Set in 2018, 15 years after Judgment Day has destroyed billions of human lives and left much of the world a blasted ruin, a now 30-something John Connor (Christian Bale) fights as a member of the human resistance against the machine army of self-intelligent Skynet.

Planet Hulk touchdown in February

In February 2010 Lionsgate will drop the latest Marvel Studios animated direct-to-DVD title, Planet Hulk.

There the Hulk became a gladiator in the Red King's arena, learning along the way about the history of Sakaar and of a legend that a fighter will come to break the world. Is the Hulk the worldbreaker prophesized? Will his strength free the citizens of Sakaar from the iron fist rule of the Red King and grant them freedom or will the unlimited rage of the Hulk be the force that destroys the planet?

Director Mike Dougherty has confirmed that the movie is slated to come out on DVD this fall around the time that the holiday it celebrates takes place.
