The Incredible Hulk features incredible voice talent
SEGA ANNOUNCES VOICE TALENT FOR THE INCREDIBLE HULK™ VIDEO GAME
A-list Hollywood talent crush their way into upcoming videogame based on the action-thriller
SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (April 9, 2008) - Marvel Entertainment, Inc., SEGA® of America, Inc and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced that all prominent cast members from the upcoming action-thriller from Universal Pictures and Marvel Studios, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, will also lend their voices and likeness to the video game of the same name, slated to release with the film in June 2008. Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, Tim Blake Nelson and William Hurt will all take part in the game as their respective characters. Based on the film and the popular comic book series created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, THE INCREDIBLE HULK™ is being developed by Edge of Reality and published by SEGA for next-generation consoles and the PC.
SEGA brings the film's A-list actors to the game to create a more authentic experience. Edward Norton (Fight Club, The Italian Job, The Illusionist) plays scientist Bruce Banner, a man desperately seeking to rid himself of the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk. Liv Tyler (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Strangers) is Dr. Betty Ross, Banner's love interest, while Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction) voices Emil Blonsky (alter ego of The Hulk's archenemy, The Abomination). Tim Blake Nelson (Syriana, Meet the Fockers) portrays Dr. Samuel Sterns, and William Hurt (Into the Wild, The Village) plays General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, the man who wants to capture The Hulk and brutally exploit his power.
Fast-paced and action-packed, the blockbuster franchise and comic book saga will unfold for the first time on next-generation platforms, as Banner scours the planet trying to find anything to help him fight his involuntary rage. Take the role of one of Marvel®'s most powerful Super Heroes in THE INCREDIBLE HULK™, an intensely realistic third-person action video game. Gamers can demolish anything in their path, including lampposts, passing cars and even buildings. The fury-fueled game also features key moments from the film, as well as additional plotlines and characters from THE INCREDIBLE HULK universe. Players crash through New York City, battling gigantic enemies amidst soaring skyscrapers in a massive open world.

I'm just guessing here, but maybe they intended something like: Incredible Hulk(T) (t for trademark). ?? ;)

It's TM for Trademark and C for Copy Right ;)

The press release was written in HTML/Rich Text and then when converted to plain text it changes the little TM font to T. I forget the key combination to get a little TM next to a word but I know that's what happens when it's converted from markup to plain text.

It wasn't in the presser.

This game might have a chance. They have had to hold back on the film because of arguments over the director's cut. Giving the studio more time to work and QA test.
I swear they made a movie just like this a 5 years ago... I swear.

The Joystiq network doesn't seem this gleeful when we point out their typos...

As a suffix, T denotes Turbo.
Seen the game yet? Not very impressive.
Print or TV Ads RARELY specify a TM or R for characters either.
X-Men would be trademarked. So would Iron Man. Oh, and Spiderman.

Single serving voice actors.

It's already been pointed out but yeah, it's a TM symbol gone wonky after conversion. You'll notice Ubisoft press releases tend to do the same thing.
