It is the overall fifth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a direct sequel to the previous Marvel Entertainment film, The Incredible Hulk. It was released worldwide on November 19th 2010.

Production
The Incredible Hulk 2 was originally disputed by Marvel Studios and Walt Disney, since even though the first film received generally positive reviews, feedback and box office, it still wasn't quite the hit Disney was initially hoping for. But they decided to try again with a sequel, managing to sign on with Louis Leterrier again, with an increased budget.

It was already known from the end-credits scene that The Leader would be the main villain of the movie, and Samuel Sterns' portrayer, Tim Blake Nelson, was very excited and enthusiastic to take on the role, being a fan of Hulk comics as a child. But Leterrier was also interested in a doing a psychological film, and not just having it be "mindless action" as he claimed in his own words. It was later confirmed the film would be adapting the Phyrric Victory Story Arc, causing rumors to begin circulating that the classic Gray Hulk would make an appearance in the film.

It was later confirmed at Comic Con that their would be larger references to the universe in the movie, especially S.H.I.E.L.D. with a confirmed guest appearance from Cobie Smulders, reprising her role as Agent Maria Hill, originally in Black Widow and Hawkeye. The film held principle photography in late 2009, and was released on November 19th 2010 around the world.
