Top 10 Cameos I’d Like To See in the Incredible Hulk Movie

For the past week, it seems like all we’ve been hearing about the Incredible Hulk movie is speculation on what other superheroes might pop up for a two second cameo during the course of the film. Will it be Captain America? No, wait, maybe it’s Iron Man. And what about Nick Fury? There’s gotta be some Nick Fury action in there. Is the Hulk really such a boring character that all the focus has shifted to any other character that might be involved? How lame. Anyway, I thought I would take this opportunity to share my own personal top 10 cameos that I am hoping to see in the Incredible Hulk.
10. Samantha from Sex and the City
Some may remember that Kim Cattrall appeared in an episode of the Incredible Hulk TV series as Dr. Gabrielle White, one of the few characters who learned about Banner’s “secret identity” as the Hulk. But I think it would be much more interesting to have her appear as Samantha from Sex and the City getting into a discussion about how size really does matter.
9. Hulk Hogan
Hulkamania is going to run wild on multiplexes this weekend, and the only way that the movie could be bigger is if Hulk Hogan had a cameo in it as well. He appeared in Gremlins 2 back in the 80’s, and I think we can all agree that it’s about time he returned to the big screen. Maybe he could play one of Bruce Banner’s research assistants.
8. Paul Villard
The Incredible Hulk pretty much owes his existence to French chemist and physicist Paul Villard, who first discovered gamma rays back in 1900. I am hoping to see at least a nod to Villard somewhere in the film, or maybe a little easter egg for the hardcore physics fans. He is dead now, which might make it a bit difficult, but perhaps they can get one of his grandchildren to stand in.
7. Jake White
In the third season episode “Jake”, David Banner meets up with an aging cowboy who has a serious health condition, played by L.Q. Jones. This could set up another Hulk spin-off that would be directed by Ang Lee again, where Jake meets the love of his life, a cattle rancher named Heath.
6. Ang Lee
Am I the only one who’s completely sick of the Stan Lee cameos in every single Marvel movie? It was cute the first couple of times, but now it’s just getting out of hand. Instead I think he should step down and let Ang Lee take over as the running joke in every Marvel movie. After all, Stan Lee’s not going to be around forever. Much better to plan ahead, in my opinion.
5. General Colin Powell
The Hulk is always on the run from the army, lead by General Ross, but for this movie I think they should up the ante. Who’s even more bad ass than General Ross? General Colin Powell of course. Maybe they could get him to do an encore performance of YMCA for the end credits too.
4. David Banner
Bill Bixby, who played David Banner on the TV series, died of prostrate cancer in the 90’s, so I guess an appearance from him is out of the question. Instead I thought we could get rapper David Banner on board for a quick cameo… after all, he is an actor now (he played Tehronne in Black Snake Moan). Clearly his new song “F**k Them Hoes” would also make an ideal addition to the soundtrack.
3. Sauron
Yes, I know that there is an actual Marvel character named Sauron (part-man, part-pterodactyl or something like that), but I am secretly hoping that Sauron from the Lord of the Rings trilogy might make an appearance in the new Hulk movie. Just think about it, this is a crossover that could truly make geeks lose their minds. It would be even better if it was really subtle, like Captain America’s shield in Iron Man. Actually come to think of it, I did hear that there is a ring on a table in the background in one scene… maybe if you freeze frame it you can tell by the etchings that it is the One Ring!
2. She-Hulk
Hey, who wouldn’t want to see a hot chick covered in green paint? It would seem like a no-brainer, except for the fact that fanboys always find a reason to hate every female character in a comic book movie. (As it is, we all know Liv Tyler is going to get all the flack for any of the Incredible Hulk’s flaws.) It’s also a bonus that She-Hulk is a lawyer… forget all this talk about more action, I just want a good Hulk courtroom drama.
1. TIE: Zzzax / Xeron the Star Slayer
I don’t think I need to explain either of these. If you don’t know who these villains are, you simply aren’t a true fan of the Incredible Hulk!!!!!

Is this written by Sean? This is way snarkier than usual. I like it, the David Banner cameo would be fantastic, as would the dead scientist!
Posted by Henrik on June 12th, 2008This is an odd column.
I think Sean has been drinking moonshine again. Stop hanging out with Uncle Jesse and Cooter.
Posted by Greg on June 12th, 2008@ “Is this written by Sean?”
Thought the same thing.
Posted by Rusty James on June 12th, 2008What can I say… slow news day. And I’m sick of hearing about whether or not Captain America will be in the Incredible Hulk movie.
Posted by Sean on June 12th, 2008I’m betting Tony Stark and Stan Lee are the only cameos. Have they even casted Captain America yet?
This post was like something out of Wizard magazine.
Posted by Ryan on June 12th, 2008I like the “snarky” Sean. This was hysterical!
Posted by Marina on June 12th, 2008It’s the strangeness that captures attention. Keep it up
Funnily enough they managed to get a cameo of Bill Bixby in there sort of, on TV, not as Banner, obviously.
Hulk Hogan would be pretty cool.
Posted by _ram-jaane' on June 12th, 2008Love the Ang Lee idea too, even Eric Bana for that matter, alas, none are present.
I’d like to see a cameo from the Chin. Whats a superhero movie without an apperance of Bruce “Don’t call me Ash” Campbell.
Posted by Colleen on June 12th, 2008General Colin Powell would be a good choice for the general part.
Posted by website design on June 12th, 2008Captain America will not be in the movie, but they did shoot a scene with him only to have it cut from the final release. Tony Stark’s cameo is less than a minute.
Posted by Swarez on June 12th, 2008The Blu Ray version will have about 70 minutes of extra footage cut from the film. There are speculations that it will be the theatrical cut and the Edward Norton cut via seamless branching. I doubt it but it would be cool.
I’d like to see an appearance from the Hulk’s nipples, which appear to be absent from that still.
Posted by Nuno on June 12th, 2008That was hysterical.
My suggestion is – during one of the huge OMG action scenes, have a slow pan across to Kermit the Frog, sitting sedately on a log nearby, and have him break into “It’s Not Easy Being Green”. The fight scene could slowly grind to a halt and it could morph into a musical number ala Clerks 2.
The Hulk could drop down into Banner again, finishing in a chorus line with all the US soldiers, then it could break off and they all go out for a chai latte.
That is all. You’re welcome.
Posted by Charlie on June 13th, 2008I think Hulk Hogan is a little to busy these days dealing with his son who almost killed someone.
Posted by Matt on June 13th, 2008And also:
I guess I’m “not a true fan of the Incredible Hulk!!!!!”
