Even Norse Myths Get Freaked Out by the Hulk
Marvel released the trailer for Hulk Vs. Thor yesterday?the second half of the direct to DVD movie that includes Hulk Vs. Wolverine?and I’ll be darned if it’s not kind of cool. You know, since these two half-movies are only 45 minutes long, I’ll admit I was hoping that the movie would just start with Hulk punching Thor?that’s all anyone wants to see. But I’ll certainly take the Hulk getting dropped off in Valhalla in the first few minutes, then beating up the entire Norse pantheon while the gods freak out. Neat!
