 ICv2 News - Marvel Studios Happy to Reclaim the 'Hulk'
While Marvel's CEO Peter Cuneo has called 2006 "a year of transition for Marvel," the same could be said for 2007, which will probably be the last year in which the majority of Marvel-based films will be made by the traditional Hollywood studios.
With the return of the Hulk and Iron Man (see "Marvel Starts Over on Iron Man Film") to the Marvel Studios fold, the only Marvel properties with theatrical potential at other studios are Wolverine (at Fox) and The Punisher 2 (at Lion's Gate).
This means that the Hulk film will be made outside the Paramount-distributed Marvel Studios deal (see "Marvel to Produce Its Own Movies"), but Marvel should not have much trouble arranging the financing and will retain the lion's share of any profits (and all licensing rights) from a Hulk sequel.

With a time of looking back comes a time of looking forward, so what does the year 2006 hold for you and I, the ever loyal and ever vocal comic/film/comic film fan?
What struck me as I looked at the list was that while 2005 had some of the greatest comic adaptations up until this point, the year itself was rather lackluster.
Personally, the Spider-Man and Blade films were exciting ventures that made me look forward to whichever property they would bring to life next, even though film after film failed to capture that same magic.
