Guillermo del Toro Pitching a Take on ABC's Incredible Hulk Series?

Marvel & ABC's tentative live-action series for the "Incredible Hulk" reportedly already has a pitcher in Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro. Check it out!

The announcement of Marvel Studios teaming up with Disney's ABC network is said to adapt many of Marvel's comic properties into live-action television series. And one of those properties being 'The Incredible Hulk,' the studio is reportedly setting the series as a top priority. And now Io9 is claiming:

"Hulk has a "showrunner wanted" [sign] around its neck, and sources are saying that Guillermo del Toro and Battlestar Galactica producer David Eick will be pitching a take."

The site further claims that ABC had no comment, neither confirming or denying it. But with great CBM titles under his belt, such as Hellboy, it's sequel, and Blade II, what do you think of Guillermo del Toro pitching a weekly Incredible Hulk series?

Guillermo Del Toro Is NOT Directing Godzilla

Recently Latino Review reported that he was offered the chance to direct the new Godzilla reboot. However, according to HitFix, Del Toro says that's not exactly true.

 

"What rumor?"

That was Del Toros first reaction according to Drew McWeeny, over at HitFix. He reports he caught up with Director Guillermo Del Toro and asked him about recent rumors that he's been tapped to helm Legendary Pictures new Godzilla reboot. As reported yesterday by Latino Review.

This is what the director had to say, once the rumor was explained to him.

"I am not involved in 'Godzilla' at all," Guillermo replied "I haven't read it or plan to read it. Nor have I been approached to direct it."

Drew goes on to say.

That sounds pretty definitive to me. I've known Guilermo a long time, and he's not the sort of guy to shy away from geeking out about this or that potential project. He's a big monster fan, and I'm sure if he was thinking about taking on the King of the Monsters, he'd be happy to share some of that enthusiasm.
