Incredible Hulk
Faker:
First off I'm gonna say I actually enjoyed the first Hulk movie, it's not without its failings but overall I thought it was pretty good.
What I find strange about this new movie is that it is not a sequel but a reboot.
Rebooting the Bond series is fine, there were 20 Bond movies and the formula was creaking and just getting more ridiculous with each instalment and logically the only way for the series to progress was to start afresh. Similarly with Batman Begins, the previous Batman movies had descended into farce, plus a significant enough amount of time had passed between Batman and Robin (1997) and Batman Begins (2005) to justify starting the whole thing over from scratch.
The original Hulk movie was only 4/5 years ago and wasn't, in my opinion, such a diaster that rebooting was the only option; they could have done it as a sequel and still taken it in different directions to the first.
That all said, I probably will go see this, I like Eward Norton a lot and was particularly interested to hear he actually wrote the screenplay!
Edit: Just watched the trailer, let’s just say it’s not matching my enthusiasm for Iron Man. The Hulk v Abomination sequence did nothing for me.

Iron Man also proposes action done in stylish and fast paced ways. HULK SMASH is about as interesting as this one's going to get.
Faker:
Yeah, although Robert Downey Jnr will be in The Incredible Hulk, so I might watch it to see how the cross over is done!

I've heard rumours of an Avengers movie being produced for 2011, which in conjunction with Captain America in 09, could lead up to a very large series of character setup films to cover the backstory of the Avengers.

That's long past the rumor stage. It's been listed as under development since 2006. Though this is not a tangible definite, it's past the rumor stage and into the realm of an actual planned development. It's set to follow impending film adaptations of Thor, Captain America and Ant-Man and will likely team the five of them (Including Iron Man and Hulk) together which, with the addition of the Wasp, would make it almost the founding team of Avengers (Cap wasn't actually a founder, he joined soon after Hulk left).
