UPDATED: Rumor Mill: _______________ to Appear in The Incredible Hulk

Here is your one and only warning. The following article pertains to a Marvel Character who is rumored to have an appearance in The Incredible Hulk. If you would rather wait and be suprised, just click your back button. If you want to hear this pretty exciting news, scroll down below the poster. And no, it’s not Tony Stark.

In a video interview done with G4’s Attack of the Show, Incredible Hulk directer Louis Leterrier states that you “may” see ol’ Captain America himself in the new Hulk flick.

This doesn’t seem too far fetched considering Captain America’s sheild makes an appearance in Iron Man. Yeah, that’s right, did you all catch it? I would like to say that my robot eyes spotted it, but they didn’t. So for all of you that missed it like I did, here’s a screen cap:

This probably isn’t so much of a rumor since the director himself stated this, but to what extent he will appear will remain a mystery until release. I seriously doubt we see a full fledged Captain America in uniform, but we will just have to wait and see. Even though the first Hulk sucked, Marvel may be on deck with this “do-over” to knock another one out of the park as they start to bring all their heroes to the big screen within the same universe. Luckily, we don’t have to wait that long, The Incredible Hulk opens this Friday.

UPDATE #1: Joblo.com ran our article and added some info to the story:  This story is to be confirmed soon with another Hulk TV spot sometime this week.

UPDATE #2: As reported my cinemablend.com:

Marvel Studios has made no secret out of the fact that they’re angling for the broadest possible appeal with their superhero movies. When you’re trying to make your movie all things to everyone there will be, inevitably, casualties. In the case of The Incredible Hulk, it’s meant 70 minutes of casualties. As we told you in our story here, there are a full 70 minutes missing from the movie which will make it onto the DVD.

We speculated earlier that those missing 70 minutes might contain the Captain America cameo director Louis Letterier promised (watch him tease it right here). Well consider that confirmed. Speaking to the site Judao, Letterier says: “There’s a point when Bruce Banner gives up on his quest for the cure and decide to kill himself. So he travels far North and reaches the Arctic Circle. You might have seen bits of it in some of the promos.” Sounds like an interesting scene, but having watched the movie on Monday I can tell you there’s nothing even remotely like it in there anywhere. The reason for that? Louis says, “The result was a very dark and strong scene, which Marvel, me and everyone else’s considered to be too hard to young audiences to take, so we’ve cut it.” The Incredible Hulk is after all, a kids movie. It’s practically a Pixar flick, right?

Anyway, in that missing scene was Cap’s meeting with Bruce Banner. Letterier confirms, “…when Bruce arrives at his destination he meets up with Captain America!” So the cameo he’s been running around all week promising us isn’t in the movie, and it sounds like it never was. It’s on the DVD. Letterier also makes a vague promise that they’ll also have it on the internet some time this week. Of course he also told us that it would be in the movie just a few days ago, and that didn’t pan out.

So to sum up: No Captain America in The Incredible Hulk, but it’s completely safe to take your kids to see a movie about a guy who gets mad, turns green, and beats the shit out of anyone and everything around him. Marvel is all about family entertainment
