In an interview with Shock Till You Drop, Guillermo Del Toro has revealed at least some news of an upcoming Hulk TV series based off the Avengers film franchise. For some more info and a Major Spoilers look, take the jump.
Del Toro, the man behind the Hellboy movies, is set to direct the pilot of a Hulk TV series spinning out of this year’s highly successful Avengers film. He does tell us the project is currently on hold while Marvel waits for a specific writer to become available for the project. As of yet the writer is currently unnamed, even to Del Toro himself, but seems quite important to the project. Del Toro himself is very much looking forward to the project as it is one of the more monstrous comic characters available to work with and those are what he wants to work with. Being a huge fan of the Hellboy series and anything Del Toro does, I am highly looking forward to more news about this project.

Del Toro does fascinating work, but for some projects I have my doubts. For instance, when he was going to direct “The Hobbit” he said he wanted Smaug to look like a flying axe instead of a traditional dragon, so I dreaded the end result until he left the project. And after seeing Hellboy and The Labyrinth of the Faun… I fully expect to see him give the Hulk eyeballs on his fingers or something like that.
