On A Rampage... the Incredible Hulk's Cousin, the SHE-HULK, as Portrayed By BRIGITTE NiELSEN in the Not Filmed Comic Book Based Movie In an earlier blog post I showed how Brigitte Nielsen, (born July 15, 1963 in Denmark), became very popular in the 1980s with B-movies, most notably as the lead character in Red Sonja, (1985), due to her stature (she stands at 6 ft 1 in, or 185 cm, tall) and sultry looks. She made the Red Sonja character her own, but there was no sequel, and she went on to other movie projects with Sylvester Stallone, who became her husband. However, in the late 1980s, Marvel Comics approached Brigitte to pose for photographs dressed as the comic book character She-Hulk. Brigitte had previously impressed the company with her prior portrayal of their character Red Sonja and accordingly they hoped she would prove just as successful in a new movie venture. Unfortunately the photos that were produced did not enlicit a large amount of investors in the potential film and Marvel was forced to scrap the project. The top right photo shows Brigitte modelling a skimpy outfit and I 'photoshopped' the photo to reflect a greenish hue about her, as the She-Hulk is green like her cousin the Incredible Hulk! You can see that Brigitte definitely had the body double of the She-Hulk at that time! Sadly nothing became of the She-Hulk movie with Brigitte, and there does not appear to be any interest in producing one at this time.... instead we are getting Ant-Man, Iron Man and some other characters in possible pre-production. She-Hulk is currently being published in a new mini-series comic book, which would make it about the fifth time a solo series featuring her has been attempted ! I personally enjoyed the second comics series, which had John Byrne write and pencil the series, where She-Hulk would break the 'fourth wall' and talk to readers of the comics, knowing that she was in a comic book with her adventures being told. Kind of a strange humour book, but when reading the comic it makes more sense... For those interested in She-Hulk comic books, we have listed them in our eBay Featured Store and eBay Pro Store.
