ABC to Develop HULK TV Series for 2013

In a conference call with the press today, ABC president Paul Lee confirmed reports that a HULK television series is currently in development at the network. The adaptation of the Marvel comic superhero is scheduled to appear on ABC's 2013 schedule. 

Revealed Lee, "The Hulk is in development. It wasn't going to be ready for this season, but we hope it will be ready for next season. We would like to see some Marvel projects move to television."

The ABC exec also shared that another project from Marvel, Jessica Jones, may not come to fruition.  "We did not pick it up for this season [and] we have another development which is further at the front of the queue," he said.

When questioned about other Marvel series headed to the network, Lee replied "We've got some in development, but none that I can talk about at this point. Of course, we're immensely proud to be in a company with The Avengers and... we're going to continue to develop aggressively."

The HULK project, to be produced by director Guillermo Del Toro and Battlestar Galactica's David Eick, was first announced in November 2010.
