HOLLYWOOD - You will like him when he's angry!

Marvel Studios and Universal Pictures will unleash Marvel's renowned, larger-than-life green super hero onto moviegoers everywhere in summer 2008 as Marvel and Universal have announced a June 27 release date for the action-packed, new big screen adaptation: The Incredible Hulk.

The announcement was made today by Michael Helfant, president and chief operating officer, Marvel Studios, and Kevin Feige, president of production for Marvel Studios.

Directed by top rising star Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2, Unleashed), The Incredible Hulk will return to the roots of the long-running comic series, combining a well-developed storyline with incredible action and fun.

Zak Penn, who previously collaborated with Marvel on X2 and this summer's smash hit X-Men: The Last Stand, is writing the script.

The project is being produced by Avi Arad, Kevin Feige and Gale Anne Hurd and will be executive produced by Michael Helfant, David Womark, and Ari Arad.

Marvel Studios is currently casting the project.

The Incredible Hulk is being independently produced by Marvel Studios through its $525 million, non-recourse film finance facility and will be distributed domestically and in several international territories by Universal Pictures.

Feige commented, "The Incredible Hulk will be the type of fun, high-octane event film people have come to expect from Marvel."

"We could not be more excited about this project and our summer 2008 prospects now that we have both our green goliath and our highly-anticipated Iron Man set for release," he said.

Helfant added, "We're very happy that Universal is distributing The Incredible Hulk."

"We have a history together and this is a great opportunity for both Marvel and Universal to take the Hulk film franchise to another level," Helfant said.
