The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Marvel Studios reacquired the rights to the character after the mixed reception to Hulk, and writer Zak Penn began work on a loose sequel that would be much closer to the comics and the television series. Norton rewrote the script after he signed on to star, which clarified the film's new back-story. Leterrier aimed to make the film realistic, giving a more frightening direction for the look of the monsters, while redesigning the Abomination from the comics' reptilian humanoid into a mutated man with bony protrusions. Filming mostly took place in Toronto, Canada in 2007, where the production attempted to be environmentally friendly.
The film outgrossed its predecessor and received more positive reviews, but Marvel chose to put off a possible sequel until after 2011's The Avengers. As of January 1, 2009, the film has grossed $347,042,688 in worldwide box office and North American DVD sales.[2]
