ABC Still Developing a “Hulk” TV Show! Passes On “AKA Jessica Jones”!

Even after his cinematic rejuvenation in The Avengers, the Hulk might still “smash” on TV!

In a press call this morning, ABC’s Paul Lee revealed that ABC and Marvel are still moving forward on a Hulk TV show, while they have passed on “AKA Jessica Jones”, based on the Brian Michael Bendis’ Alias book.

In an article posted on Deadline about ABC’s slate announcement, the following blurb reveals ABC’s plans for the series:

The only property from Disney-owned Marvel still in active development at ABC is Hulk, which was set up one and half years ago with Guillermo Del Toro and David Eick attached. Lee said the project will be in consideration for the next pilot cycle. I hear Del Toro is still on board. ABC has passed on the Aka Jessica Jones adaptation whose writer, Twilight‘s Melissa Rosenberg, has a new series on ABC, Red Widow.

So sorry, Jessica Jones. We’ll have to wait a little longer to see you on a TV or film screen. And it’ll be at least another year for Hulk. Now how much longer will we have to wait to see “some Luke Cage up in this bitch!?!” (which is how Tyrese would play him if he got the chance).
