According to Daniel RPK, Logan Kim—who plays Podcast in Ghostbusters—has been cast as Amadeus Cho a.k.a. Brawn a.k.a. The Totally Awesome Hulk.

No details have been revealed as to where the series wants to introduce Amadeus Cho, but if I were to make a guess, it’s possible that they would want him to be a member of the Young Avengers. Then again, that group’s Hulk in the comics is Teddy Altman a.k.a. Hulkling, who is in a romantic relationship with Billy Kaplan/Wiccan, and is actually a Skrull/Kree hybrid—which explains why he’s green and strong.

If anything, Marvel is known to mix things up a bit, and it’s possible that they would just want a newer Hulk character to fill in that role for Young Avengers. Then again, Hulkling and Wiccan have been a couple for so long in the comics that there are sure to be fans upset if they don’t introduce Teddy and replace him with Amadeus.

Going back to the character of Amadeus, he’s considered to be one of the smartest people in the Marvel universe, and much like She-Hulk, he retains his personality and temperament when he’s Hulk/Brawn. With newer characters like Kamala Khan making the jump to live-action, Amadeus is sure to be a fun addition to the MCU. Let’s just hope we don’t have to wait too long before he shows up.

My fingers are still crossed for a Gwenpool introduction soon. How about an animated series?

For now, get your Hulk fix with She-Hulk: Attorney at Law now streaming on Disney+.

Could Harrison Ford Replace William Hurt as Thunderbolt Ross? https://www.geekfeed.com/harrison-ford-play-thunderbolt-ross/ Sun, 02 Oct 2022 14:58:12 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=71362 We were introduced to Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross in The Incredible Hulk back in 2008, and though he has only recently re-emerged in the MCU, we probably won’t be seeing him again since actor William Hurt died last March. With the incoming Thunderbolts movie though, word is going around that Marvel has found someone else to take on the role for Hurt.

According to The Ankler’s Jeff Sneider, Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones, Star Wars) is currently being eyed to take over the role of Thunderbolt Ross in the MCU. So far, this is just a rumor, but he does seem to be the perfect actor to take over the part. He already played some kind of military leader character in Ender’s Game.

If anything, I think Ford would be great as this anti-Nick Fury who brings together a group of villains to do some dirty work. If anything, they can re-ignite Ross’ grudge on Bruce Banner, and maybe we can even see Ross turn into the Red Hulk like he did in the comics. I wouldn’t know if Ford would be open for that kind of role though, but it would be fun to watch him lose his cool and Hulk out onscreen.

Then again, this is just a rumor. At some point, I think fans were already resigned to the idea of having Ross appear in the MCU again, but having Ford onboard could really change the direction of the character moving forward. Hopefully we get an official update soon.

Thunderbolts hits theaters on July 26, 2024.

Mark Ruffalo Allegedly in Talks to Reprise Hulk for Captain America 4 https://www.geekfeed.com/mark-ruffalo-allegedly-in-talks-to-reprise-hulk/ Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:15:48 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=71335 We don’t know if we’ll ever get a Hulk solo movie, but the character has found ways to make it to the big screen, like with his appearance in Thor: Ragnarok. Now word has it that Ruffalo’s Hulk could be making an appearance in another Marvel solo movie.

According to Screen Geek, Mark Ruffalo is currently in talks to appear in the upcoming Captain America: New World Order. Nothing official has been confirmed, but with the movie said to be bringing back Tim Blake Nelson’s The Leader from The Incredible Hulk, it would make sense that Bruce Banner would make some kind of appearance.

In The Incredible Hulk, Samuel Sterns was another scientist who was in correspondence with a Bruce Banner, secretly helping him find a cure to his gamma radiation condition. While Banner was clearly afraid of the Hulk, Sterns was shown to be actively fascinated by the condition—and after a mishap with the Abomination Emil Blonsky, Sterns found himself infected with Bruce’s blood; teasing his transformation into the Leader.

The ongoing rumor is that the Leader will create a team of new Hulks with the use of She-Hulk’s blood—which has been teased in the Disney+ show. While that does sound like a solid plot, I hope that fans don’t have to watch the series to be able to enjoy Captain America 4. After all, that was the problem with Wanda’s sudden evil turn in Doctor Strange 2; it only made more sense if you watched WandaVision.

If anything, I’m excited for the return of the Leader, and I’m eager to see Hulk take on some kind of supporting role. Let’s just hope Anthony Mackie doesn’t get sidelined in his own movie.

Captain America: New World Order comes to theaters May 3, 2024. For more Hulk, check out She-Hulk: Attorney at Law now streaming on Disney+.

