The Incredible Hulk (Earth-2021358 film)

The Incredible Hulk is a 2008 film directed by Louis Letterier based on the comic book of the same name as well as the character. The film was the second of the Earth-2021358 Marvel Cinematic Universe that was made by a collaboration joint between Marvel and Universal Studios, who had owned the rights to the character and made the 2003 film Hulk, which was a failure that caused itself to reboot into this movie. It stars Mark Ruffalo, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Ty Burell and Tim Blake Nelson. It was made following the success of Iron Man and though it was unable to surpass that film, it was still a Box Office Success and was met positively critically, as it was called "a good reboot of 2003's what they should rename The Terrible Hulk" and "a Super-Powered Adrenaline Blast". The movie was originally going to star Edward Norton in the lead role, though he was hard to work with but agreed to star in the future appearances of the characters, and for this film offered his friend Mark Ruffalo instead.

The character returned in The Avengers, which came out on May 4, 2012, and a sequel came out on 2015.
