Will the 'Hulk' Be A Villain? + Captain America Makes Cameos!

If you've read a bunch of The Avengers comic books you'd know that in a number of instances the big green behemoth we call 'The Hulk' has posed a threat to his own team due to his lack of control over his own powers and instincts. This was even writen into the storyline for the Ultimate Avengers animated movie (which is an awesome flick by the way). So there's no real surprise when ideas of the Hulk being an unofficial bad guy in the upcoming Avengers movie are being thrown around.

Mark Fergus spoke to MTV about his belief that the Hulk should be the villain in the upcoming AVENGERS movie that is being built towards: "I hope ‘The Avengers’ embraces that... You don’t want like 10 super-badass good guys fighting together. Where’s the fun in that? Let’s break it off a little. Friends or colleagues who become enemies is always an interesting thing because you know it’s based on love and friendship and that’s always the worst thing to have turn bad — is someone you actually care about and someone you actually believe in.”

**Spoiler Alert!**
Louis Leterrier added: “I left the door open for whoever’s going to direct ‘The Avengers’ with our last shot. Edward [Norton] and I, we consciously decided to make the last shot of the movie when he opens his eyes and he smirks at the camera... Is he enjoying it? Is he malicious? That’s what’s great about Edward. You don’t know if he’s a good guy or bad guy. He’s always on this edge and we’ve been sort of surfing that edge, that very thin edge during the entire movie.”
**Spoilers End Here**

This sounds pretty interesting to say the least. While I'd like to see The Hulk smash and bash with the rest of the gang, having someone like him go out of control would be awesome as well. It could be like a side-story. Either way, the Avengers is bound to be huge.

The Avengers is set for a summer 2011 release. Before that happens though, we'll have to go through Iron Man 2, Thor, The First Avenger : Captain America, and the rumored Ant-Man. There's no real sequel talk for The Incredible Hulk, but things could change.

Now for the juicy bit:
Check out these two stills. It looks like Captain America did make some rounds in both The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. Tony Stark seems to be working on a shield of some sort with a half finished star emblem in the middle, while Cap's Hulk cameo comes to us exclusively on DVD via a scene that was deleted from the movie's theatrical release, in which Bruce Banner spots what looks like a man frozen in thick ice. Nice stuff.
