This is most intriguing. I somehow missed that Hurt was playing General Thunderbolt Ross. I actually felt that Sam Elliot was a perfect casting choice, but I have no doubts about Hurt in the role. Really, what impresses me is the casts of both films are so strong (granted, I though the first Hulk had a great cast).
And Hurt mentions a crossover sequence with himself and Iron Man that i must confess thrills the comic geek in me.
One curiosity is the inclusion of Nick Fury in the Iron Man film. They are specifically modeling him after the Ultimate Marvel Nick Fury. That version was based on the likeness of Samuel L. Jackson and will be played by…Samuel L. Jackson. I am curious to see Jackson’s approach. The Ultimate Nick Fury is not so much the “Angry Yelling Guy”, as he is Jackson’s more “serious and intense” slow speaker. At least, when I hear him in my brain? He’s intense, but not losing his cool. Am I making sense?
