Lou Ferrigno Reappears at Comic Con and Looks Decades Younger

His convention appearance underscores a long-running public link to the Hulk, his memories of the original casting, his views on modern CGI portrayals, and continued film work.

Overview

  • Lou Ferrigno attended Niagara Falls Comic Con in early June and drew strong fan reaction for a notably youthful look and maintained muscular physique.
  • At the event he flashed his trademark smile, struck classic Hulk poses and signed autographs for attendees, prompting widespread social media praise.
  • Ferrigno told reporters that Richard Kiel was originally considered for the 1977 Hulk role but producers pursued a more muscular actor and cast him after a nationwide audition.
  • He noted the shift to CGI in modern Hulk portrayals, joking that a CGI Hulk “can’t sign autographs,” and confirmed he has voiced or cameoed in later Hulk films.
  • Ferrigno said he recently finished filming Scorpion King 4, which is scheduled for November 2026 release, and is attached to the Warner Bros. comedy Moms’ Night Out, showing he remains active in film.
