Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk was a vast improvement on Ang Lee’s Hulk from five years previous. OK, so it didn’t really do any better at the box office, but the story was better, the acting was stronger, and the whole thing worked much better.

Unfortunately, Hollywood really only cares about bottom line these days, so a sequel isn’t guaranteed. But Tim Roth, who starred alongside Edward Norton in the movie, is definitely up for more. And if it isn’t more Hulk, other Marvel movies will do.

He told MTV Splash Page:

“Yeah, we’ve talked about it — I’ve talked about it with Marvel. When you do your deal, you sign up for three [films]. So, I’ve done the one … and basically, I don’t know what they have planned, but they can bring me back.”

“What they’re doing now is … putting these characters together in different ways. With the Sam Jackson thing, and having [Robert Downey Jr.] come in at the end of ‘Incredible Hulk’ was the first clue to that — and I don’t know if they want to bring [Blonsky] back, but I told them I’m absolutely game for it. It would be so much fun to do it again. I’m in it for three.”

“What’s been really interesting [about recent superhero movies] is, they’re taking these heavy-weight actors and turning them into these characters, and populating a very bizarre world. They’re brilliant, but they also entertain the kids, and I think it’s a very smart move … yet you’re still running around like a kid in them.”

Roth clearly enjoyed his time working on The Incredible Hulk, and wouldn’t he? It must be a breath of fresh air for these kinds of actors to take a break from serious dramas and play a more fun and frivolous character in a comic-book movie.

I personally hope there is a sequel to The Incredible Hulk, and I’d like to see both Norton and Roth back.
