Although the newest Incredible Hulk movie was a superior film to Ang Lee's previous attempt in many ways there was one thing that aggravated me as a fan more than anything else... Tim Toth's "Abomination".
Having changed the Abomination's classic look to a more bone covered/ augmented human look, moving away from the more amphibian/ reptilian/ scaled looking version seen in the comics over the years, the movie lost me as a die hard comic fan when he appeared on screen. The character was an obvious choice for Louis Leterrier as the Hulk's nemesis for the film, but when you mess about with the look of a character that has been one way for decades, just for artistic license for the movie's believability factor; that's a bad thing in my book.
Either way it seems that Tim Roth has been signed up for three Marvel movies... Could we be seeing the Abomination return in a future Hulk movie? In the Avengers maybe? Or even a cameo in Thor, Captain America, or a third Iron Man movie? That's unknown for now, but here's what Tim had to say about being asked to appear in future movies:
"They have, but in a very different way," Roth said in a group interview at the Television Critics Association summer press tour Thursday in Pasadena, Calif., where he was promoting his Fox series Lie to Me. "I don't want to get into it, but they signed me up for three [films]."
Could that include two more Hulks, one Avengers and one Hulk or just two Avengers?
"It could be anything," Roth said in response.
For the record Edward Norton (Bruce Banner in the newest Hulk movie) hasn't confirmed either way whether he'll be returning to the role, either in a Hulk sequel, or in the Avengers movie... Strange, but we'll see how this all pans out, hopefully very soon!
