A sequel to 'The Incredible Hulk' is extremely unlikely, reports say.The movie has failed to better the box office sales of its predecessor, 2003's Ang Lee-directed 'Hulk' - which was considered a flop by many - and so won't return for another instalment, yet bosses have dismissed suggestions they regard the film as a failure.A Marvel insider said: "We're happy with the financial results, even if they only reach the first film's levels. Having a sequel is not the definition of success."The Edward Norton-starring 'The Incredible Hulk' has earned $125 million in four weekends in America - the same as 'Hulk' generated at the same time in its run.'Hulk' eventually finished with $132 million and its successor is not expected to bring in much more.However, Entertainment Analyst David Davis claimed that the new film could be considered a success due to low expectations."Hollywood is always about perception. The first Hulk had such high expectations after the NBC-Universal merger and was supposed to be critical-favourite Ang Lee's breakout commercial blockbuster."Then with the new 'The Incredible Hulk' film, Marvel was able to underplay the importance of the success after the great success of 'Iron Man' this summer. So the new one over-delivered, relative to its underpromise."