Jen has to Find Wong in New Clip from She-Hulk https://www.geekfeed.com/jen-has-to-find-wong-in-new-clip-from-she-hulk/ Thu, 01 Sep 2022 12:10:46 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=70839 The last episode of She-Hulk had Jennifer Walters coming face to face with Incredible Hulk villain Emil Blonsky, and it looks like we’re going to beseeing more of the Abomination in the next episode.

In a new clip from She-Hulk, we have Jen talking to Blonsky some more and coming to revelation that she has to contact the world’s current Sorcerer Supreme, Wong. Watch this:

I have to say, the character work with Blonsky and the build-up for Wong’s appearance are great. From the soldier that was just obsessed with being the best, Blonsky is revealed to actually have a good reason for wanting out of his incarceration; on the Wong side of things, fans will just get a kick of his implied life outside of the movies, with him being a Target employee and having a LinkedIn account.

Despite the review bombings from angry incels, She-Hulk has been getting a lot of praise with critics. Besides it’s aversion from the tried and tested ‘Marvel formula,’ fans are loving the feminist ideals of Jen, and her take on women and controlling anger. Hopefully we get more of that in the show moving forward.

Though She-Hulk herself is an interesting character, the series has been rife with some interesting cameos. Blonsky and Wong may be in the spotlight this episode, but fans are still waiting for the re-debut of Daredevil in the show.

Tatiana Maslany Liked She-Hulk Because the Character was ‘Unheroic’ https://www.geekfeed.com/tatiana-maslany-liked-she-hulk-for-being-unheroic/ Thu, 18 Aug 2022 03:07:02 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=70586 Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight were pretty traditional when it came to their definition of a superhero, but we’re being promised something different for the upcoming She-Hulk: Attorney at Law series.

Though Jennifer Walters isn’t considered your typical superhuman, this was exactly what attracted lead Tatiana Maslany to the role. Talking to The Guardian, she explains, What drew me to the role is how human and how unheroic she is, and how little interest she has in pursuing all that.”

I guess what the struggle of Jen with her newfound powers is made obvious in the previews, and we even get some pep-talk from the Hulk about Jen being a hero ‘whether she likes it or not.’ I guess this is a chance for Marvel to really challenge their notion of a hero, because even if Iron Man and Captain America can jump around and cause explosions, there is always a group of unsung characters that have to do all the paperwork.

If anything, the series could have something to say about tokenism and feminism in general. When Jen is transformed, she suddenly becomes this mascot for superhumans in the MCU. Maslany explains,She suddenly has this value in terms of optics. She becomes tokenized for her superhero-ness … But I do think there’s been this paradigm shift. It takes time and it’s about finding new ways to tell stories. What made me go: ‘Oh OK, this feels fresh and surprising,’ is that it feels deeply – if I can use a binary term – feminine. There’s a girliness to it. That word is often used as a derisive term, but to me there’s a celebration of female friendship in She-Hulk that’s really fun.”

Hopefully She-Hulk doesn’t disappoint when the series premieres Aug. 17 on Disney+.

Tim Roth Joked around with Mark Ruffalo on the Set of She-Hulk https://www.geekfeed.com/tim-roth-with-mark-ruffalo-on-she-hulk-set/ Mon, 08 Aug 2022 17:16:03 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=70447 We know that Hulk clashed with Abomination in The Incredible Hulk back in 2008, but we weren’t so sure they could be meeting again for the upcoming She-Hulk series. As it turns out, Tim Roth, who plays Emil Blonsky, has confirmed that he has shared the set with Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo—so it’s possible they could be sharing a scene.

Talking to Forbes, Roth talked about how he joked with Ruffalo (possibly referencing him replacing Edward Norton as the Hulk). Roth says:

“Yeah, I was like, ‘You’ve changed.’ (Laughs) It’s kind of fun. We used to hang around and muck about between takes, and we had a nice time. I very much respect Mark as an actor, so even under those bizarre and wonderful circumstances, that one was a treasure.”

If anything, there really isn’t any personal beef between Hulk and Abomination. I guess Blonsky was just really into fighting strong things, and he purposefully put himself in front of the Hulk. Though I expect Blonsky to have some kind of reaction to Bruce, I don’t expect Bruce to really act out when Blonsky is put in front of him; though I wouldn’t be opposed to a Hulk/Abomination rematch.

There are a lot of concerns over She-Hulk from CG to having a superhero/lawyer show, but I’m willing to walk into the series with optimism. Tatiana Maslany has been getting a lot of praise, and the She-Hulk character has been nothing but stunning in the previews.

