First Hulk pic …sort of

Looks like Marvel got a little jealous with all the attention DC is hogging by releasing THE DARK KNIGHT tidbits like they’re white doves, because today we get our first teaser pic of the new Hulk, in next summer’s THE INCREDIBLE HULK. This is not an official online release from the studio. Instead, Universal unveiled the poster at the New York City Licensing show and Wizard posted it online. As far as I can tell, the Hulk’s body shape is very similar to the previous film, although this time he appears to be all black and completely featurless, which to me came as a geniuine shock. Oh no wait, that’s a silhouette. Rrrright. Looks cool so far. Director Louis Leterrier is said to be creating this Hulk out of a melange of makeup, animatronics, and CGI, whereas the first Hulk was primarily the latter. As we all know, the film stars Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, along with Liv Tyler, William Hurt, and Tim Roth, as Abomination. And as you can tell from the picture, it will be released June 13 of next year.
