knows why.
I’m in st.croix USVI I saw my second older brother name Gino and remind me of Lou Ferrigno
because my brother is the same
size of ferrigno solid.
After his creative differences with Marvel which has been happening lately with Marvel with directors.
They said their getting it ready for this year’s pilot season.
Wanting Edward Norton would be hurting the project by holding out.
Edward Norton is a team player because he’s a wonderful man like myself.
If they could find a actor that looks like Bill Bixby alot in his mid 20’s that will be very good or get Edward Norton will be better.
I think it is necessary to move forward with a new cast especially on television no matter how much the other people are loved.
I think they need to start were they left off from 2008 Film The Incredible Hulk.
Their already doing that with the Avengers.
They said the series is a origin story at the very beginning of the Hulk’s existence before he went on the run besides superheroes seem to be more interesting in their origins.
I’m in St.croix my older brother looks very much like Lou ferrigno from the back of his head and his back too but don’t piss him off.
hes my second oldest brother in st.croix name Gino Edwards hes solid just like Lou Ferrigno.
Del Toro said he’s trying to put his own personal spin on the character and he said that the new series will have no movie connection.
Del Toro said also that he’s inspired by Peter David and Jeph Loeb’s work.
I want to say that I seen Gino and my father furnal and looks like the Incredible Hulk by his personality and his senstivity.
Both Del Toro and Eick have a creative responsibility, if they want to establish their own Hulk community on television Marvel would’ve gone along with it.
Del Toro’s plans for the series sound like a more original, modern retelling of the Hulk’s origins.
They are telling the story about Bruce and Betty Love story when Betty didn’t know how Bruce Banner Become the Hulk.
Yes in a way that wasn’t told before in live action.
The pilot is said to be airing soon after The Avengers in the pilot season and first season in the Autumn.
They are sort of waiting for the Avengers to come out in May to start casting and production on the Hulk series.
Del Toro has been busy with other projects like Pacific Rim and what about David Eick he’s in on it too and he is doing the Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome TV series.
They’re taking all the Marvel TV show slow to get them right, Loeb’s answer in a update is always the same “we’re in development” they said they were going for the 2012-13 season but now the pilot season has ended they may say next year but then the next and the next.
Jeph Leob said that marvel TV series still out there in production,but making sure that they get the Hulk creation with the CGI and Mixture to go with the New cast like I’ve mention about having suitable cast members fully right.
Development not production.
There was no anouncement back in January that it was greenlit so they might greenlght it next January which is the time of the year were pilots and TV shows get greenlit.
Because of the success of The Avengers they hope now to have a another solo Hulk movie by 2015.
Updates are not predictions things are liable to change.
Marvel The New Hulk series will spinoff into a Incredible Hulk 2 Sequel to 2008 Film that means Edward Norton will be returning for a Hulk Sequel.
How do we know that, it’s just speculation.
Here’s a link saying about a solo Hulk movie in 2015 and the show could be at 2013.
http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2012/04/30/another-solo-hulk-movie-could-be-happening-after-all-in-2015/
It maybe in develpment for 2013-14 season but Jessica Jones is stalled.
Because of the success of The Avengers they may’ve decided to fast track it.
At least ABC still wants to do it. Paul Lee did say if they can’t do it sell it to another network like Fox, NBC, CBS.
But there are some factors on will they be able to do at the same time of the Avengers 2 and the proposed Hulk movie with Mark Ruffalo or be able to do it on a TV budget.
And we won’t get The Punisher show which just in name only and was going to be a typical cop show, Frank Castle was a cop by day, a vigilante by night and why they want to do a Punisher TV series when they want to change the basics? why don’t they come up with their own stories, why bother making it when you wanna change everything?.
Mark Ruffalo said that he will not be involve with the New Hulk series at all Ruffalo said Ruffalo.
Acutally he signed a six film contract to appear Avengers sequels and possible another solo Hulk movie.
We think it’s obvious it’s going to be a new actor playing Bruce Banner on television like always.
No it will be possiblity a Avengers 2 and 3 4 and two more films which its not a Hulk movie.
Ruffalo has been praised universally for his performance and is set to star in a Hulk sequel for 2015.
No he’s not mcdonnell going to reprise the role said Gale Anne Hurd the producer of The Incredible Hulk. Stop with the rumors mcdonnell.
