When "The Incredible Hulk" opens for business in theaters on Friday, you may just be seeing an unexpected familiar face. In addition to Bruce Banner (Edward Norton), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and the previously-announced Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.), apparently the Star-Spangled Avenger is making an appearance.
Follow THIS LINK for the story.
Here's the thing, though. Nobody has heard of Marvel hiring anyone to play the role of Captain America yet, and they certainly didn't hire an actor a year ago when "Hulk" was filming, long before the success of "Iron Man" or the announcement of the "First Avenger: Captain America" movie. So, we're likely not REALLY going to see Steve Rogers here.
Maybe by saying "Captain America himself makes a brief appearance" they actually mean we'll see a big guy that may be Cap from behind, or in the distance. Maybe we're going to see some very grainy old news-reel footage of an image that's supposedly Captain America fighting. Maybe we're just on a wild goose chase, and by saying we'll see Captain America what they really mean is we'll see the Super Soldier serum which led to Captain America.
My prediction? After the credits, we'll see Fury, Stark and Banner out on a boat in the arctic. The camera will tilt down into the water below where they'll see Someone in the Ice...
Any way you slice it, though, this news just makes the slate of upcoming Marvel movies — all tied-in with each other — that much more exciting.
