"Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn cleared up rumors regarding a Hulk appearance in the franchise.
Multiple reports claimed "Planet Hulk" would be appearing the in "Guardians of the Galaxy," according to Indie Wire. However, Gunn called the rumors absurd and denied any Hulk involvement.
"I can answer that question very easily: it is absolute, 100 percent bulls**t," Gunn told Indie Wire. "It feels like a great relief to finally say this after all the dumb stuff on the Internet...There's not going to be a 'Planet Hulk' movie, there was never going to be a 'Planet Hulk' movie, there was never a plan for the Hulk to team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy - I wouldn't want the Hulk to team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy! And it's all a bunch of complete bulls**t."
"The whole thing is, there's Sakaraan in the movie," Gunn added. "And the reason there's Sakaraan in the movie is because there aren't that many alien races in the Marvel Universe, and of those prominent alien races, such as the Kree and the Skrull."
Gunn claimed a typo in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" script lead to the "Planet Hulk" theory. The alien race Badoon was replaced with the race Sakaraan, which Gunn blames for the "Hulk" conspiracy.
"Guardians Of The Galaxy" will be released to theaters on Aug. 1. For those unfamiliar with the film, check out Marvel's official synopsis below:
