Picture Of Captain America In The Incredible Hulk

By Josh Tyler: 2008-06-12 03:45:35

The confusion over whether or not Captain America is actually in The Incredible Hulk continues. Let’s trace the timeline for a minute, before we get into the latest news on what’s up this mess:

June 6: Originally here, Hulk director Louis Letterier said: “In Iron Man there’s the Captain America shield somewhere. Well in Hulk, you might see Captain America himself.” Remember the part where he said “Captain America himself”. It’s going to be relevant later.

June 9: I see The Incredible Hulk, and Captain America is nowhere to be found.

June 10: Louis Letterier reveals that a full 70 minutes were cut from The Incredible Hulk, and will only be available on DVD. Read that here.

June 11: Louis Letterier talks about some of the footage which is in the 70 minutes cut from the film. He describes a journey by Bruce Banner into the Arctic and says, “…when Bruce arrives at his destination he meets up with Captain America!” Since he’s discussing the extra footage on the DVD, we all assume here that this means the Captain America scene will not be in the movie, but be on the DVD.

That brings us to today, when the folks over at Latino Review interview Incredible Hulk producer Gale Anne Hurd. When asked what Louis Letterier meant when he said Captain America was in the film, she says: “He didn't really mean the character of Captain America, unless there's something that I don't know. It's the serum.” Basically, she’s saying Captain America isn’t in the film at all. Not in the theatrical cut and not on the DVD. Except Louis Letterier was pretty clear in saying that it was the character of Captain America.

Remember that quote I told you to remember? The one where he said “you might see Captain America himself.” He didn’t say you’d see the serum that makes Captain America or something associated with Captain America, he said “Captain America himself.” Plus, on June 11 he talked about Hulk seeing Captain America in the Arctic. The serum isn’t in the Arctic…. Heck the Arctic isn’t even in the theatrical cut at all, yet I’ve seen the serum scene that Hurd is talking about. In fact, the picture I posted above is the scene in question. That blue stuff in the vial? That’s what Hurd is talking about. That’s Captain America. I’ll post a bigger version of it below.

It’s really starting to look like Louis Letterier is simply a liar, touting a cameo in hopes of luring more people into buying tickets to his movie, even though no such cameo exists. If that’s really what’s going on, that is not at all cool. Fans deserve better than to be lied to.

A scene was filmed where Bruce finds Captain America frozen in the ice. That's what Louis was talking about.

I imagine somewhere there is a vintage photo of cap in the theatrical version because the Iron Man press version had no shield and no Nick Fury. I also think there will be an easter egg after the credits because they are tying in the films leading to the Avengers- so somewhere either Fury or Stark are going to say Avenger Iniative. An in control Hulk is a valued Avenger like the original Avengers.

Yes, I've read the interviews you're quoting. None of the interviewers actually repeat to him: This is what I understand you are telling me." I know it's a bit much to ask, but I work with ESL people all the time. They translate things in their heads differently. I'm not saying your wrong, just that I would like it clarified clearly to Leterrier to make sure he knows what we are understanding from him. I'm sure with all the attention this is getting, we'll get that soon.

The cut scene in question has Bruce in the middle of the arctic (so that he can be sure no one has followed him and so that no one will find his body) to kill himself. When he puts the gun to his head, The Hulk doesn't let him kill himself. As he's transforming he falls through the ice into the ocean. I imagine we see Cap in ice in the ocean (?)

Jason: He has been asked for clarification. That's why I have multiple quotes from multiple interviews on multiple days above.

Mark: We Cinema Blend writers (when did I become multiple people?) are not assuming anything. I gave you the exact quotes. There's no assumption. I'm giving you exactly what was said. One of these two people has told us an untruth. It's not a matter of opinion. One is not telling the truth.

Not only that but also scenes like Hulk in some iceberg fighting a killer whale or whatever. It's kinda disapointing, but I bet it will be on the DVD as there stills from those scenes.

But this Captain America thing... Promising and not delivering can be a killer. And he didnt have to promise anything since the movie is actually quite good, there was no need for that...

How involved was Gale Anne Hurd in this production?

I'm guessing not very, since she's had the Hulk rights since the 1990s, back when she tried to give her husband Jonathan Hensleigh a job making it.

If Captain America's in an iceberg in a deleted scene....

I'm pretty sure there is some kind of mix up and that Leterrier is not flat out lying. Why do you Cinema Blend writers always assume the worst?

This site should be re-named Cynical Blend.

Why doesn't someone ask HIM for clarification before we jump to conclusions? I've seen the guy in interviews. He gets a little geeky/overly excited and English is not his native language. I've seen him have to clarify what he was MEANING to say before.
