Confirmed: Captain America Cut Out Of Hulk To Protect Your Kids

Confirmed: Captain America Cut Out Of Hulk To Protect Your Kids Marvel Studios has made no secret out of the fact that they’re angling for the broadest possible appeal with their superhero movies. When you’re trying to make your movie all things to everyone there will be, inevitably, casualties. In the case of The Incredible Hulk, it’s meant 70 minutes of casualties. As we told you in our story here, there are a full 70 minutes missing from the movie which will make it onto the DVD.

We speculated earlier that those missing 70 minutes might contain the Captain America cameo director Louis Letterier promised (watch him tease it right here). Well consider that confirmed. Speaking to the site Judao, Letterier says: “There’s a point when Bruce Banner gives up on his quest for the cure and decide to kill himself. So he travels far North and reaches the Arctic Circle. You might have seen bits of it in some of the promos.” Sounds like an interesting scene, but having watched the movie on Monday I can tell you there’s nothing even remotely like it in there anywhere. The reason for that? Louis says, “The result was a very dark and strong scene, which Marvel, me and everyone else’s considered to be too hard to young audiences to take, so we’ve cut it.” The Incredible Hulk is after all, a kids movie. It’s practically a Pixar flick, right?

Anyway, in that missing scene was Cap’s meeting with Bruce Banner. Letterier confirms, “…when Bruce arrives at his destination he meets up with Captain America!” So the cameo he’s been running around all week promising us isn’t in the movie, and it sounds like it never was. It’s on the DVD. Letterier also makes a vague promise that they’ll also have it on the internet some time this week. Of course he also told us that it would be in the movie just a few days ago, and that didn’t pan out.

So to sum up: No Captain America in The Incredible Hulk, but it’s completely safe to take your kids to see a movie about a guy who gets mad, turns green, and beats the shit out of anyone and everything around him. Marvel is all about family entertainment.

    Either way I'm staying until the end of the credits to see if anything comes up. Maybe another Nick Fury goodness...


    btw Wasn't iron Man for kids too and then they go explodin' terrorists?

  1. Glenn Rubenstein Says:

    Hmm... if there's a Captain America cameo that takes place in the arctic, it sounds like it might be a background shot in passing where you can see part of Cap on ice in his frozen state of suspended animation. I mean, with a Captain America movie on track for 2011 that's supposedly a WWII period piece and an Avengers movie to follow that same summer, that means we've still got a few years until Captain America thaws out. - Glenn Rubenstein

  1. Baltrius Says:

    That makes a lota sense. I guess I'll see tomorrow (Portugal)...

  1. Kris Says:

    My question is the same, who plays the Captain? Im doubting he walks and talks anyway, my thinking was the Captain is frozen in ice where you can make out that its him, but not see a face (smart since theyre tying the movies together and Cap isnt cast yet.

  1. chris Says:

    my buddy and i went to the nyc comic con and were at the showing of the hulk trailer/scenes. the director was on stage and took a q&a. someone asked him about an avengers movie and captain america. he said he could say much but said that if you notice that, in the trailers, bruce banner is injected with a blue serium. he said, "lets just say thats Captian America blue"

    take it for what you will.

  1. Matthew Says:

    Actually, from what I remember... the scene you are talking about occurs in the very beginning of the movie.

    Banner hitches a ride and then in the middle of no where (with snow everywhere) he asks to be let out. The driver is initially reluctant but lets him out. Banner then starts dropping everything he owns and goes into the middle of no where (lots of snow) to die. However, he ends up changing into the hulk and that is how he is saved. The next scene may be the beginning of the movie released... where he is working in a factory down south.

  1. Scott Says:

    Yea but they CAN keep the scene where Bruce is in the arctic in the video game.

    I SWEAR to GOD wtf is wrong with this country!!!

  1. anon Says:

    are those cuts the reason for the mini tiff between norton & marvel?

  1. Baltrius Says:

    I don't know much about this. But isn't 70 min of deleted scenes A DAMN LOT!?

  1. Lamont Cranston Says:

    the Hulk/Abomination brawl is not something I'd want my kids to see

  1. Tyler Says:

    This burns my ass!

  1. Raff Says:

    With or without Captain America, you get a taste of what the Cap can do when Blonsky takes the super soldier serum and fights the Hulk. All while he still looks like a normal man. That is more than enough to let you see what the Cap can do!

  1. joe Says:

    i think that he might meet him when he's already thawed out, but seeing him frozen in the background was the first thing to cross my mind.

  1. Sean Says:

    Rumors are suggesting that Marvel is eyeing DiCaprio for the part of Captain America. I for one hope to god this isn't true. Not only is he not right for the part, but when you factor in Samuel Jackson, Edward Norton, Robert Downey Jr, and possibly William Hurt for an Avengers movie. . . I guess I worry that the addition of big name actors for Thor and Captain America might put the Avengers movie and possible sequels in jeoprody. Marvel really needs to secure the actors that they already have for Iron Man and Hulk and line up some unknowns for Cap and Thor.

  1. PlanetComicBookRadio Says:

    So why did Banner travel North to kill himself?

  1. killerpeach Says:

    well to settle some of your questions i've heard that tom criuse is captian america and i've seen a short clip which looks to make that true but this i have also heard bt doupt that captain america movie is coming out next summer but more likely in 2011 as already said

  1. bobby Says:

    Cap should be played by john cena!

  1. DMac Says:

    Jacob Young would be the perfect Captain America.

  1. Maven Says:

    Oh yeah, Tony Stark can destroy the crap out of terrorists and drink, gamble, and have sex, but Hulk can't have suicidal thoughts? There wasn't even any kids in the theater I was at that showed the movie, they were all watching Kung Fu Panda.

  1. wojjow Says:

    okay, took me a while also but we finally spotted Cap in the G4 interview with Louis Letterier.. he runs across the backround when HUlk is beating abomination with the cop car.. Watch very closely to the left side of the Hulks leg starting at 2:58 to about 3:01.. you see the flash of red,white and blue.. i pasted a link to the interview below:
