They're probably coming later in the year. Possibly shortly after Homecoming hits cinemas.

Disney don't care, they'll release UHDs when they're good and ready.

Universal can release both Hulks -- 2003 and MCU 2008.
So we may soon have 2 MCU movies on UHD -- but not from Disney.
I wonder if foreign releases of MCU movies wIll motivate them. Since UHD is not locked people may import from Europe.

If Marvel/Disney asks Universal to hold off releasing Incredible Hulk until some big boxset, Universal will wait. They'll get a nice big cut of those profits without really having to do anything.

Would love to get Ang Lee's Hulk on UHD.

Would prefer if both received 4K remasters, TBH.

SPIDER-MAN 1-3 are surefires for those solely collecting fully 4K on UHD and not lazy 2K upscales. Obviously because they were part of the Superbit for Blu-ray disc, the Mastered in 4K imprint.

I doubt Ang Lee's Hulk will get a remaster, honestly there's no guarantee it's considered popular enough to even get a UHD. Incredible Hulk should look fine though, even as an upscale. Fond memories of watching that BD, 'twas my first...

Still waiting on Amazing Spider-Man.

I'll probably grab these three when they hit dirt cheap prices, because that's the quality of these movies!
Bad casting, bad acting, bad story, poor characterization.
Willem Dafoe, Cliff Robertson (I might be biased cause he was a family friend) and J.K. were the only saving grace in these movies.

Even with all its issues Spidey 3 is better than either of the ASM movies. And 1 + 2 are among the best Marvel CBMs we've ever gotten. Hell, among the best CBMs, period.

Completely agreed.

Yes. Even despite my love of all the X-Men movies and certain MCU movies like Winter Soldier, I think Spider-Man 2 is probably my favorite Marvel brand movie of all.

[Petey Parker]

Spider-Man 2 is fantastic and easily my favorite Spider-Man movie so far but Spider-Man 3 is dead to me. The only redeeming factor about that movie is that James Cromwell and Bryce Dallas Howard were good choices for George and Gwen Stacy. As many problems as the Amazing Spider-Man movies have, Spider-Man 3 still ranks far, far below them. I can still own and watch copies of the two ASM films, the same can't be said of Spider-Man 3 (which I won't even watch when it comes on TV)

Spider-Man 3 is better than ASM 1 and 2 combined and I know for damn sure it will be better than Homecoming.

Raimi + Maguire = unbeatable.

While Spider-Man 3 has flaws I find the hate for it really baffling.

I think Homecoming will be better but there aren't a lot of good things to say about the ASMs. I don't expect Homecoming to top 1 and 2 though; frankly I'm not sure those will ever be topped in my mind, largely for the nostalgia but also because they're legitimately amazing CBMs, especially 2.

It's more that it was such a comedown from Spidey 2, I think. I also reckon it's one of the best CBMs ever made and I've got a LOT of love for the first one too ("go web go!"), but 3 takes on a much goofier tone and it feels like such a mess story-wise, what with the retrofitting of events from Spidey 1 plus throwing all these villains into the mix (Sandman, Goblin, Venom). They made Kirsten Dunst look like a snaggle-toothed crack ***** too, and Geoff don't like that!

It's still fun in its own way but it's really, really not a patch on the other two.

It's not, no, but people treat it like a Quest for Peace or Batman & Robin and it ain't that either. It's a flawed but entertaining 3-stars out of 5 movie, and it has some nice closure for the story you kind of need IMO. Spider-Man 2 ends with cliffhangers, let's not forget.

My biggest issue with the movie is the Sandman stuff honestly, while most people complain about Venom. Sandman gets very little character development outside that one visit to his kid, the retcon of Uncle Ben was terrible and the ending for his character was lame to say the least. Take out Sandman entirely and beef up the Harry and Venom plots a bit and the movie would be drastically improved.

My view of Spidey 3 is forever tainted (in a good way) by how much fun it was seeing it on opening night. I've never been in a crowd like that before, people were whooping and cheering and laughing (even at the bridge scene lol) and having a blast from start to finish. Watching it at home, its flaws become more obvious, but even the finale is a good bit of comic book fun, even if it doesn't make a lick of sense in the end. Even though I wish they'd gone through with Spidey 4, the last shot of 3 is pretty perfect as far as wrapping up that iteration of Spider-Man. As a CBM trilogy it's not as good as Cap but I'd probably put it ahead of Dark Knight only because of how awful Rises is.

[Geoff D]

Agreed, gentlemen. They had a decent movie there if they decided on using two out of the three villains, but Avi Arad had his way and shoehorned Venom in because of how many toys he sold. True story.

[imsounoriginal]

Venom as a solo villain, or one of two villains, is fine. But as an afterthought in the movie's last act... nah. He deserves better. He deserves an R-rated solo feature that will spawn a new shared universe with other baddies.
