Who Should Be The Next Hulk? Peep Our Top Latino Hotheads

By Michael Lopez

Marvel sure seems to be having a tough time keeping one Hulk around. First it was Eric Bana as a green guy plagued with daddy issues in Ang Lee’s “HULK.” Then, they threw in Ed Norton for the 2008 reboot, “The Incredible Hulk.” Now it looks like they need ANOTHER Hulk for 2012’s much hyped “Avengers” movie! So who should the next green guy be?

Keep in mind, it doesn’t have to be a ripped, bodybuilder type, the CGI takes care of all of that. In fact, the smaller the actor the better. We want a weaker guy who’ll tear you apart the second he gets too angry. You know Team Blogamole’s all about equal opportunity, so here’s our list of Latinos we think would be a great fit for those torn jean shorts.

Carlos Mencia
Already known for his hotheaded style of comedy, Carlos loves to play up that “angry man” vibe. Now imagine if every time you set him off, he got those green-tinged eyes and started smashing up buildings! Probably a far-fetched choice, but definitely fun if you wanted to give “The Avengers” some comic relief.

Gael Garcia Bernal
How great would it be to see this sensitive leading man “Hulk out” when the world does him wrong? It’s obvious that he’s got the acting chops. “The Avengers” would be the perfect launching pad to connect him with mainstream American audiences.

Nestor Carbonell
If you’re looking for a mild-mannered type, no Latino actor better fits the bill than Nestor! We can picture him now as a subdued Bruce Banner, trying so hard to keep it together…then BAM! Pushed too far and here comes the Hulk! Plus he was in “The Dark Knight”! ‘Nuff said.

Efren Ramirez
Pedro as the Hulk?! You bet! The best trait about the Bruce Banner character is that he’s so unassuming, trying to blend into society and hide his secret from the world. Well who better to step into those low pro shoes than Pedro from “Napoleon Dynamite”?! He’s got our “Vote”!

Jay Hernandez
We’re throwing Jay Hernandez into the ring for the pure hunk factor. Yes, we’ve seen the cast list for “The Avengers”: Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and hot Hollywood up-and-comers that are sure to provoke loud cheers walking down the red carpet. Jay fits that mold perfectly!

"The Avengers" is set to release May 4, 2012.
