Synopsis: Banished to outer space, the Hulk crashes on a treacherous planet where he incites an uprising in this adaptation of the blockbuster graphic novel. When a rogue general&’s attack on the Hulk outside Las Vegas ends in deadly tragedy, a group of Earth&’s heroes known as the Illuminati must make a difficult decision. While scientist Bruce Banner is not a killer, his alter-ego the Hulk is a threat to everyone—including himself. The Illuminati&’s plan is to trick Banner into boarding a space shuttle to repair a dangerous satellite, only to send him to a peaceful planet where he can harm no one and no one can harm him. But when Banner learns of their betrayal, he loses control and transforms into the Hulk. In a fit of rage, he sets himself on a new course, crashing into the planet Sakaar where the tyrannical Red King rules through violence and anger. Captured and sold into slavery, Hulk becomes Green Scar, the planet&’s mightiest and most popular gladiator. But his masters underestimate their new warrior . . . Forging a pact with his fellow gladiators Miek, Brood, Korg, Hiroim, and Elloe Kaifi, the Hulk sets a foundation for a revolution. It will either improve Sakaar or destroy it—and help Hulk satisfy his hunger for revenge.Adapted from the graphic novel by Greg Pak, Carlo Pagulayan and Aaron Lopresti.
