I don't think Paramount ever had any character rights, they just distributed the films for Marvel and took 8% for themselves...

It would make sense for Universal to try and hold onto the Hulk character rights for as long as possible. But there was talk of a Guillermo Del Toro Hulk TV project at ABC rather than NBC....
