Avengers With A Little Bit Of Green

Written by GL

Zak Penn is a name you might want to remember. Zak Penn is the current screenwriter for The Incredible Hulk. But don't ask Zak Penn if the newest version of the super-bad superhero will be green or grey.

'Of course he’s going to be green,' Penn said, responding to rumors about a color change for the iconic mutant. In fact, Penn himself told film watchdogs that he wants the character to move in the direction of the classic roots of the Lou Ferrigno television show. 'I always felt about Ferrigno and the makeup was a much more naturalistic version of the Hulk. And that’s what we’re trying to go back to. His skin will appear more real,' Penn divulged. 'In the first movie he was so green. He’s not going to be bright green.'

Zak Penn hopes to move the movie towards a more realistic theme. 'It’s not going to have the split screen and all that stuff because it’s more like a real thriller, man on the run, fugitive style movie,' Penn revealed of the plot.

In a few years, the only thing greener than Hulk might be the money the character pulls in. Hulk will most likely also appear in an Avengers movie Penn is scripting, the screenwriter confessed.

'Avengers is definitely going to happen; the idea was always to do a crossover with multiple superheros,' he revealed about Marvel’s answer to DC’s Justice League. 'I’m waiting to let Iron Man and Hulk come out, because those are two characters that could appear in it. I used to think that movie would be impossible to make but now I feel like it’s not.'
