Former "X-Files" star David Duchovny is rumored to be pretty close to signing a deal that will make him the new Incredible Hulk after Eric Bana declined to play the green giant again.
Peter Cuneo of Marvel comics revealed Duchovny is the frontrunner to play Bruce Banner/Hulk in "The Incredible Hulk 2" in a recent interview with AOL's Motley Fool Radio Team. "Duchovny's name has been bought up several times. He's quite the fan too."
Bana is said to have pulled out of the sequel when he discovered the plan was to release the film direct to DVD.
Cuneo insists there's still life in the Hulk project: "Hulk did $250 million worldwide box office, which is a huge box office, and as you may recall, we had tremendous success with our toy line, which was a complete sell-out, over $100 million worldwide."
