There's no denying that Mark Ruffalo's Hulk was one of the standouts in Marvel's The Avengers. The character has definitely struggled in the past, but many fans have since gotten on board with the idea of giving the Jade Giant another solo round on screen. Although Marvel head Kevin Feige has said a Ruffalo Hulk movie is definitely within the realm of possibility, it wouldn't be something they'd attempt until after The Avengers 2

Let's Talk Planet Hulk and Movie Rumors in General

Earlier this week, director Joss Whedon shared his own thoughts on the matter, noting that another Hulk film could potentially work -- but not without some clever innovation."Hulk is a tricky son of a bitch. He's the Claudio of superheroes," Whedon said at the Glasgow Film Festival on Sunday. "Because the problem is it's a very popular character, but it's not a superhero. Half of it's a superhero, half of it's a werewolf. And you can't structure it like a superhero movie, you can’t light it like a superhero movie. How do you develop that? It would be extremely difficult. The one thing you would have in your favour would be Mark Ruffalo. But right now I don’t know if they have plans to do that or not, because he works so well as part of a greater whole, but by himself, it's tough. I don’t envy the guys who went before."In the meantime, Marvel's first Phase 2 movie, Iron Man 3, opens May 3. The Avengers 2, meanwhile, is slated for May 1, 2015.Via Geek Chocolate
