The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a habit of introducing characters and then not using them for years after their early appearances. In one case, this made sense because The Incredible Hulk<\/a> was an early MCU movie that was a co-production, and thanks to that issue, many things from that film ended up disappearing for a long time. However, it seemed like the MCU remembered all these heroes and made some changes to bring a lot of them back. William Hurt returned as Thaddeus Ross, starting with Captain America: Civil War. Tim Roth came back as Abomination in the She-Hulk Disney+ series, and Tim Blake Nelson made his return as The Leader in Captain America: Brave New World.<\/p>\n

Tim Roth was talking about playing Emil Blonsky<\/a>, aka The Abomination, and talked about the chance of seeing him again in the MCU. Roth was fantastic in his return to the MCU in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law in 2022, and many fans want to know if he might return again in the future. When asked if he wanted to come back for Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, he told GamesRadar+<\/a>\u00a0\u201cYeah, just go. Be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Roth Only Joined the MCU to Embarrass His Kids<\/p>\n

Tim Roth admitted that the only reason he joined the MCU was to \u201cmake my kids embarrased at school.\u201d He even went on to say, \u201cI did a couple of movies like that. I did Planet of the Apes for that [reason] as well, just to literally to embarrass him at school.\u201d However, since The Incredible Hulk was widely considered the worst<\/a> of the early MCU movies, it was possibly embarrassing for different reasons. However, the MCU became hugely successful, so by now, it isn\u2019t an embarrassment, but a badge of honor for most kids to know their dads were part of that universe. <\/p>\n

It also gave Tom Roth some juicy stuff to dig into when he returned in the criminally underrated meta series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law<\/a>. That Disney+ series received a lot of bad reviews from a corner of the MCU fandom who either hated anything with a female hero in the lead (like Captain Marvel\u2019s review bombing) or people who never read She-Hulk comics and didn\u2019t know she broke the fourth wall years before Deadpool was even invented. However, that series was spectacular, and Roth\u2019s Abomination was hugely fun in that series. <\/p>\n

Roth returned for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law for a different reason than The Incredible Hulk. He didn\u2019t join the Disney+ series to embarrass his kids, but because it sounded fun to him. He said he loved working with Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk) and had worked with her husband (Brendan Hines) on the TV series Lie to Me. He also said that Mark Ruffalo was \u201chilarious.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a habit of introducing characters and then not using them for years after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348325,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,2701,270,57251],"class_list":["post-348324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-marvel-cinematic-universe","tag-movies","tag-regular-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
