Tim Roth will bring his considerable acting chops to the role of Emil Blonsky, aka The Abomination (though that monicker won't be used in the film), in Louis Leterrier's new Hulk movie for Marvel Studios.  In the Hulk comics The Abomination is a KGB agent who deliberately exposed himself to gamma rays in order to gain Hulk-like size and strength.  In the movie Blonsky is a mercenary, not a Russian agent, but he still gets a major dose of radiation in order to provide the Hulk a worthy adversary, though screenwriter Zak Penn strictly refuses to call the character, The Abomination (see 'Liv Tyler to Star in Hulk').

Roth will star opposite Edward Norton and Liv Tyler.  The Zak Penn script for the new Hulk film begins with Bruce Banner on the run from government forces trying desperately to find a cure for his condition.
