Over the weekend, Marvel launched its official website for "The Avengers" film, which consists mostly of character bios for Iron Man, Cap, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Nick Fury and Loki.
While most of the information given is basic character background stuff (turns out that Tony Stark is wealthy), there are some interesting hints about the still-under-wraps story.

Now that we've finally officially seen Mark Ruffalo's version of the Hulk in the first trailer for "The Avengers," it's time to get to know a little more about the green guy.
The "never before seen" footage from this weekend's New York Comic-Con centered around Black Widow, Bruce Banner and his Avengers recruitment. We saw the strides Banner has made to control his temper, but—as we know from the trailer—things aren't going to stay that way for long.

Wondering what Mark Ruffalo might look like as the Hulk? Wonder no more!
At San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios released a massive "Avengers" poster that revealed concept art for the film's take on the Jade Giant, and according to head honcho Kevin Feige, the final design is meant to reflect the actor's own appearance -- something that hasn't been done in the past, he says.
"The most important thing is that face. As you can already see in that concept painting, it is — more than any Hulk that’s ever been done in live action — a Hulk that let’s you see the actor in there. You will be able to see Ruffalo in there," Feige tells Hero Complex of the new design.

The Hulk seems to have no shortage of fans these days. Besides appearing in “The Avengers,” the previously announced "Hulk" television series is moving forward, according to producer Guillermo Del Toro.
It was first announced last year that “Hellboy” director Guillermo del Toro and “Battlestar Galactica” executive producer David Eick were planning to bring the Hulk back to the small screen. Now that some months have passed, Fear Net asked Del Toro if “Hulk” was still happening.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” the director responded. “We turned in the outline to ABC about four weeks ago. And then we did a rewrite for ABC on the outline, and now we are lining up the pages.” Read More...

“The Avengers” began filming this week, so that means there's even more demand for behind-the-scenes info on Marvel's upcoming team-up event.
MTV News recently sat with Bruce Banner himself, Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo, to learn more about his thoughts on the project. While Ruffalo couldn’t reveal too much, he did give us some hints about what to expect when he joins Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the rest of the team.
“I’m really excited,” he said. “I loved working with Robert Downey [Jr.] and I loved kind of what they’ve done with the genre with ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Batman.’” Read More...

The Incredible Hulk is an iconic character, but he could look a little different when Joss Whedon brings “The Avengers” to the big screen. According to Mark Ruffalo, who will be playing the Hulk in Marvel's superhero team-up film, the green goliath will actually look quite a bit like, well... him.
"No one has asked me to shave my chest yet, thank God,” Ruffalo told The Advocate. “They want this Hulk to be as close to me as possible.”
Back in February, Ruffalo revealed to MTV News that the balance between his screen time as Bruce Banner and his CGI-enhanced alter ego will be "about equal." Read More...

Many iconic comic book characters have depended on lesser-known actors to flesh out their moving-picture identities, but in the last eight years the Hulk has had a rather prestigious list of performers willing to portray one of anger’s most famous incarnations. The latest among them, Mark Ruffalo recently attended the Oscars sporting a nomination for his part in “The Kids Are All Right."
The Telegraph caught up with the actor on the cusp of his nomination, and noted that he was “slim, shortish and seemingly untroubled by anger issues.”
So how will he bulk up to become the Hulk for Marvel's epic tentpole "The Avengers"? Read More...
