Universal has released a new batch of photos from The Incredible Hulk. The photo above is significant because it’s our first look at the super serum that will be (or was) used to create the superhero known as Captain America. Apparently in the film, William Hurt’s General Thunderbolt Ross tells Tim Roth’s Emil Blonsky about a weapons program initiated during World War II to create a “super soldier” before giving him the injection.
Earlier this weekend, Captain America’s shield was spotted on Tony Stark’s workbench. You gotta love how the Marvel Universe is now working in unity on the big screen. More photos after the jump.

That’s a lot of vials of piss Edward is near.
Also, I didn’t know Tim Blake Nelson was in this film

Awesome, I love how under the Marvel Studios banner they are now able to bring the different characters together into the same universe.
May 11th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
DC/Warner could take a note from Marvel.
Also, These photos are Incredible!
May 11th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
wow… im so NOT looking forward to this film but i do like the idea marvel is adding all these easter eggs in their films.
May 11th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
to do a successful Captain America film, it has to be a hole in one. anything less will be a joke.
the origin
the suit
the character
the shield
putting it film and making it work is a huge challange
May 11th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
TBH.. I am really starting to look forward to the HULK.

The Ultimate line of comics now makes sense.
May 11th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Goddammit, DC. Get your shit together!
And someone push Conde Nast into making a good Shadow movie.

Allynd Dudnikov,
I am glad that for the most part DC is taking it slow with their properties. Marvel has had a fucking tragic record with their own licenses turning to film. People seem to be getting way ahead of themselves after Iron-Man.
So far in my eyes DC has the better track record in not horribly screwing up most of their primary characters. Nolan coming to Batman was a god send. If Singer brings the promises he speaks about for the Superman sequel, then it’ll definitely be great. Watchmen is also still in production and I have high hopes for that one as well.
I’d still love to see a very well made Sandman/Death, Shazam, and Flash film. I think once mostof DC’s line-up gets situated correctly, the JLA movie has a chance of actually being done well. Right now it feels like Marvel is trying to race to get this Avengers film going and more than half of their franchises have been crippled by shitty directors and budget writers.
I want a Ghost Rider reboot and a new Blade 3 film that isn’t an ipod commercial with Goyer busting nuts all over Ryan Reynolds one-liners.
May 11th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
DC has far better stories than Marvel.
I would love to see an Infinite Crisis performance capture film or better yet, live action.
Isnt ‘Death: The High Cost of Living’ in pre production? I still have my Death mini comics in VG condition. I wonder how much theyre worth. lol
May 11th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Yeah I think the way Gaiman predicted and hoped for is that he would “sell” Sandman to Hollywood to basically fuck up. But he keeps “Death” and gets overall say as to who is going to do it.
High Cost of Living would be such a great movie if they do it right. Not sure how much they’re worth though :P
May 11th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
video games and internet took over, so comics arent worth much these days. i wouldnt be surprised if they cost .50 cent each. lol.
since gen 13 is owned by warner bros, i wonder if theyll finally release the animation or maybe re-animate it since it needs an update. i wonder if fans would love to see it made into something real.
May 11th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
I think Captain America has a point though, as far as Marvel seeming to try to steam role all of their productions towards the Avengers movie in record time. If they aren’t careful they might peak before they even get there. DC might seem to be taking it slow but they’re apparently starting to really raise quality. Their quality over quantity approach might end up paying off big in the long run…It could be that Marvel saw IM’s success and ran with it but I’m waiting to see how well IH does when it comes out before I start to compare “success” between the two (Marvel and DC).
May 11th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
yeah yeah very cool, the first television spot for the dark knight aired tonight - this summer deserves a better class of cinema, and nolan & co are gonna give it to us…
May 11th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
So far, Marvel’s got Iron Man, X-Men and Spider-Man in the win column (maybe not every one of each franchise, but none of those are a Punisher or Ghost Rider).
DC’s got Batman and… Shit. That’s about it. Right? Am I missing something? Does Constantine go in the win column? Superman was a big stinker (though, even if you liked it, DC’s dropping the ball), and I can’t even think of anything they’ve got coming up other than Watchmen.
I guess V for Vendetta was pretty good. But we’re still sitting at a total of TWO DC universe properties. Am I crazy? Am I missing something?
Maybe I should have been more specific in my original comment. When I say “DC,” I mean “DC Universe.”
I’m just rambling now. Apologies.
May 12th, 2008 at 2:54 am
@ Thumb
Um, sorry? I guess what I was trying to get at is that while Marvel is now flying solo and has creative freedom to do what they want DC is still tied down with collaborations. So it is in DC’s best interest to dedicate their time to working on more “quality” films in lieu of focusing on overall “quantity”. This, when faced with previous failures like you so helpfully pointed out.
And I really liked Constantine and V for Vendetta, but that could just be me. Can’t say much for Punisher or Ghost Rider b/c I have yet to see either.

@ Captain Awesome
“So far in my eyes DC has the better track record in not horribly screwing up most of their primary characters.”
Batman Forever. Batman & Robin. Superman III, Superman IV.
I don’t care how financially successful Forever was, it was still an appaling film lacking the quality of its predecessors, despite a few good points. And I have no idea how Singer can deal with the “Lois’ husband and son” problem of Superman Returns in a sequel/s without nuking either the source material further (which has been the main source of fan dislike of the film) or resorting to hackneyed writing. True, they could keep them, but the Lois/Clark dynamic is damned near the heart of the Superman comic lore and just forgoing that will only keep turning fans away and dwindle box office receipts to “unprofitable” very quickly.
But Marvel has definitely had its train wrecks: Daredevil, Elektra and Ghost Rider (notice a pattern with those 2?) were terrible, and I didn’t care for X-Men 3 or Spider-man 3. The full creative control over their properties now gives me a lot of hope of seeing the interconnected Marvel Universe on-screen (e.g. Spidey kicking it with Johnny Storm at the end of a Fantasic Four movie [which may never happen], or Nick Fury talking to Xavier about mutant terrorism).
May 12th, 2008 at 5:56 am
What?! Constantine has got to be the WORST comic book adaptation of all time. Not only was it so far removed from its inspiration that why they didn’t just call the character John Smith or something instead, and just left the franchise alone, but it was really, really boring. Pretty pictures, sure, but with a guy who couldn’t act his way out of a phone booth, a weak-ass script, the worst Rachel Weizch-role in memory, and LeBeef. Even the interesting characters, such as the archangel and the devil, were pretty goddamn weak compared to how they are depicted in the comic (why the HELL change something that’s provocative and original into something less provocative and less original?). The decision-making on that film makes no sense to me. No sense!
May 12th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
@ jbq
Okay, okay. In my defense I was coming off of The Matrix when I decided to watch Constantine AND I went into it cold, not ever having read the comic so please don’t bite my head off, lol. I’m sure had I read the comic first my expectations would have been different.
@ leo_rover
Agreed, agreed, agreed and about the interconnected Marvel universe….we can only hope.
May 12th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
jbq,
For the most part Constantine was a good movie if it wasn’t called “Constantine”. If you take the title away and name it “Guy who fights the devil” then the film would still be good.
Even comparing it to the shitters that Marvel has pumped out is reaching. Especially calling it the worst comic book adaption ever made? Did you see Ghost Rider? Blade 3? Daredevil? Fantastic 1 and 2? Spider-Man 3? Elektra? X-Men 3?
I would still love to see a real deal Constantine film thats actually based on the comic itself.

I’m more interested in that pic of Liv Tyler in the wet shirt.
