Hurt Says He's No Villain in Incredible Hulk Movie

---

Actor William Hurt, who plays the Hulk's original arch-enemy General "Thunderbolt" Ross in the new Incredible Hulk movie is less of an antagonist in the newest film.

When asked if Ross was a villain, Hurt answered "Noooo. He's conflicted."

Hurt's character, General Ross, is looked at as being one of the Hulk's villains, yet is really just a dedicated career military man who is trying to protect his country, and his daughter, Betty. (Liv Tyler)

Hurt describes his character:

General Ross, father of the paramour of Bruce, so-called nemesis of The Hulk. Wants Hulk's power but is humiliated by Hulk's conscience. He actually sees and occasionally recognizes that it's more developed than his own, even though he's a patriot and a warrior for his country, has sacrificed immensely for that purpose, but at the expense of - at times all of his humanity, which he occasionally recovers glimpses of. Interesting, you know.

However, fans don't need to worry that The Incredible Hulk will be purely cerebral. This film will also feature the Hulk's long-time rival, the Abomination, played by Tim Roth, and we can expect plenty of smashing between the two gamma-irradiated behemoths.

The Incredible Hulk, starring Edward Norton, William Hurt, Liv Tyler and Tim Roth smashes it's way in to theatres on June 13, 2008.
