6 Marvel Movie Storylines That Were Never Resolved

1. What’s up with the Abomination and the Leader?

The poor Incredible Hulk. Despite its modest box office success, the film is often considered the black sheep of the MCU. Perhaps that’s due to the subsequent recasting of Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, but whatever the case, the film left two promising antagonists just waiting for their chance to shine. After fighting Abomination in Harlem, the villain is taken away and is presumably in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. somewhere. He’s still very much on the table for a reappearance, especially if rumors that the Avengers will face multiple baddies down the line comes to pass.

Moreover, Tim Blake Nelson’s Samuel Sterns was on the verge of transforming into longtime Hulk foe, the Leader in the third act. Even if we don’t get a proper Hulk sequel, the MCU should let this villain show up elsewhere, since his origin is already established.

Tim Roth said a couple of years ago that he held talks with MCU about a Abomination cameo in Age of Ultron, but they felt there was no place in the movie for it and binned the idea.

Gen. Ross involvement in Captain America brings the Hulk movie back into the fold somewhat, so a Abomination appearance could very well happen some time (would be nice to have it in Thor Ragnarok, but if it did happen they are really keeping hush on that one).

Was the 2008 film "Incredible Hulk" supposed to be the first one for a trilogy?

This article is really dumb. Some of these storylines were resolved eventually, so the writer should have waited before claiming they were never resolved. What's more, the story revolving around Tony's new element in Iron Man 2 was actually resolved in that movie but the writer apparently wasn't paying attention. The situation with Abomination and Leader are the only unresolved issues.
