Joss Whedon had been talking about the difficulties involved in making a standalone Hulk movie, and explained why he doesn’t think that a Planet Hulk movie will necessarily work.
Whedon is currently busy doing the press rounds for Avengers: Age of Ultron, and when IGN grabbed a few minutes with him, we kicked off by asking about the journey that the character goes on in the movie.