Fleabag was One of the Inspirations For She-Hulk https://www.geekfeed.com/fleabag-was-one-of-the-inspirations-for-she-hulk/ Wed, 27 Jul 2022 05:39:10 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=70264 Deadpool may be the king of fourth wall breaking, but Jennifer Walters managed to do the same in the latest trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. What’s interesting is, the series is actually drawing inspiration from another hit show starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Talking to Total Film (via Games Radar), head writer Jessica Gao reveals that Fleabag was a big inspiration for the series. Star Tatiana Maslany also added, “The irreverence of [Fleabag] and the sense of humor… there’s a lot there that I can definitely see that they drew from as inspiration.”

Though Marvel properties are usually filled with ‘end-of-the-world’ stakes, Gao talks about how She-Hulk as a series will focus on the more day-to-day aspects of the characters in the MCU. Gao explains:

“Because the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe has already done a fantastic job of huge action, enormous stakes… It’s always the fate of the universe, the fate of the free world. But that can’t be every single day. What happens in between those movies when these characters just have to live their lives, when they have to go on dates, when they have to go grocery shopping, when they have to see their family at a reunion?”

I’m already loving the angle, and after the usual stakes with properties like Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel, I’m eager to watch a character like Jen just working hard and trying to make sense of this world full of superhumans.

She-Hulk Director Addresses CGI Backlash https://www.geekfeed.com/she-hulk-director-addresses-cgi-backlash/ Mon, 18 Jul 2022 02:16:28 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=70065 When the She-Hulk trailer first dropped, a lot of fans came online to complain about the sub-par CG that was being used for the show. With some thinking that the series was dead before it even got to air, director Kat Coiro talks about why she thinks there is backlash on Jennifer Walters’ look.

Talking to SFX Magazine (via GamesRadar), Coiro thinks that it could have something to do with how different She-Hulk looks compared to the Hulk or Thanos. Coiro explains:

“I think a lot of the reactions have to do with the fact that she is so different than anything we’ve seen… When you think of Thanos or Hulk, they have a grisliness and a harshness and a bulkiness to them that is just so different. And when you just see a little pop of her, it’s almost shocking because we haven’t seen it before.”

When it comes to these CG-heavy shows, I always like to keep an open mind when it comes to the visuals, especially since we know that sometimes unfinished shots can make it to the trailer. I mean, Sonic the Hedgehog had an entirely changed the model in the final movie compared to the first trailer. I’m sure that She-Hulk will look fine when we see her in the series premiere.

If anything, Coiro assures the audience that a lot of care has been taken when it comes to She-Hulk’s CG look. Coiro says that she’s worked closely with the president of VFX and Animation at Marvel Studios Victoria Alonso. Coiro says, “She has such an incredible eye, and to me a lot of that eye comes from this very emotional gut reaction that she has, which is backed by decades of technical expertise… What I think is so cool is she keeps this real emotional reaction to the VFX. Watching her work has taught me so much about why something works and why it doesn’t; why does it go into uncanny valley? And it always comes back to the actor’s performance and capturing that.”

If anything, even the VFX guys at Corridor Crew don’t think that She-Hulk looks that bad. I guess it’s pretty easy to hate on something when there’s a bunch of fans that are going against the ‘woke agenda’ that She-Hulk is allegedly pushing.

She-Hulk comes to Disney+ on Aug. 17.

She-Hulk Official Synopsis May Have Been Leaked https://www.geekfeed.com/she-hulk-official-synopsis-may-have-been-leaked/ Tue, 17 May 2022 11:06:10 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=65234 Marvel is already buttering up its audience for the release of Ms. Marvel next month, but fans are wondering when they’re going to get a look at the Gamma-powered attorney, She-Hulk. While Marvel has been mum about the subject, a synopsis for the show has seemingly leaked online.

The She-Hulk synopsis was said to have been spotted on the Disney+ UK page, but it looks like it’s been deleted. Luckily, ComicBookMovie has managed to nab the text. It reads:

“This new comedy series sees Bruce Banner help his cousin, Jennifer Walters, when she needs an emergency blood transfusion and guess what? She receives his powers too… Tatiana Maslany will play Jennifer, who is a lawyer specialising in superhuman-oriented legal cases. Mark Ruffalo is back as the Hulk alongside Tim Roth, who plays the Abomination.”

This pretty much tracks the information we already know about the She-Hulk , but it also confirms that Jennifer Walters specializes in cases concerning super-humans. We don’t know which clients she could take on in the show, but there’s certainly a lot of room to introduce new heroes as well as give cameos to some more established ones.

One character that a lot of fans are hoping for an k appearance is Matt Murdock, who we already saw in Spider-Man: No Way Home. While action scenes are expected to be heavy with every Marvel property, I was kind of hoping that She-Hulk was more of a comedy with some superpowers here and there.

Until we get a first look, all we can really do is guess.

Catch She-Hulk when it comes to Disney+ sometime this year.
