It looks like Marvel has scored some very notable talent for its first live-action TV endeavor since the Disney acquisition. Deadline is reporting that Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro is teaming with Battlestar Galactica executive producer David Eick for a new take on The Incredible Hulk

According to Deadline , the series "is expected to draw on previous comic book incarnations, as well as the original 1978-82 Incredible Hulk TV series, with a few wild tweaks on the old look." While they say that details of the new Hulk are sketchy, they hear it will "follow an origin story" and feature Bruce Banner in his mid-20s in a story where he is "less reactive and more energized as the world is still his oyster."Unlike the all CGI Hulk seen in the films, the TV series will combine "a mixture of prosthetics, puppetry and CGI."Eick and del Toro are developing the pilot storyline together, and will share story by and created by credit. Eick will write the script and del Toro may direct the pilot, depending on his schedule.Don't expect this new Hulk series soon, however. Deadline says the series is not expected to launch until after the Hulk appears in the live-action The Avengers film, opening summer 2012, with the Hulk series presumably aiming to debut fall 2012 on ABC.Also executive producing are del Toro's manager and producing partner Gary Ungar, as well as Marvel's Jeph Loeb and Joe Quesada Deadline reveals del Toro has long been interested in the Hulk, attempting to direct a film version back in 2002. Del Toro tells Deadline that he and Eick "coalesced a respectful but powerful way of retelling the Banner/Hulk story in a fresh way."
