In an interview with Variety Friday, Marvel studios head Kevin Feige revealed that not only will we get to hear the Hulk speak in the new film, he will be voiced by original Hulk/deaf guy/bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno.
Variety: Do I finally get to hear a good "Hulk smash!" or what?
Feige: Yes. After five TV seasons, several TV movies and the first feature, Hulk will speak. (Yeah, he had a line in the Ang Lee film, but it was a dream.)
Hulk’s verbal skills and intelligence have varied in the comics, but he’s never been as mute as the TV version. So it’s a little ironic that TV Hulk Lou Ferrigno will give voice to the Hulk in this film.
Producer Gale Ann Hurd says Ferrigno was a last-minute addition to a panel on the movie at New York’s Comic-Con. Director Leterrier invited him to "audition" onstage.
"Lou did this amazing, ‘Hulk smash!’ " says Hurd. "And (director Louis Leterrier) said, ‘Come in, we’ll record you next week.’ Everybody thought it was either a staged event or we wouldn’t really do it. But the next week Lou came in in L.A. and his voice is the voice of the Hulk." [Source]
So a deaf guy is good at saying “Hulk smash!”, big whoop. I’ve seen a gorilla do sign language. Which is more amazing? I don’t know, but I say we settle this via thunderdome.

That is really a bizzzaro story…
My brain can’t… quite… process it….
BING!: Typical studio Idiots. Why not get Ray Romano to voice the Hulk? That is sure to bring in the family $’s…
I always figured that the Hulk sounded like Bobcat Goldthwait.
I always though the Hulk would sound like Charlie Brown…
I always thought the Hulk sounded like a duck. When he farts. A really big fuckin duck.
I think we now have closure on those mysterious creative differences problems they were having with Edward Norton a little while back. Eddie wanted the hulk’s voice to be calmer and his speaking style to be more verbose.
Big deal, I’ve seen a woman stay in one lane.

Can you kick yourself in the forehead, straightlegged?
toothay widdle mang…
How cool would it have been to use the guy who does all the trailer voiceovers?
"Captain, our weapons are useless against it… wait, he’s trying to say something!"
"In a LAND… where the MILITARY controls SCIENCE… ONE MAN finds the STRENGTH deep INSIDE himself… to SMASH."
Variety: Do I finally get to hear a good "Hulk smash!" or what?
At this stage the interview ended as the reporter dissapeared up his own asshole.
Ferrigno first tried out for the voiceover in Ang Lee’s Hulk, but his confusion was obvious when he yelled, "THAY YO PWAYERS AND MAKE MO WITAMINS!"
That’s the guy from Willow? I thought it was Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Robo: If it was JCVD he’d be doing the splits. That’s how you can always identify him.
A. B. D. T. S.
Always Be Doing The Splits.
One quick question: What the fuck is Lou looking at? The camera is right in front of you jackass. But I guess there was something else going on slightly to the left. That made everybody happy.
One quick question: What the fuck is Lou looking at?
I don’t know, but I’ll bet it was a) shiny and b) terrified.
Shiny and terrified? Was it R. Kelly?
Well, Master Blaster was a retarded guy.
No. Blaster was the retarded guy. Master was the little dude that rode on him.
Lour Ferrigno never looks directly at the camera for fear that he will steal the camera’s soul.
BTK, Lour Ferrigno is Lou’s French cousin.
is the Bill Bixby dead? that’s the guy who played banner right? is he dead? I could look it up I really can’t be bothered.
Don’t bother. New up.
Bixby’s cancer recurred and was diagnosed as inoperable. On November 21, 1993, six days after his final assignment on Blossom, Bixby died of complications from cancer in Century City, California.
from wiki, incase you were wondering.
Willow is still "standing" yet Jason Segal still lays unconscious in Hollywood…whats this world coming to
I hope Lou and Warrick team up for Leprechaun vs. Hulk because that would just be badass.
That would be WAY to much green….
Thanks Jokes. I can rest easy now. I was just worried he’d feel left out, but I guess you can’t be more left out than dead.
