Bad Blood Between Marvel and Universal?

Are we ever going to see the Green Goliath in his own movie after the mixed response to The Incredible Hulk back in 2008? Well, while Marvel Studios may have congratulated Universal on the success of Jurassic World earlier this year, there’s clearly still some bad feeling between the two studios, though it does sound as if things are on their way to be resolved. “I think they’ve been working on it,” Mark Ruffalo explained in a recent interview with Yahoo Movies. “Marvel and Universal famously don’t get along very well, and so that’s working against us, definitely. But I know for a fact that everyone is holding out hope that one day we can do it. But the nature of the relationship right now, it’s a little prohibitive. And I hope that that changes, that changes with regimes, it changes over the course of time. But right now it doesn’t look particularly promising.”

Asked if the apparent bad feeling between the two studios could ultimately lead to a deal similar to what happened with Marvel and Sony, Ruffalo added: “Yeah, I think ultimately that’s what they’re after, it working out for both sides. But like I said, Marvel and Universal are just not having a good time together right now.” As for Thor: Ragnarok, the actor confirmed that it’s still very early days for the movie which will unite the God of Thunder with The Hulk. “They’re still writing the script. That’ll start shooting this summer. In June. There’s still a lot of work to do on that.” Oh, and is he going to be in Captain America: Civil War? “They’re saving me, so I’m told,“ he reiterated.
