The DVD is packed with extras. Spread over two discs are a number of deleted scenes which run close to an hour. These scenes include an alternate opening with Banner attempting suicide in the Arctic which was deemed too dark for the film. It also has Captain America’s body frozen in ice, which can be seen for a split second in the bottom corner of your screen.

“Making of Incredible Hulk” has interviews with cast and crew, and Ed Norton talking about his love of the Incredible Hulk and how he wasn’t sure he could do the character justice until he met with Marvel studios. Also included is a section on how they filmed the movie and how it took four days to film the final scene.“Becoming the Hulk/Becoming the Abomination” are a pair of featurettes that show what was involved in bringing both creatures to the screen; interviews with Roth and Norton and Leterrier talk about what he wanted the creatures to look like.
“Anatomy of a Hulk-Out” covers the transformation scenes with the Hulk in the bottling plant, the college and in Harlem, and what it took to accomplish this.
“From Comic Book to Screen” takes a scene from the movie and animates it in flash-style. The scene was inspired by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s Hulk: Grey and this featurette animates panels from the issue.
