The Hulk as this generation’s Hamlet? The jade giant has enjoyed a real variety of interpretations. Could you picture him in a frock, waxing philosophic to the skull of “poor Yorick?” Nah… let's not get too literal. But Mark Ruffalodid describe his new part as such to Empire recently.

"The way I see it, Edward Norton has bequeathed this role to me. I reckon the part is my generation's Hamlet, and there's still some room for interpreting who The Hulk is."

I’d say that’s a fair assessment. People often lose sight of how Shakespeare was a populist entertainer in his day.  Performances at the Globe Theater might actually be pretty comparable to today’s TV feed.  Bruce Banner does has all the angst, tortured motivations and Daddy issues that defined the tragic prince of Denmark.  Oddly enough I remember reading an interview with Kevin Conroy where he says he got the part of Batman because, at his audition, he told the animators that their description of Bruce Wayne sounded a lot like Hamlet to him.   

Ruffalo also dropped some hints about the direction Marvel movies are going to take after the AVENGERS movie gets rolling (and how timely is this, given G-Man’s Off My Mind today?) == TEASER ==

"They set up several pictures over a couple of years and possibly there will be a Hulk movie. There'll probably be a couple more Avengers too, which would be fun."

Obviously, it’s a given that there are going to be more AVENGERS movie, but how interested would you be in seeing solo movies after the characters have assembled so spectacularly? I wonder if it might seem a bit too reductive for casual audiences. You just got all these heroes in a single movie, now you've got to settle for one at a time again? Though, there are a few loose threaders still dangling from the end of the INCREDIBLE HULK... like "Mr. Blue" transforming into the Leader. I doubt that'd be resolved in the team movie, so where else would it be addressed if not another solo movie?

" i WANT A NEW HULK MOVIE "

He's going to be awesome as Banner/Hulk.
 
All I gotta say is...Bring on more HULK SMASH!

I wanna see the Leader in another Hulk movie! =D

I think the interest will always be there, those who like their characters enough will wade through the cream and the crap to get more story. What may make more sense after Avengers for Marvel is a diversification between TV/Movie/Direct to DVD/Webisode approach. It won't make sense to make everything into a movie anymore than it would to make every idea into a series. 
 
That's why we have minis, and one-shots with comics, this is just them in the brave new media world.

HULK vs LEADER! Go!

It was funny coz I just saw Mark Ruffalo on Reservation Road just last night. 
 
It was a great performance, and it was a great movie. 
 
Jennifer Connelly and Juaquin Pheonix are top notch too! 
 
Yay for no more rewrite dramas for The Hulk! 
 
Speaking of sequels, I wouldn't mind seeing Jennifer Walters (aka She-Hulk) make a cameo in the next film.  A short five second scene would do :) 
 

"i WANT A NEW HULK MOVIE "

Hulk be or Hulk not be. That question is.

I'd be cool with another Hulk. TIH was really good and probably the best interpretation of the character so far. Hopefully Ruffallo stays on board for more than one movie though      -_-

This third Hulk movie better be good! ;) I look forward to a good hulk movie! :D

'Incredible Hulk' was good, what are you guys talking about?

 I'm still hoping for a decent Thor, Capt. America, Avengers, and possible 3rd Iron man movie before I take seriously a 3rd new interpretation of the Hulk which will at the very least have odd continuity issues if they can't get the rest of the Incredible Hulk cast back together. Will Liv Tyler do a movie without Norton? Will William Hurt come back to play Ross? Will they play the Norton version of the Hulk as if it didn't happen like a reboot or will they just recast everyone? I think that, for me, the sting of loosing Norton would have been better if they got a David Tenant or famous someone who can play of wounded genius But as it is, I'm not keen on Ruffalo and if they recast Liv and Hurt they definitely wouldn't have me running to the theater for a premiere showing!

the problem with all hulk movies is unfortunately the hulk itself.  that monster is always so fake in cgi that it completely takes me out of the movie and i feel like im behind the scenes at a puppet show.  the norton hulk almost got it right, but heres the solution LESS HULKING OUT.  make the movie about a person and then you might actually feel something for him when he turns into an uncontrollable green murdering freak monster.  hulk should not be considered a superhero, his movies should be a modern jekyll and hyde with the monster cloaked in shadow and mysterious as long as possible.
