Tim Roth in Incredible Hulk 2
Mr. Orange to be Abomination
Tim Roth, who played favorite characters in Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Planet of the Apes, has been cast as The Abomination in the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie, according to Variety.
Roth will star opposite Edward Norton and Liv Tyler, as Bruce Banner and Betty Ross respectively. The movie is scheduled to be released next summer, on June 13.
Abomination is the alter ego of Emil Blonsky, a Russian spy who Hulks out. If you want to see Tim Roth before June, he stars in Youth Without Youth this fall, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

Thank God they are trying to get as far from the first movie as possible. The first movie should have been called King Kong instead of the Hulk.

I think I'm one of the few old fanboys who didn't absolutely hate the first HULK film. While it had its weak points, I found it pretty entertaining.

I agree. Good performances from Sam Elliot and Nick Nolte.

I think the director was confused when making the first Hulk movie, and thought he was doing an updated version of King Kong. The script just screamed that it was sculpted to make sure they wouldn't have to do too much special effects. The Hulk didn't even show up until an hour into the movie. One of the first superhero movies of recent years that I never wanted to see again.
