Purcell says: "The whole thing was a rumor. Marvel never approached me. It was just a rumor." Would he think about it, if asked? "Depending, you know? Really, I loved the first 'Hulk.' Obviously, if they can come up with that kind of concept, I would have loved to have done it, but they didn't and again, it was just all rumor."
