Tim Roth Talks Returning To Marvel And Working On She-Hulk

gamerant.com:

Marvel Studios' upcoming films and television shows will introduce several newcomers to the MCU, but that doesn't mean a few fan favorites who've been missing for a while have been forgotten. Tim Roth will reprise his role as the Abomination in Tatiana Maslany'sShe-Hulk series for Disney Plus, and the actor recently opened up about his MCU return.

Before Roth's upcoming return in She-Hulk, fans reunited with the Abomination for the first time since 2008's The Incredible Hulk in 2021's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. In that film, Abomination was a (seemingly) willing participant in an underground fight club, losing a battle to Benedict Wong's Wong.

While the appearance by the Abomination in Shang-Chiwas brief and provided no details on what the character had been up to since fans last saw him, it was welcomed surprise to the already anticipated film. In fact, the return of Abomination came as a shock to Roth as well, who discussed how his journey back to the MCU came about with Uproxx. "Well, honestly, it totally surprised me. I went in to chat with Kevin Feige and he said, 'I’ve got an idea. Come in.' Really? Really? Because the original thing that I did, when I did that first Incredible Hulk movie, was I just did it for my kids," Roth said.

Roth also reflected on the fact that when The Incredible Hulk was being shot, the Marvel Cinematic Universe hadn't even begun yet, as Iron Man had yet to be released at the time. Roth noted that in the time since, Marvel Studios has nailed down how to produce a franchise consisting of multiple interconnected films. As for his forthcoming return in She-Hulk, Roth had nothing but good things to say
