FF 2, Spidey 3, Hulk 2 Updates
Marvel exec Avi Arad talks about Galactus, Spidey's black costume and the return of old Jade Jaws.
Marvel Studios' head Avi Arad talked with Empire magazine about upcoming Marvel movie projects.
Fantastic Four 2: Galactus and the Silver Surfer are the odds-on favorites to appear in the sequel, Arad says.
"It's a couple of years later and we get to see what their life is like. What else is there for them to accomplish, what issues are in their lives, where's Doom?," Arad says.
Regarding Galactus: "They'll be some pretty big surprises. What we're trying to do is not to show him, but to show someone else, initially."
Hulk 2: the sequel will be titled “The Incredible Hulk,” Arad says.
"It's still a study in anger. It's more a love story between Bruce and Betty. It has the feel of The Fugitive, and Bruce is on a mission to get rid of the Hulk. When you see the Abomination, you'll see something really special."
Spider-Man 3: "This is definitely a '3' in terms of scale. Movie one was origin, movie two was, 'I cannot do it anymore,' and movie three is, 'I'm powerful, what does that do to me?"
Regarding Venom: "I don't know about Venom, I know about Topher Grace!....The black suit is a metaphor for Spidey's mental state. In Spider-Man 2 we wanted him to put the suit back on; here we'll want him to take it off. He cannot be the Peter we want him to be unless he takes the suit off...."
