Arad Explains HULK Origin Changes
Marvel Studios head Avi Arad talks about why they're changing the origin in the upcoming THE HULK.
Sci Fi Wire had the word:
Marvel Studios honcho Avi Arad, executive producer of the upcoming comic-book adaptation Hulk, told SCI FI Wire that the film changes the character's origin story to bring it closer to reality. "We just take the science fiction and bring it closer to science," Arad said in an interview while promoting the film. "It's very much in the origin that Bruce Banner actually had contamination, so something triggered this. And what we wanted to do is take it to the next level of intelligence. It's not that he got his toe in the door and, 'Oh my God. I'm the Hulk.'"
Arad, who has overseen such page-to-screen projects as Spider-Man, X-Men and Daredevil, said that there have been several origin stories and incarnations of the Hulk during the comic series' long run. "There are many origins," he said. "When you publish for 40 years, there are a lot of stories. There's a gray Hulk, there's a green Hulk, there's a speaking Hulk, there's a singing Hulk." According to Arad, any one of these incarnations may appear in a potential Hulk sequel, which is currently being developed by screenwriter James Schamus. Hulk opens June 20.
**NOTE** Lets hope that "incarnation" in the sequal will NOT be the singing Hulk
