Wake up Mr. Norton, Hulk duties are calling.

Superhero Hype has some good quotes from an SFX magazine interview with Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios (well, until Disney says otherwise, I guess), including some interesting info about the “Avengers” movie.

Feige spoke about how it is important for each upcoming Marvel hero’s film to focus on him, creating a franchise for each character that can stand on its own. While new characters may be introduced in the films, the goal isn’t to overstuff them with “Avengers” oriented material. Feige says:

“…it’s not about just cramming in lots of new people; that’s sort of the cardinal sin of the sequel–adding in too many characters.”

Too bad he wasn’t in charge of “Spider-Man 3.”

Then Feige shed a little more light on the “Avengers” team.

“So by the time ‘The Avengers’ comes in 2012, it’s not just a team superhero movie with a bunch of characters with powers. It’s three people – four including the Hulk; five including Nick Fury – who you’ve seen before in other movies, coming together for the very first time.”

So it appears that Hulk is in the loop; in fact, Feige said that a second Hulk film with Edward Norton isn’t out of the question, but that would take place after the Avengers film (slated for release on May 4, 2012). Feige also said that the “intention” is to use the same actors from film to film, so that would put Norton into Hulk action even earlier. If he is so inclined, of course.