Hurd saying that Norton is gonna return was 4 years ago before they got rid of him. Theres talk about Ruffalo having his own Hulk movie and your just going by statments that are 4 years out of date.
All the other characters in The Avengers and their solo movies were not played by two separate actors simultaneously, so thats means that Mark Ruffalo might do a Hulk movie of his own.
Just because Mark Ruffalo is playing the Bruce Banner /Hulk does’nt means he going to be The Hulk in a Hulk solo. Go to http://www.marvelcomicsfanon.wiki.com and http://www.marvelmovies.wki.com it tells you that mark ruffalo rumor as the Hulk means that he will not reprise the role in a Hulk solo.
Think with Del Toro involved he’ll make it more of a monster oriented series?
Del Toro has been busy with Pacific Rim and now has Pinocchio and Beauty & the Beast possibly lined up right after it, so would he have time to do a Hulk TV series?.
They are waiting for writer said Guillermo Del toro it might be Joss Wedon might write the screenplay and script for The Incredible Hulk new series in 2013.
We ready know that, if it’s Joss Whedon.
Del Toro has said that his vision of The Hulk will be entirely separate from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Hulk http://www.comicbookmovie.com/hulk/news/?a=64151

A quasi sequel to the Bixby/ Ferrigno series you wouldn’t have to worry about being faithful to the Marvel universe, only have David Banner and Jack McGee.
Edward Norton no longer interested in superhero roles and comicbook films.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=65614
That’s a rumor Norton didn’t said that I don’t know we’re that’s coming from I know it’s a true rumor means that he didn’t say anything like that.
I believe that Edward Norton will be in a Incredible Hulk 2 because its a man on the run storyline means that Edward Norton will be back to reprise the role.
I saw Edward Norton in the Bourne Legacy the guy from the Avengers 2012. Norton told Jeremy off in that film that’s how bad is Norton. Ed Norton is nobody to play with. Norton is a better Bruce Banner actor than Ruffalo is. Edward Norton sharper edge role than Mark Ruffalo.
Edward Norton said that he likes to compare his character from the Bourne Legacy to the Hulk halmet.
I saw in the news article that they bringing out a reboot movie called robocop and Edward Norton is going to reprise his role and will play himself as Norton in robocop reboot.
I read about the Incredible Hulk 2 that it will connected with the Incredible Hulk New TV series in http://www.marvelmovieswiki.com
Heres a link to the new series on Internet movie data base saying it will not tie into the Marvel movie continuity http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2368139/
Del Toro has said before the show will not be connected to the Marvel Movie universe.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=64151
Here’s from Marvel Movies Wiki saying during the writing and filming processes, Norton had tried to take control of the script because he wanted to re-do the origin story and demanded to be credited as a writer. He was also difficult to work with during filming, something he is notoriously known for doing, and barely promoted the film during post-production.
http://marvel-movies.wikia.com/wiki/Bruce_Banner#Trivia
They got rid of Norton and replaceed him with Ruffalo it’s what recasting in movie franchises do with, it’s what happened with Batman and Michael keaton wasn’t going around saying ” I quitting the role after two films and I’m still contracted to do more” franchises aren’t about staying put on the same people they leave to do other things and the studio bring in new actors and director end of story.
Norton and Marvel had a falling over how The Incredible Hulk should be, what cold they do to have him after that, it’s moving forward here someone who can’t be a team member like Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth let him go.Quotes from Gale Hurd from four years don’t count as fact now because things change.
On wikipedia on Hulk in other media saids that Mark Ruffalo is set to star in a possible sequel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_in_other_media#Live-action
What we know so far about the show is it’s not going to be connected to the Marvel movie universe, it will focus on the relationship between Bruce Banner and Betty Ross, the Hulk will created either by a mix of practial effects and CGI or reusing the Hulk from The Avengers and might use Red Hulk as a main villain.
Before they said about recycling the Avengers Hulk(Problem about reusing the Hulk from The Avengers is that he looks like Mark Ruffalo) Del Toro said the Hulk would be a mix of prosthetics and CGI wither they’re still going by that we don’t know?
If the Hulk is going to be a mix of prosthetics and CGI it would mean that Hulk would be a guy in a green muscle suit and the transformations will be CG.
