One thing you can say about director Louis Leterrier (Incredible Hulk) is that he is invested in the Marvel film universe. He honestly loves the characters anyone can tell this just how often he talks about them. You often see comic book film directors shying away from that aspect of their career or even being coy about their enthusiasm for returning. Leterrier is far from being shy for wanting the Avengers director's chair. Louis recently spoke to MTV revealing his thoughts on seeing a villainous Hulk and how excited he is to see the iconic heroes come together in one movie. He restates the Loki/Hulk connection we've been hearing.
"He's not really a villain...If Hulk is a villain, that's too simplistic....What's great about Marvel is that it's never good guy and bad guy, hero and villain — it's more complex than that.....Hulk could be in trouble and chased by Iron Man, no problem. But I don't think he would end up the villain, killing people and being villainous of his own free will....In the Avengers stories when he was the villain, he was always controlled by Loki or someone else, and it was never of his own doing,"
"That's what fantastic....The next step in superhero movies is the clash of cultures. That's what's going to be so fun. 'Iron Man' was great, but you don't remember 'Iron Man' for the fantastic action sequences — though they were great — it's the human interaction and how great the human actors were...When you put Thor in Tony Stark's universe, it's fantastic... Then you add the anti-superhero that is Hulk, who's like, 'Leave me alone, I don't want to be a superhero,' and you tell him, 'You have to come with us or you have to fight us,' and then on top of all this you have Captain America, a gung-ho super-soldier who starts doubting himself and his system... and that's fantastic. You have all these interactions, and that's just the beginning. Then you have the villains and the enormous potential of these action pieces...I'm first in line to see that stuff,"
