Tim Roth joins Hulk cast

Following this week's announcement that Liv Tyler is to join Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk, it has emerged that Tim Roth will play the villain of the movie.

Roth, who recently starred in horror remake Dark Water, is to star as Abomination, who purposely exposes his body to high levels of gamma radiation and gains powers stronger than the Hulk's.

And after he discovers he cannot return to his natural state, Abomination targets the Hulk and becomes his number one enemy.

No other casting details of The Incredible Hulk have yet been disclosed, but the film could prove to be a worthy competitor to 2003's Hulk, which starred Eric Bana as the green strongman.

Meanwhile, upcoming films starring Tim Roth include My Blueberry Nights and youth Without Youth. He is known to many for his role in Pulp Fiction, Rob Roy and Gridlock'd.
