Next year, the Hulk gets a sequel — well, sort of.

Director Louis Leterrier begins fresh, with a whole new take on the superhero, as compared to Ang Lees less-than-popular vision.

"It's a fresh start because I saw there is a real fan base for Ang Lee's movie," Leterrier told Wizard Universe. "I didn't want to offend [those fans] in any way, and also I like the movie. It was very interesting. [But] it was weaker ground to build a big franchise upon so we decided to scrap it and establish it from bases that are more comic book-based and TV show-based."

Lackluster villains were a problem for Lees film, but Leterrier hopes to remedy that with a nemesis that matches the Hulks raw power.

"Obviously, Gen. Ross is the villain, so he had to be in it," Leterrier explained. "But the Abomination, Emil Blonsky, was who Marvel wanted to put in this chapter — the first chapter of our new saga — because he's the most famous. He's an enemy that can actually threaten the Hulk. It's very important for me that there is a danger. When Bruce Banner is Hulk, I didn't feel in Ang Lee's 'Hulk' that there was any threat. He was invincible. So with Abomination there's actually a monster that can, you know, kill him when he's in the Hulk form."

While on the run from the U.S. Army, led by an obsessed Gen. Ross, Bruce Banner seeks a cure. Meanwhile, Emil Blonksky, KGB agent, repeats the accident that created the Hulk. Transformed into the Abomination, Blonksky cannot change back. Enraged he seeks to destroy the Hulk.

Zak Penn wrote the screenplay for Universal Pictures and Marvel Studios. The film stars Edward Norton (Bruce Banner/Hulk), Liv Tyler (Betty Ross), Tim Roth (Emil Blonsky/Abomination), William Hurt (Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross), Tim Blake Nelson (Samuel Stern/The Leader), Ty Burrell (Doc Samson), Christina Cabot, Lou Ferrigno, and Martin Starr.

The new "Incredible Hulk" film smashes into theaters June 13, 2008.
