The Incredible Hulk

Trivia: The filmmakers decided to make the production environmentally-friendly, using hybrid vehicles on set, zero-or-low VOC paint and locally-sourced yellow pine to build the sets, among other measures. As such, it became the first blockbuster film to receive the Environmental Media Association's Green Seal, which is displayed during the end credits.

Trivia: When Gnl. Ross is in the cooling cell to get the super soldier stuff for Blonsky, on the lid of that specific container, it says, "Developed by: Dr. Reinstein." This is the alias of Dr. Erskine, who made Captain America.

Trivia: Bruce Banner is inexplicably called Bob for several issues of The Hulk comic books. This was a mistake on the part of Stan Lee who had a hard time remembering his characters names, presumably because he drew several superhero comic book series at the same time. It was later revealed that Bruce Banner's full name is Robert Bruce Banner.

Trivia: Early drafts of the script were indeed written to be a direct sequel to the prior 2003 Ang Lee "Hulk" film. (Which explains some of the connections the films share, such as "Hulk" ending in South America and "The Incredible Hulk" opening there.) It was then retooled throughout pre-production to fit better into Marvel's Cinematic Universe concept, with producer Gale Anne Hurd referring to it as a "requel" - a combination of reboot and sequel. Finally, it was decided that the film would be a total reboot.

Trivia: The Hulk only says six words in the entire film.

More quotes from The Incredible Hulk

Question: In the alternate opening of this movie, there have been many rumors of Captain America's cameo frozen in the ice as the Hulk smashes it and a big wave of ice shatters. If you look at it very carefully it does seem that it is him. So does anyone know if there has been any confirmation that it is him?

Answer: Yes. In the alternate opening, after Bruce turns into the Hulk and causes the ice to collapse, a huge chunk of ice is broken free from the ground. In this ice is a figure dressed in blue holding a round shield with circular red and white stripes. The best way to see this is waiting until the huge ice wall breaks and then slowly advance frame-by-frame and eventually Captain America and his shield will be seen.

Chosen answer: No, none whatsoever. It's something thrown in by the effects department and that fact that it only exists in a deleted scene makes it a mere curiosity and not any sort of canonical representation of the movie version of the character. With a dedicated Captain America film in production, intended to be released in 2011, they would not have thrown in anything definitive regarding the character into an earlier film, to avoid placing constraints on those making the character's own film. While, yes, Steve Rogers will almost certainly end up frozen in ice at some point, that will be dealt with by his film without worrying about an Easter Egg thrown into a previous movie.
