ABC chief updates Incredible Hulk, Punisher from Marvel

In a conference call to discuss the network’s new fall schedule, ABC Entertainment Group President Paul Lee said multiple Marvel projects are in active development. (Both ABC and Marvel are under the umbrella of The Walt Disney Company.)

“Of course we’re immensely proud to be in a company with ‘The Avengers,'” Lee said. “The Hulk is in development. It wasn’t going to be ready for this season but we hope will be ready for next season.”

Lee also acknowledged development on an unnamed Marvel project for Fox (most likely “The Punisher”).

Steve Epting: Lichtensteined!!

You may have heard about Roy Lichtenstein’s painting Sleeping Girl fetching $44.8 million in a Sotheby’s auction this week.
