Reuters reports that Marvel's latest film, The Incredible Hulk is unlikely to get a sequel.

"We're happy with the financial results, even if they [only] reach the first film's levels," a Marvel insider insisted. "Having a sequel is not the definition of success."

That being said, about one month after release, the Louis Leterrier-directed "The Incredible Hulk" has earned $125 million, the same as what "Hulk" raked in at the same time in its run. "Hulk" finished with $132 million [domestically], and its successor is unlikely to do much better.

"Hollywood is always about perception," he noted. "The first Hulk had such high expectations after the NBC-Universal merger, then with the new 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 overdelivered, relative to its underpromise."

It's key to remember that "Hulk" has yet to be released in some markets and huge digital video market... either way, it's been a great year for comic bok movies, who knows what the future holds?
