Hulk And Iron Man To Appear In The Avengers Movie? By Peter Sciretta/May 18, 2007 12:49 pm EST In the past I’ve viciously bashed Zak Penn as an overrated hack.

But truth be told, he’s written a lot of crap, including the Elektra movie, X-Men: The Last Stand and an early draft of Fantastic Four....
